Assume that when the German plays Hungary in soccer, each team scores independently as a homogeneous Poisson process with rates $\lambda (\text{Germany}) = 1$ and $\lambda(\text{Hungary}) = 3$ goals per game.

a) Expected number of total goals in a single game.

b) Expected number of total goals scored in the first half, given that $2$ total goals were scored in the entire game.

c) Expected number of goals Germany scored in the entire game, given that $2$ total goals were scored in the first half.

What I really need help with is getting the formulas for parts b & c. I'm having difficulty forming what the Expectation formula should be.

    For part b, there are only three possibilities: (0,2), (1,1), or (2,0). Can you find the probability of each? – soakley Feb 16 '14 at 03:37
