10.4 Exercise 16

Avg difficulty 2.5

The class {X,Y,Z}\left\{X , Y , Z\right\} is independent.

          X=-2IA+IB+3ICX = - 2 I_{A} + I_{B} + 3 I_{C}. Minterm probabilities are (in the usual order)

0 . 255 0 . 025 0 . 375 0 . 045 0 . 108 0 . 012 0 . 162 0 . 018 0 . 255 0 . 025 0 . 375 0 . 045 0 . 108 0 . 012 0 . 162 0 . 018

          Y=ID+3IE+IF-3Y = I_{D} + 3 I_{E} + I_{F} - 3. The class {D,E,F}\left\{D , E , F\right\} is independent with

P ( D ) = 0 . 32 P ( E ) = 0 . 56 P ( F ) = 0 . 40 P \left(D\right) = 0 . 32 P \left(E\right) = 0 . 56 P \left(F\right) = 0 . 40

          Z has distribution

Value -1.3 1.2 2.7 3.4 5.8
Probability 0.12 0.24 0.43 0.13 0.08

Determine P(X2+3XY2>3Z)P \left(X^{2} + 3 X Y^{2} > 3 Z\right).
