Let N be a geometric random variable with parameter p. Suppose that the conditional distribution of X given that N = n is the gamma distribution with parameters n and 位. Find the conditional probability mass function of N given that X = x.

Short Answer

Conditional probability mass function isf(NX=x)=limn[ln(q)+ln(x)+ln()]xx-1;x>1

Step by step solution

Step 1:To find

The conditional probability mass function.

Explanation 

It is given thatN~geometric(p)

f(N=n)=qnp

The conditional distribution function of X is f{XN=n}~Gammadistribution(n,)

This implies

f{XN=n}=nxn-1e-xn;x>0

It is required to findf{NX=x}

Therefore, this can be obtained with f(NX=x)=f(NX)f(X)

Now find f(NX)

f(NX)=f(XN=n)f(N)=nxn1exnqnp

To find the value of f(X=x)

f(X=x)=0f(XN=n)f(N)f(X=x)=0nxn1exnqnpf(X=x)=Limn(nxn1qqnexexx1ln(q)+ln(x)+ln())expxn(using Maple software)

On simplification

f(X=x)=Limnnxn1qnx1ln(q)+ln(x)+ln()expxn

Now the conditional probability mass functionf{NX=x}

f(NX=x)=f(NX)f(X)=2鈥测赌q鈥测赌hg辫谈[ln(q)+ln(x)+ln()]x丑谈2nx鈥测赌gx1g鈥测赌辫谈=limn[ln(q)+ln(x)+ln()]xx1;x>1

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?

Consider two components and three types of shocks. A type 1 shock causes component 1 to fail, a type 2 shock causes component 2 to fail, and a type 3 shock causes both components 1 and 2 to fail. The times until shocks 1, 2, and 3 occur are independent exponential random variables with respective rates 位1, 位2, and 位3. Let Xi denote the time at which component i fails, i = 1, 2. The random variables X1, X2 are said to have a joint bivariate exponential distribution. FindP[X1>s,X2>t]

A man and a woman agree to meet at a certain location about 12:30 p.m. If the man arrives at a time uniformly distributed between 12:15 and 12:45, and if the woman independently arrives at a time uniformly distributed between 12:00 and 1 p.m., find the probability that the first to arrive waits no longer than 5 minutes. What is the probability that the man arrives first?

The joint probability mass function of X and Y is given by

p(1,1)=18p(1,2)=14p(2,1)=18p(2,2)=12

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).
