    1. The document contains a homework problem on discrete random variables. 2. The first part asks to evaluate an exponential function defined as a power series and use the definition to solve problems about the number of cars passing a shop in a 3 minute period. 3. The probability distribution given for the number of cars is a Poisson distribution. The questions ask to explain why this is a valid probability distribution, and to calculate probabilities of specific numbers of cars passing.

    Homework 1 (Due Date : Saturday, 26 November 2022)


    x
    1. The exponential function e can be defined as a power series as

    xn x2 x3
    ex   1x   
    n 0 n ! 2! 3!

    (0.2)n e 0.2
    1.1 Use this definition to evaluate  .
    n 0 n!
    1.2 Suppose X is the number of cars that pass a shop during the period from 3:00 pm to
    3:03 pm. The probability distribution for X is given by

    (0.2)x e 0.2
    P (X  x )  where x  0,1, 2, 3,
    x!
    1.2.1 Explain why this is a valid probability distribution.
    1.2.2 Evaluate P (X  0) , P (X  1) , and P (X  2) .
    1.2.3 Find the probability that at least three cars will pass the shop in the given period.
