Reference no: EM131005697

The opponents of soccer team A are of two types: either they are a class 1 or a class 2 team. The number of goals team A scores against a class i opponent is a Poisson random variable with mean λi , where λ1 = 2, λ2 = 3. This weekend the team has two games against teams they are not very familiar with. Assuming that the ?rst team they play is a class 1 team with probability 0.6 and the second is, independently of the class of the ?rst team, a class 1 team with probability 0.3, determine
