The joint probability mass function of the random variables X, Y, Z is
Find (a) E[XYZ], and (b) E[XY + XZ + YZ].
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).
If X and Y are jointly continuous with joint density function fX,Y(x, y), show that X + Y is continuous with density function
Suppose X and Y are both integer-valued random variables. Let p(i|j) = P(X = i|Y = j) and q(j|i) = P(Y = j|X = i) Show that P(X = i, Y = j) = p(i|j) i p(i|j) q(j|i
If X and Y are independent binomial random variables with identical parameters n and p, show analytically that the conditional distribution of X given that X + Y = m is the hypergeometric distribution. Also, give a second argument that yields the same result without any computations. Hint: Suppose that 2n coins are flipped. Let X denote the number of heads in the first n flips and Y the number in the second n flips. Argue that given a total of m heads, the number of heads in the first n flips has the same distribution as the number of white balls selected when a sample of size m is chosen from n white and n black balls
