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

7.2. Suppose that Xis a continuous random variable with

density function f. Show that E[IX-a]is minimized

Hint: Write

E[IX-al]=|x-a|f(x)dx

Now break up the integral into the regions where x<a

and where x>a, and differentiate.

Consider a population consisting of individuals able to produce offspring of the same kind. Suppose that by the end of its lifetime, each individual will have produced j new offspring with probability Pj, j0, independently of the number produced by any other individual. The number of individuals initially present, denoted by X0, is called the size of the zeroth generation. All offspring of the zeroth generation constitute the first generation, and their number is denoted by X1. In general, let Xn denote the size of the nth generation. Let =j=0jPjand 2=j=0(j)2Pj denote, respectively, the mean and the variance of the number of offspring produced by a single individual. Suppose that X0 = 1鈥 that is, initially there is a single individual in the population

(a) Show that EXn=EXn1.

(b) Use part (a) to conclude that EXn=n

The model just described is known as a branching process, and an important question for a population that evolves along such lines is the probability that the population will eventually die out. Let 蟺 denote this probability when the population starts with a single individual. That is,

=P{population eventually dies outX0=1

(e) Argue that 蟺 satisfies

=j=0Pjj

Consider a gambler who, at each gamble, either wins or loses her bet with respective probabilities pand 1-p. A popular gambling system known as the Kelley strategy is to always bet the fraction 2p-1of your current fortune when p>12. Compute the expected fortune afterngambles of a gambler who starts with xunits and employs the Kelley strategy.

Consider 3 trials, each having the same probability of success. Let Xdenote the total number of successes in these trials. If E[X]=1.8, what is
