Let be the value of the first die and the sum of the values when two dice are rolled. Compute the joint moment generating function of and .
The county hospital is located at the center of a square whose sides are miles wide. If an accident occurs within this square, then the hospital sends out an ambulance. The road network is rectangular, so the travel distance from the hospital, whose coordinates are , to the point is . If an accident occurs at a point that is uniformly distributed in the square, find the expected travel distance of the ambulance.
N people arrive separately to a professional dinner. Upon arrival, each person looks to see if he or she has any friends among those present. That person then sits either at the table of a friend or at an unoccupied table if none of those present is a friend. Assuming that each of the pairs of people is, independently, a pair of friends with probability p, find the expected number of occupied tables.
Hint: Let equal or , depending on whether theth arrival sits at a previously unoccupied table.
A group of 20 people consisting of 10 men and 10 women is randomly arranged into 10 pairs of 2 each. Compute the expectation and variance of the number of pairs that consist of a man and a woman. Now suppose the 20 people consist of 10 married couples. Compute the mean and variance of the number of married couples that are paired together.
An urn contains balls, of whichare 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 From this urn, 12 balls are randomly withdrawn. Let X denote the number of red and Y the number of blue balls that are withdrawn.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
such that
(b) by conditioning (on either X or Y) to determine
