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

Suppose that the expected number of accidents per week at an industrial plant is . Suppose also that the numbers of workers injured in each accident are independent random variables with a common mean of . If the number of workers injured in each accident is independent of the number of accidents that occur, compute the expected number of workers injured in a week .
Suppose that each of the elements of is to be colored either red or blue. Show that if are subsets of , there is a way of doing the coloring so that at most of these subsets have all their elements the same color (where denotes the number of elements in the set ).
