116. Solution: D<br />

Denote the number of tornadoes in counties P and Q by NP and NQ,<br />

respectively. Then<br />

E[NQ|N P = 0]<br />

= [(0)(0.12) + (1)(0.06) + (2)(0.05) + 3(0.02)] / [0.12 + 0.06 + 0.05 + 0.02] = 0.88<br />

E[NQ 2 |N P = 0]<br />

2<br />

= [(0) (0.12) + (1) 2 (0.06) + (2) 2 (0.05) + (3) 2 (0.02)] / [0.12 + 0.06 + 0.05 + 0.02]<br />

2<br />

= 1.76 and Var[NQ|NP = 0] = E[NQ |NP = 0] – {E[NQ|NP = 0]} 2 = 1.76 – (0.88) 2<br />

= 0.9856 .<br />
