Discrete Random Variables

  • Can only assume a countable number of values

Examples:

  • Roll a die twice

Let X be the number of times 4 occurs

(then X could be 0, 1, or 2 times)

  • Toss a coin 5 times.

Let X be the number of heads

(then X = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5)

Probability Distribution For A Discrete Random Variable

  • A probability distribution for a discrete random variable is a mutually exclusive listing of all possible numerical outcomes for that variable and a probability of occurrence associated with each outcome.

Discrete Variables
Expected Value (Measuring Center)

  • Expected Value (or mean) of a discrete

variable (Weighted Average)

  • Example: Toss 2 coins,

X = # of heads,

compute expected value of X:

E(X) = ((0)(0.25) + (1)(0.50) + (2)(0.25))

= 1.0

0 0.25

Covariance

  • The covariance measures the strength of the linear relationship between two discrete random variables X and Y.
  • A positive covariance indicates a positive relationship.

  • A negative covariance indicates a negative relationship.

Chap 5-*

The Covariance Formula

  • The covariance formula:

where: X = discrete random variable X

Xi = the ith outcome of X

Y = discrete random variable Y

Yi = the ith outcome of Y

P(X=Xi,Y=Yi) = probability of occurrence of the

ith outcome of X and the ith outcome of Y

Investment Returns
The Mean

Consider the return per $1000 for two types of investments.

Economic Condition Prob. Investment
Passive Fund X Aggressive Fund Y
0.2 Recession - $25 - $200
0.5 Stable Economy + $50 + $60
0.3 Expanding Economy + $100 + $350

Chap 5-*

Investment Returns
The Mean

E(X) = μX = (-25)(.2) +(50)(.5) + (100)(.3) = 50

E(Y) = μY = (-200)(.2) +(60)(.5) + (350)(.3) = 95

Interpretation: Fund X is averaging a $50.00 return and fund Y is averaging a $95.00 return per $1000 invested.

Statistics for Managers Using Microsoft Excel® 7e Copyright ©2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Chap 5-*

Investment Returns
Standard Deviation

Interpretation: Even though fund Y has a higher average return, it is subject to much more variability and the probability of loss is higher.

Statistics for Managers Using Microsoft Excel® 7e Copyright ©2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Statistics for Managers Using Microsoft Excel® 7e Copyright ©2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Chap 5-*

Investment Returns
Covariance

Interpretation: Since the covariance is large and positive, there is a positive relationship between the two investment funds, meaning that they will likely rise and fall together.

  • Investment portfolios usually contain several different funds (random variables)
  • The expected return and standard deviation of two funds together can now be calculated.

Portfolio Example

Investment X: μX = 50 σX = 43.30

Investment Y: μY = 95 σY = 193.21

σXY = 8250

Suppose 40% of the portfolio is in Investment X and 60% is in Investment Y:

The portfolio return and portfolio variability are between the values for investments X and Y considered individually

Binomial Probability Distribution

  • A fixed number of observations, n
  • e.g., 15 tosses of a coin; ten light bulbs taken from a warehouse
  • Each observation is categorized as to whether or not the “event of interest” occurred
  • e.g., head or tail in each toss of a coin; defective or not defective light bulb
  • Since these two categories are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive
  • When the probability of the event of interest is represented as π, then the probability of the event of interest not occurring is 1 - π
  • Constant probability for the event of interest occurring (π) for each observation
  • Probability of getting a tail is the same each time we toss the coin

Binomial Probability Distribution

(continued)

  • Observations are independent
  • The outcome of one observation does not affect the outcome of the other
  • Two sampling methods deliver independence
  • Infinite population without replacement
  • Finite population with replacement

Possible Applications for the Binomial Distribution

  • A manufacturing plant labels items as either defective or acceptable
  • A firm bidding for contracts will either get a contract or not
  • A marketing research firm receives survey responses of “yes I will buy” or “no I will not”
  • New job applicants either accept the offer or reject it

The Binomial Distribution
Counting Techniques

  • Suppose the event of interest is obtaining heads on the toss of a fair coin. You are to toss the coin three times. In how many ways can you get two heads?
  • Possible ways: HHT, HTH, THH, so there are three ways you can getting two heads.
  • This situation is fairly simple. We need to be able to count the number of ways for more complicated situations.

Rule of Combinations

  • The number of combinations of selecting X objects out of n objects is

where:

n! =(n)(n - 1)(n - 2) . . . (2)(1)

X! = (X)(X - 1)(X - 2) . . . (2)(1)

The Poisson Distribution
Definitions

  • You use the Poisson distribution when you are interested in the number of times an event occurs in a given area of opportunity.
  • An area of opportunity is a continuous unit or interval of time, volume, or such area in which more than one occurrence of an event can occur.

  • The number of scratches in a car’s paint
  • The number of mosquito bites on a person
  • The number of computer crashes in a day

Chap 5-*

The Poisson Distribution

  • Apply the Poisson Distribution when:
  • You wish to count the number of times an event occurs in a given area of opportunity
  • The probability that an event occurs in one area of opportunity is the same for all areas of opportunity
  • The number of events that occur in one area of opportunity is independent of the number of events that occur in the other areas of opportunity
  • The probability that two or more events occur in an area of opportunity approaches zero as the area of opportunity becomes smaller
  • The average number of events per unit is  (lambda)

The Hypergeometric Distribution

  • The binomial distribution is applicable when selecting from a finite population with replacement or from an infinite population without replacement.

  • The hypergeometric distribution is applicable when selecting from a finite population without replacement.

Chap 5-*

The Hypergeometric Distribution

  • “n” trials in a sample taken from a finite population of size N
  • Sample taken without replacement
  • Outcomes of trials are dependent
  • Concerned with finding the probability of “X” items of interest in the sample where there are “A” items of interest in the population

Hypergeometric Distribution Formula

Where

N = population size

A = number of items of interest in the population

N – A = number of events not of interest in the population

n = sample size

x = number of items of interest in the sample

n – x = number of events not of interest in the sample

Properties of the
Hypergeometric Distribution

  • The mean of the hypergeometric distribution is
  • The standard deviation is

Where is called the “Finite Population Correction Factor”

Chap 5-*

Using the
Hypergeometric Distribution

Example: 3 different computers are checked out from 10 in the department. 4 of the 10 computers have illegal software loaded. What is the probability that 2 of the 3 selected computers have illegal software loaded?

N = 10 n = 3

A = 4 x = 2

The probability that 2 of the 3 selected computers have illegal software loaded is 0.30, or 30%.
