Urn 1contains 5white and 6black balls, while urn 2contains 8white and 10black balls. Two balls are randomly selected from urn 1and are put into urn 2. If 3balls are then randomly selected from urn 2, compute the expected number of white balls in the trio.

Hint: LetXi = 1if the i th white ball initially in urn 1is one of the three selected, and let Xi = 0otherwise. Similarly, let Yi = 1if the i the white ball from urn 2is one of the three selected, and let Yi = 0otherwise. The number of white balls in the trio can now be written as15Xi+18Yi

Short Answer

Expert verified

The total number of chosen white balls is,

N=i=15Xi+i=18Yi
E(N) =147110

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

No.of balls in urn 1are White balls and 6Black ball. No. of balls in urn 2are 8White balls and 10Black balls. LetXi = 1if the i th white ball initially in urn 1is one of the three selected, and let Xi = 0otherwise. Similarly,letYi =1if the i th white ball from urn 2is one of the three selected, and let Yi = 0otherwise. The number of white balls in the trio can now be written as15Xi+18Yi

02

Explanation

Define indicator random variables Xi that are equal to 1if and only if i th white ball from the urn 1 has been chosen in the trio, i=1, ..., 5. Similarly, define indicator random variables Yi that are equal to 1 if and only if i th white ball from the urn 2has been chosen in the trio, i=1, ..., 8. The total number of chosen white balls is

N=i=15Xi+i=18Yi

and using the linearity of the expectation, we have that

E(N)=i=15E(Xi)+i=18E(Yi)

03

Explanation

The probability that a certain White ball from urn 1is contained in the trio is equal to

E(Xi)=P(Xi=1)=211320

The probability that a certain White ball from urn 2is contained in the trio is equal to

E(Yi)=P(Yi=1)=320

Therefore

E(N)=5211320+8320=147110

04

Final Answer

The total number of chosen white balls is,

E(N)=i=15E(Xi)+i=18E(Yi)

E(N) =147110

A bottle initially contains m large pills and n small pills. Each day, a patient randomly chooses one of the pills. If a small pill is chosen, then that pill is eaten. If a large pill is chosen, then the pill is broken in two; one part is returned to the bottle (and is now considered a small pill) and the other part is then eaten.

(a) Let X denote the number of small pills in the bottle after the last large pill has been chosen and its smaller half returned. Find E[X].

Hint: De铿乶e n + m indicator variables, one for each of the small pills initially present and one for each of the small pills created when a large one is split in two. Now use the argument of Example 2m.

(b) Let Y denote the day on which the last large pills chosen. Find E[Y].

Hint: What is the relationship between X and Y?

An urn contains 30balls, of which10are red and 8 are blue. From this urn, 12 balls are randomly withdrawn. Let X denote the number of red and Y the number of blue balls that are withdrawn. Find Cov(X, Y)

(a) by defining appropriate indicator (that is, Bernoulli) random variables

Xi,Yjsuch that X=i=110Xi,Y=j=18Yj

(b) by conditioning (on either X or Y) to determineE[XY]

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 total of n balls, numbered 1through n, are put into n urns, also numbered 1through nin such a way that ball iis equally likely to go into any of the urns 1,2,..i.

Find (a) the expected number of urns that are empty.

(b) the probability that none of the urns is empty.

Suppose that the expected number of accidents per week at an industrial plant is 5. Suppose also that the numbers of workers injured in each accident are independent random variables with a common mean of 2.5. 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 .
