Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The expected number of cards that need to be turned face up in order to obtain 2 aces is 21.2

b) The expected number of cards that need to be turned face up in order to obtain 5 spades is18.929

c) The expected number of cards that need to be turned face up in order to obtain 13 hearts is49.214

Step by step solution

01

Given Information (Part a)

Cards from an ordinary deck are turned face up one at a time.

The expected number of cards that need to be turned face up in order to obtain 2 aces=?

02

Explanation (Part a) 

Let Xibe the number that need to be turned over before an ithAce card appears.

Let nibe the number of cards of type iof total ofncards.

Here, the number of aces in a deck of cards is,

m=4

The total number of cards in deck of cards is,

n=52

Now, the expected value of ithAcecard is,

EXi=n+1m+1

03

Explanation (Part a) 

The expected number of cards that need to be turned face up in order to obtain 2 aces is,

E(X)=2EXi

=252+14+1

=2535

=1065

=21.2

04

Final Answer (Part a)

The expected number of cards that need to be turned face up in order to obtain 2 aces is, 21.2

05

Given Information (Part b) 

Cards from an ordinary deck are turned face up one at a time.

The expected number of cards that need to be turned face up in order to obtain 5 spades is =?

06

Explanation (Part b)  

Let Xibe the number that need to turn over before athspade appears.

So, the expected value of ithspade appears is,

EXi=52+113+1

=5314

The expected number of cards that need to be turned face up in order to obtain 5 spades is,

E(X)=5EXi

=55314

role="math" localid="1647520376889" =18.92857

=18.929

07

Final Answer (Part b) 

The expected number of cards that need to be turned face up in order to obtain 5 spades is18.929

08

Given Information (Part c) 

Cards from an ordinary deck are turned face up one at a time.

The expected number of cards that need to be turned face up in order to obtain 13 hearts=?

09

Explanation (Part c)  

Let Xibe the number of cards that need to turn over before ithHeart appears.

Let Xbe the number of cards that need be turned face up in order to obtain all 13 Hearts.

So,

X=X1+X2++X13

Let the number of spade cards be m=13

The expected number of cards that need to be turned face up in order to obtain ithheart is,

EXi=n+1m+1

role="math" localid="1647520571977" =52+113+1

=5314

10

Explanation  (Part c) 

The expected number of cards that need to be turned face up in order to obtain 13 hearts is,

E(X)=13EXi

=135314

=68914

localid="1647520773126" =49.21429

=49.214

11

Final Answer (Part c) 

The expected number of cards that need to be turned face up in order to obtain 13 hearts is49.214

Suppose that A and B each randomly and independently choose3of10objects. 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.

Let X1,X2,be a sequence of independent and identically distributed continuous random variables. Let N2be such that

X1X2XN-1<XN

That is, Nis the point at which the sequence stops decreasing. Show that E[N]=e.

Hint: First find P{Nn}.

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?

The number of people who enter an elevator on the ground floor is a Poisson random variable with mean 10. If there are N floors above the ground floor, and if each person is equally likely to get off at any one of theN floors, independently of where the others get off, compute the expected number of stops that the elevator will make before discharging all of its passengers.

Let X1,...be independent random variables with the common distribution functionF, and suppose they are independent of N, a geometric random variable with a parameter p. Let M=max(X1,...,XN).

(a) FindP{Mx}by conditioning onN.

(b) FindP{Mx|N=1}.

(c) FindP{Mx|N>1}

(d) Use (b) and (c) to rederive the probability you found in (a)
