(a)

分布关于 0 对称,所以期望为 0。

E(Y)=0.
(b)

思路
展开
F(0)=P(Y⩽0)=q+r+u。总概率给出 2(q+r)+u=1。联立即可求 u。
答题过程
展开
From F(0)=3019,
q+r+u=3019.
Also, the total probability is 1, so
2(q+r)+u=1.
Using q+r=3019−u,
2(3019−u)+u=1.
Hence
3038−u=1,
so
u=308=154.
(c)
解法一
思路
展开
因为 E(Y)=0,所以 Var(Y)=E(Y2)。再与 q+r=3011 联立。

Since
u=154,
we have
q+r=21−u=3011.
Also,
Var(Y)===E(Y2)81q+25r+0u+25r+81q162q+50r.
Given that Var(Y)=37,
162q+50r=37.
Using r=3011−q,
162q+50(3011−q)=37.
So
112q=355.
Therefore
q=61.
Then
r=3011−61=51.

思路

点 P=(12,Y),所以 D=122+Y2。当 Y=0,±5,±9 时,D 分别为 12,13,15。
答题过程
展开
D=122+Y2.
If Y=0,
D=12.
If Y=±5,
D=122+52=13.
If Y=±9,
D=122+92=15.
Therefore the probability distribution of D is
