STAT 225 Quiz
Sarah is examining the concession stands before going to watch a movie. The probability that she buys candy is 0.70. If she buys candy, there is a 0.40 probability that she will also buy popcorn and soda, a 0.40 probability that she will buy only soda and 0.2 probability she will buy nothing else. If she does not buy candy, she will buy popcorn and soda with probability 0.80 and 0.1 probability she buys only soda and 0.1 probability she buys nothing else. Let X represent the number of items (candy, popcorn, soda) that she
purchases.
1. Find the PMF of X.
2. Calculate E(X).
3. Calculate Var(X).
P(A) = 1 P(Ac)
P(A j B) =
P(A \ B)
P(B)
P(A) = P(A \ B) + P(A \ Bc)
P(A j B) =
P(A) P(BjA)
P(A \ B) + P(A \ Bc)
P(A \ B) = P(A) P(BjA)
E(X) =

x p(x)
Var(X) = E(X2) E(X)2
