W~f(w)=λe^(-λw) (w>0)
(N | W) ~ Poisson [W]
i) Find P[N=n] (n=0,1,2...)
ii) Find the conditional pdf of (W | N = n)
iii) Find E[W | N]
iv) Find Var[W | N]
The pdf of W is
The conditional pmf of N|W is
The marginal pmf of N is
. Hence
this is a Negative Binomial distribution
That is the distribution of N is
ii) The conditional pdf is obtained using the formula for conditional probability
this is a gamma distribution. Hence
iii) The expectation of is
The expectation of W|N is
iv) The variance of is
The variance of W|N is
