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?

Let be the order statistics of a set of n independent uniform random variables. Find the conditional distribution of given that.
Let W be a gamma random variable with parameters (t, β), and suppose that conditional on W = w, X1, X2, ... , Xn are independent exponential random variables with rate w. Show that the conditional distribution of W given that X1 = x1, X2 = x2, ... , Xn = xn is gamma with parameters t + n, β + n i=1 xi .
Consider independent trials, each of which results in outcome i, i = 0, 1, ... , k, with probability pi, k i=0 pi = 1. Let N denote the number of trials needed to obtain an outcome that is not equal to 0, and let X be that outcome.
(a) Find P{N = n}, n Ú 1.
