Suppose that 3balls are chosen without replacement from an urn consisting of 5white and8red balls. Let role="math" localid="1649430608157" Xiequal 1if the ith ball selected is white, and let it equal 0otherwise. Give the joint probability mass function of

(a) X1,X2;

(b)X1,X2,X3 .

Short Answer

a. Probability mass function of X1,X2is 539,1039,1039,1439.

b. Probability mass function of X1,X2,X3is 5143,40429,40429,40429,70429,70429,70429,28143.

Step by step solution

01

Calculation for joint probability mass function (part a)

a.

The first ball selected is white, with a probability of513.

The second picked ball is similarly white, so we now have four white balls in the urn, for a total of twelve balls.

The likelihood is that412.

Hence

PX1=1,X2=1=513×412

=539

To get that, use the same strategy.

localid="1649431448658" PX1=1,X2=0=513×812

=1039

localid="1649431473375" PX1=0,X2=1=813×512

=1039

localid="1649431502228" PX1=0,X2=0=813·712

=1439

02

Calculation for joint probability mass function (part b)

b.

From part a,

PX1=1,X2=1,X3=1=513×412×311

=5143

PX1=0,X2=1,X3=1=813×512×411

=40429

PX1=1,X2=0,X3=1=513×812×411

localid="1649431919032" =40429

localid="1649431941084" PX1=1,X2=1,X3=0=513×412×811

localid="1649432000877" =40429

PX1=0,X2=0,X3=1=813×712×511

role="math" =70429

PX1=0,X2=1,X3=0=813×712×511

role="math" localid="1649432156487" =70429

PX1=1,X2=0,X3=0=813×712×511

=70429

PX1=0,X2=0,X3=0=813×712×611

=28143

Find the conditional distribution of Y, given X = x.

Two dice are rolled. Let X and Y denote, respectively, the largest and smallest values obtained. Compute the conditional mass function of Y given X = i, for i = 1,2,...,6. Are X and Y independent? Why?

Suppose that A, B, C, are independent random variables, each being uniformly distributed over0,1.

If X and Y are independent continuous positive random variables, express the density function of (a) Z = X/Y and (b) Z = XY in terms of the density functions of X and Y. Evaluate the density functions in the special case where X and Y are both exponential random variables

Suppose that n points are independently chosen at random on the circumference of a circle, and we want the probability that they all lie in some semicircle. That is, we want the probability that there is a line passing through the center of the circle such that all the points are on one side of that line, as shown in the following diagram:

Let P1, ... ,Pn denote the n points. Let A denote the event that all the points are contained in some semicircle, and let Ai be the event that all the points lie in the semicircle beginning at the point Pi and going clockwise for 180â—¦, i = 1, ... , n.

(a) Express A in terms of the Ai.

(b) Are the Ai mutually exclusive?

(c) Find P(A).
