Chapter 7: Q 7.32 (page 361)
For an event A, let IA equal 1 if A occurs and let it equal 0 if A does not occur. For a random variable X, show that E[X|A] = E[XIA] P(A
Short Answer
With the help of Lebesgue induction, we can prove this

Ten hunters are waiting for ducks to fly by. When a flock of ducks flies overhead, the hunters fire at the same time, but each chooses his target at random, independently of the others. If each hunter independently hits his target with probability ., compute the expected number of ducks that are hit. Assume that the number of ducks in a flock is a Poisson random variable with mean .
7.4. If X and Y have joint density function find
(a) E[X Y]
(b) E[X]
(c) E[Y]
The random variables X and Y have a joint density function is given by
Compute
A population is made up of disjoint subgroups. Let denote the proportion of the population that is in subgroup . If the average weight of the members of subgroup is , what is the average weight of the members of the population?
We say that is stochastically larger than , written , if, for all ,
Show that if then when
(a) and are nonnegative random variables;
(b) and are arbitrary random variables. Hint:
Write as
where
Similarly, represent as . Then make use of part (a).
