Cards from an ordinary deck of playing cards are turned face upon at a time. If the 1st card is an ace, or the nd a deuce, or the rd a three, or ...,or the th a king,or the an ace, and so on, we say that a match occurs. Note that we do not require that the (n + ) card be any particular ace for a match to occur but only that it be an ace. Compute the expected number of matches that occur.
The game of Clue involves 6 suspects, 6 weapons, and 9 rooms. One of each is randomly chosen and the object of the game is to guess the chosen three.
(a) How many solutions are possible? In one version of the game, the selection is made and then each of the players is randomly given three of the remaining cards. Let S, W, and R be, respectively, the numbers of suspects, weapons, and rooms in the set of three cards given to a specified player. Also, let X denote the number of solutions that are possible after that player observes his or her three cards.
(b) Express X in terms of S, W, and R.
(c) Find E[X]
7.2. Suppose that is a continuous random variable with
density function . Show that is minimized
when is equal to the median of .
Hint: Write
Now break up the integral into the regions where
and where , and differentiate.
The positive random variable is said to be a lognormal random variable with parameters and if is a normal random variable with mean and variance role="math" localid="1647407606488" . Use the normal moment generating function to find the mean and variance of a lognormal random variable
