If 10 married couples are randomly seated at a round table, compute
(a) The expected number and
(b) The variance of the number of wives who are seated next to their husbands.
Let have moment generating function , and define. Show that.
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.
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.
Consider independent flips of a coin having probability of landing on heads. Say that a changeover occurs whenever an outcome differs from the one preceding it. For instance, if and the outcome is, then there are changeovers. Find the expected number of changeovers. Hint: Express the number of changeovers as the sum of Bernoulli random variables.
