Let X1, X2, X3, X4, X5 be independent continuous random variables having a common distribution function F and density function f, and set I = P{X1 < X2 < X3 < X4 < X5}
(a) Show that I does not depend on F. Hint: Write I as a five-dimensional integral and make the change of variables ui = F(xi), i = 1, ... , 5.
(b) Evaluate I.
(c) Give an intuitive explanation for your answer to (b).
The time that it takes to service a car is an exponential random variable with rate .
(a) If A. J. brings his car in at timeand M. J. brings her car in at time t, what is the probability that M. J.’s car is ready before A. J.’s car? (Assume that service times are independent and service begins upon arrival of the car.)
(b) If both cars are brought in at time 0, with work starting on M. J.’s car only when A. J.’s car has been completely serviced, what is the probability that M. J.’s car is ready before time ?
The joint probability density function of X and Y is given by
(a) Verify that this is indeed a joint density function.
(b) Compute the density function of X.
(c) Find P{X > Y}.
(d) Find P{Y > 1 2 |X < 1 2 }.
(e) Find E[X].
(f) Find E[Y].
A model proposed for NBA basketball supposes that when two teams with roughly the same record play each other, the number of points scored in a quarter by the home team minus the number scored by the visiting team is approximately a normal random variable with mean 1.5 and variance 6. In addition, the model supposes that the point differentials for the four quarters are independent. Assume that this model is correct.
(a) What is the probability that the home team wins?
(b) What is the conditional probability that the home team wins, given that it is behind by 5 points at halftime?
(c) What is the conditional probability that the home team wins, given that it is ahead by 5 points at the end of the first quarter?
