A fair die is rolled times. Calculate the expected sum of the rolls.
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 m.
(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?
The joint density function ofandis given by
Find and show that
Let be independent random variables having an unknown continuous distribution function and let be independent random variables having an unknown continuous distribution function . Now order those variables, and let
The random variable is the sum of the ranks of the sample and is the basis of a standard statistical procedure (called the Wilcoxon sum-of-ranks test) for testing whether and are identical distributions. This test accepts the hypothesis that when is neither too large nor too small. Assuming that the hypothesis of equality is in fact correct, compute the mean and variance of .
Hint: Use the results of Example 3e.
Suppose that , are independent Poisson random variables with respective means . Let and . The random vector is said to have a bivariate Poisson distribution.
