The nine players on a basketball team consist of 2centers, 3forwards, and 4 backcourt players. If the players are paired up at random into three groups of size 3 each, 铿乶d (a) the expected value and (b) the variance of the number of triplets consisting of one of each type of player.

Short Answer

Expert verified

From the given information the expected value and the variance of the number of triplets consisting of one each type of player will be

a)Expected value isE[i=13Xi]=67.b) Variance,Var(i=13Xi)=0.6367

Step by step solution

01

Given Information (part a)

Find the expected value if the nine players on a basketball team consisting of 2centers, 3forwards, and 4 backcourt players. If the players are paired up at random into three groups of size 3 each

02

Explanation (part a)

Expected value is

E[i=13Xi]=i=13E[Xi]

=27+27+27

=67

Therefore,E[i=13Xi]=67

03

Final Answer (part a)

The expected value is67

04

Given Information (part b)

The variance of the number of triplets consisting of one of each type of player.

05

Explanation (part b)

Now variance is,

Var(Xi)=(27)(127)

=1049

Now, forij, the value ofE(Xi,Xj)is,

E(Xi,Xj)=P[Xi=1,Xj=1]

=P[Xi=1]P[Xj=1Xi=1]

=(21)(31)(41)(93)(11)(21)(31)(63)

=670

Find the variance of the number of triplets consisting of one of each type of player.

Therefore, the variance of x, is

Var(i=13Xi)=i=13(Xi)+2j=1Cov(Xi,Xj)

=(1049)3+2(32)(6702272)

=3049+6(670449)

=0.6367

Therefore,Var(i=13Xi)=0.6367

06

: Final Answer (part b)

The variance of the number of triplets consisting of one of each type of player. is=0.6367

The number of accidents that a person has in a given year is a Poisson random variable with mean 蹋 However, suppose that the value of changes from person to person, being equal to 2for 60percent of the population and 3for the other 40percent. If a person is chosen at random, what is the probability that he will have

(a) 0accidents and,

(b) Exactly 3accidents in a certain year? What is the conditional probability that he will have3 accidents in a given year, given that he had no accidents the preceding year?

A deck of n cards numbered 1 through n is thoroughly shuf铿俥d 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

E[N]=1n+1n1++11n1xdx=logn

(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

E[N]=1+12!+13!++1n!e1

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

A certain region is inhabited by r distinct types of a certain species of insect. Each insect caught will, independently of the types of the previous catches, be of type i with probability

Pi,i=1,,r1rPi=1

(a) Compute the mean number of insects that are caught before the 铿乺st type 1catch.

(b) Compute the mean number of types of insects that are caught before the 铿乺st type1 catch.

Suppose that each of the elements of S={1,2,,n}is to be colored either red or blue. Show that if A1,,Arare subsets of S, there is a way of doing the coloring so that at most i=1r(1/2)Ai-1of these subsets have all their elements the same color (where |A|denotes the number of elements in the set A).
