Let Z be a standard normal random variable Z, and let g be a differentiable function with derivative g'.
(a) Show that E[g'(Z)]=E[Zg(Z)];
(b) Show that E[Zn+]=nE[Zn-].
(c) Find E[Z].
(a) A fire station is to be located along a road of length . If fires occur at points uniformly chosen on localid="1646880402145" , where should the station be located so as to minimize the expected distance from the fire? That is,
choose a so as to minimize localid="1646880570154" when X is uniformly distributed over .
(b) Now suppose that the road is of infinite length鈥 stretching from point outward to . If the distance of a fire from point is exponentially distributed with rate , where should the fire station now be located? That is, we want to minimize , where X is now exponential with rate .
For any real number , define by
Let be a constant.
(a) Show that
when is a standard normal random variable.
(b) Find when is normal with mean and variance .
In independent tosses of a coin, the coin landed on heads times. Is it reasonable to assume that the coin is not fair? Explain.
An image is partitioned into two regions, one white and the other black. A reading taken from a randomly chosen point in the white section will be normally distributed with and , whereas one taken from a randomly chosen point in the black region will have a normally distributed reading with parameters . A point is randomly chosen on the image and has a reading of . If the fraction of the image that is black is , for what value of would the probability of making an error be the same, regardless of whether one concluded that the point was in the black region or in the white region?
