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

Let X be a normal random variable with parameters 渭 = 0 and 蟽2 = 1, and let I, independent of X, be such that P{I = 1} = 1 2 = P{I = 0}. Now define Y by Y = X if I = 1 鈭扻 if I = 0 In words, Y is equally likely to equal either X or
(a) Are X and Y independent?
(b) Are I and Y independent?
(c) Show that Y is normal with mean and variance .
(d) Show that

A coin having probability p of coming up heads is continually flipped until both heads and tails have appeared. Find
(a) the expected number of flips,
(b) the probability that the last flip lands on heads.
A certain region is inhabited by r distinct types of a certain species of insect. Each insect caught will, independently of the types of the previous catches, be of type i with probability
