Let be arbitrary events, and define
{at least of the occur}. Show that
Hint: Let denote the number of the that occur. Show
that both sides of the preceding equation are equal to .
Repeat Problem 7.68 when the proportion of the population having a value of less than is equal to .
The number of accidents that a person has in a given year is a Poisson random variable with mean. However, suppose that the value ofchanges from person to person, being equal to for percent of the population and for the otherpercent. If a person is chosen at random, what is the probability that he will have
a. We are required to find
b. We are required to find .
c. Define as the number of accidents in a preceding year. As likely as we are require to find.
In Example h,say that i and, form a matched pair if i chooses the hat belonging to j and j chooses the hat belonging to i. Find the expected number of matched pairs.
Let Z be a standard normal random variable,and, for a 铿亁ed x, set
Consider the following dice game: A pair of dice is rolled. If the sum isthen the game ends and you win If the sum is not then you have the option of either stopping the game and receiving an amount equal to that sum or starting over again. For each value of find your expected return if you employ the strategy of stopping the first time that a value at least as large as appears. What value ofleads to the largest expected return? Hint: Let denote the return when you use the critical value To compute, condition on the initial sum.
