Suppose that the expected number of accidents per week at an industrial plant is . Suppose also that the numbers of workers injured in each accident are independent random variables with a common mean of . If the number of workers injured in each accident is independent of the number of accidents that occur, compute the expected number of workers injured in a week .
If items are distributed among boxes, then at least one of the boxes must contain more than items. Use the probabilistic method to prove this result.
Consider a graph having vertices labeled, and suppose that, between each of the pairs of distinct vertices, an edge is independently present with probability . The degree of a vertex, designated asis the number of edges that have vertex as one of their vertices.
