Two discrete random variables X and Y have a joint probability function f(x,y) given in the following table: f(x,y) x=0 1 2 y=0 0.30 0.12 0.18 1 0.20 0.12 0.08 Find the mean of Y.

A prescription drug firm wants to know the effectiveness of a new drug in animal test, that is, percentage (p) of diseased animals cured after the use of the drug. So, the form has to run some tests.  The firm uses the sample proportion to estimate p and wishes that the maximum error is less than 3% with 95% confidence. Find the minimal number of tests that are required to run.  

A prescription drug firm wants to know the effectiveness of a new drug in animal test, that is, percentage (p) of diseased animals cured after the use of the drug. So the form has to run some tests.  Suppose that the firm arranges 50 tests and it turns out that 24 animals are cured after the use of the drug. Give a point estimate for p.

The life, in years, of a certain type of electrical switch has an exponential distribution with an average life β = 2.  Randomly select one switch and install it in a system, what is the probability the switch fails during the first year?
