Use Table to determine the distribution of when are independent and identically distributed exponential random variables, each having mean.
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 From this urn, 12 balls are randomly withdrawn. Let X denote the number of red and Y the number of blue balls that are withdrawn.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
For a group of 100 people, compute
(a) the expected number of days of the year that are birthdays of exactly 3 people;
(b) the expected number of distinct birthdays.
Suppose that A and B each randomly and independently chooseofobjects. Find the expected number of objects
a. Chosen by both A and B;
b. Not chosen by either A or B;
c. Chosen by exactly one of A and B.
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.
