Suppose that A and B each randomly and independently choose3of10objects. Find the expected number of objects

a. Chosen by both A and B;

b. Not chosen by either A or B;

c. Chosen by exactly one of A and B.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The expected number of objects value are,

a. Expected numbers of items chosen by both Aand Bvalue areE(A∩B)=0.9

b. Expected numbers of items not chosen by both Aor Bvalue are EA'∩B'=4.9

c. Expected numbers of items chosen by either value are role="math" localid="1647253518420" E("AorB")=4.2.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information (part a)

The expected number of objects.

Chosen by both A and B.

02

Explanation (part a)

Substitute the A and B,

P(A)=310=0.3

P(B)=310=0.3

PA'=1-P(A)=1-0.3=0.7

PB'=1-P(B)=1-0.3=0.7.

03

Explanation (part a)

Choose Aand B:

P(A∩B)=P(A)P(B)

Multiply the value,

=0.3×0.3

=0.09

n=10items are total.

Expected numbers of items chosen by both AandBis:

E(A∩B)=nP(A∩B)

Substitute the value,

=10×0.09

=0.9.

04

Final answer (part a)

Expected numbers of items chosen by bothAandBE(A∩B)=0.9.

05

Given Information (Part b)

The expected number of objects.

Not chosen by either AandB.

06

Explanation (Part b) 

Substitute the not chosen by either AandB,

PA'=0.7- not choosing an item of A

PB'=0.7- not choosing an item ofB

The probability that neither Aand Bchoses an item is:

PA'∩B'=PA'∩PB'

Substitute the value,

=0.7×0.7

=0.49.

07

Explanation (Part b)

The expected number of items not chosen by AorBis:

EA'∩B'=nPA'∩B'

Multiply the value,

=10×0.49

=4.9

08

Final answer (Part b) 

Expected numbers of items not chosen by bothAandBvalue areEA'∩B'=4.9.

09

Given Information (Part c)

The expected number of objects.

Chosen by exactly one ofAandB.

10

Explanation (Part c)

We choose Aor do not choose B,

Simplify ,

PA∩B'=0.3×0.7

=0.21

Chooses an itemAorBis,

0.21+0.21=0.42.

11

Explanation (Part c)

Expected numbers of items chosen by eitherAorBis:

E("AorB")

Simplify the value,

=10×0.42

=4.2.

12

Final answer (Part c)

Expected numbers of items chosen by either value are E("AorB")=4.2

Consider n independent trials, each resulting in any one ofr possible outcomes with probabilities P1,P2,…,Pr. Let X denote the number of outcomes that never occur in any of the trials. Find E[X] and show that among all probability vectors P1,…,Pr,E[X] is minimized whenPi=1/r,i=1,…,r.

Suppose that Xi,i=1,2,3, are independent Poisson random variables with respective means λi,i=1,2,3. Let X=X1+X2and Y=X2+X3. The random vector X,Y is said to have a bivariate Poisson distribution.
(a) Find E[X]and E[Y].
(b) Find Cov(X,Y).
(c) Find the joint probability mass function P{X=i, Y=j}.

The number of accidents that a person has in a given year is a Poisson random variable with mean λ̣ However, suppose that the value of λchanges from person to person, being equal to 2for 60percent of the population and 3for the other 40percent. If a person is chosen at random, what is the probability that he will have

(a) 0accidents and,

(b) Exactly 3accidents in a certain year? What is the conditional probability that he will have3 accidents in a given year, given that he had no accidents the preceding year?

A fair die is successively rolled. Let X and Y denote, respectively, the number of rolls necessary to obtain a 6 and a 5. Find

(a) E[X];

(b) E[X∣Y=1];

(c) E[X∣Y=5];

A deck of n cards numbered 1 through n is thoroughly shuffled so that all possible n! orderings can be assumed to be equally likely. Suppose you are to make n guesses sequentially, where the ith one is a guess of the card in position i. Let N denote the number of correct guesses.

(a) If you are not given any information about your earlier guesses, show that for any strategy, E[N]=1.

(b) Suppose that after each guess you are shown the card that was in the position in question. What do you think is the best strategy? Show that under this strategy

E[N]=1n+1n−1+⋯+1≈∫1n1xdx=logn

(c) Supposethatyouaretoldaftereachguesswhetheryou are right or wrong. In this case, it can be shown that the strategy that maximizes E[N] is one that keeps on guessing the same card until you are told you are correct and then changes to a new card. For this strategy, show that

E[N]=1+12!+13!+⋯+1n!≈e−1

Hint: For all parts, express N as the sum of indicator (that is, Bernoulli) random variables.
