Let the independent random variables X_1 and X_2 have binomial distribution with parameters n_1 =3,p=2/3 and n_2 =4 p=1/2 respectively. Compute P(X_1 =X_2 )

• P(X_1 =k) = C_k ^n_1 p_1 ^k (1−p_1 )^(n_1 −k) P(X_1 =k) = C_k ^3 ((2/3))^k ((1/3))^(3−k) = (1/(27))C_k ^3 2^k • P(X_2 =k) = C_k ^n_2 p_2 ^k (1−p_2 )^(n_2 −k) P(X_2 =k) = C_k ^4 ((1/2))^k ((1/2))^(4−k) = (1/(16))C_k ^4 • P(X_1 =X_2 ) = P(X_1 =0)P(X_2 =0) +P(X_1 =1)P(X_2 =1) +P(X_1 =2)P(X_2 =2) +P(X_1 =3)P(X_2 =3) = ((C_0 ^3 2^0 C_0 ^4 +C_1 ^3 2^1 C_1 ^4 +C_2 ^3 2^2 C_2 ^4 +C_3 ^3 2^3 C_3 ^4 )/(27.16)) = ((1+24+72+32)/(432)) = ((43)/(144)) ≈ 29,9%.
