Let be the number of and the number of that occur in rolls of a fair die. Compute .
Suppose that and are independent random variables having a common mean . Suppose also that and . The value of is unknown, and it is proposed that be estimated by a weighted average of and . That is, will be used as an estimate of for some appropriate value of . Which value of yields the estimate having the lowest possible variance? Explain why it is desirable to use this value of

Let Z be a standard normal random variable,and, for a 铿亁ed x, set
There are n items in a box labeled H and m in a box labeled T. A coin that comes up heads with probability p and tails with probability 1 鈭 p is flipped. Each time it comes up heads, an item is removed from the H box, and each time it comes up tails, an item is removed from the T box. (If a box is empty and its outcome occurs, then no items are removed.) Find the expected number of coin flips needed for both boxes to become empty. Hint: Condition on the number of heads in the first n + m flips.
