Use the geometric distribution to derive E(Y), E(Y^2), and V(Y) from the Poisson distribution
Let Y > 0 be a continuous random variable representing time from regimen start to bone-marrow transplant. Everyone does not survive long enough to get the transplant. Let X > 0 be a continuous random variable representing time from regimen start to death. We can assume X ⊥ Y and model time to death as X ∼ Exp(rate = θ) and time to transplant as Y ∼ Exp(rate = µ). Where Exp(rate = λ) denotes the exponential distribution with density f(z | λ) = λe−λz for z > 0 and 0 elsewhere - with λ > 0. Find the probability that the patient would die before receiving transplant.
Suppose that the random change in value of a financial asset is X over the first day and Y over the second. Suppose also that Var(X) =18 and Var(Y) = 26 In this case, the total change in the value over these two days is given by X +Y. Do you have enough information to compute Var(X +Y)? If so, compute this value. If not, explain what additional information you need to do so.
