Let X1,X2,…,Xnbe independent random variables having an unknown continuous distribution function Fand let Y1,Y2,…,Ymbe independent random variables having an unknown continuous distribution function G. Now order those n+mvariables, and let

Ii=1 â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…if theith smallest of then+m â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…variables is from theXsample0 â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…otherwise

The random variable R=∑i=1n+miIiis the sum of the ranks of the Xsample and is the basis of a standard statistical procedure (called the Wilcoxon sum-of-ranks test) for testing whether Fand Gare identical distributions. This test accepts the hypothesis that F=Gwhen Ris neither too large nor too small. Assuming that the hypothesis of equality is in fact correct, compute the mean and variance of R.

Hint: Use the results of Example 3e.

Short Answer

The mean of RisE(R)=n(n+m+1)2

The Variance of Ris Var(R)=nm(n+m+1)12

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The independent random variables having an unknown continuous distribution function F=X1,X2,…,Xn

The independent random variables having an unknown continuous distribution function

G=Y1,Y2,…,Ym

Given functionIi=1 â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…if theith smallest of then+m â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…variables is from theXsample0 â¶Ä…â¶Ä…â¶Ä…otherwise

Random variable R=∑i=1n+miIj

The mean and variance ofR=?

02

Explanation

We have the random variable,

R=∑i=1n+miIi

Applying the result of example3e

E(R)=ni¯

And Var(R)=n(n+m-n)n+m-1∑i=1n+mi2n+m-(i¯)2

Now

i¯=1+2+3+…+(n+m)(n+m)

=(n+m)(n+m+1)(n+m)·2

=n+m+12

∑i=1n+mi2=12+22+32+……….+(n+m)2

=(n+m)(n+m+1)(2n+2m+1)6

∴E(R)=n(n+m+1)2

03

Explanation

Calculate the variance,

Var(R)=nmn+m--1(n+m+1)(2n+2m+1)6-(n+m+1)24

=nm(n+m+1)n+m-12n+2m+16-n+m+14

=nm(n+m+1)n+m-14n+4m+2-3n-3m-312

=nm(n+m+1)n+m-1n+m-112

=nm(n+m+1)12

04

Final Answer

The mean value ofRis E(R)=n(n+m+1)2

The variance value of Ris localid="1647511789994" Var(R)=nm(n+m+1)12.

An urn has m black balls. At each stage, a black ball is removed and a new ball that is black with probability p and white with probability 1−p is put in its place. Find the expected number of stages needed until there are no more black balls in the urn. note: The preceding has possible applications to understanding the AIDS disease. Part of the body’s immune system consists of a certain class of cells known as T-cells. There are2 types of T-cells, called CD4 and CD8. Now, while the total number of T-cells in AIDS sufferers is (at least in the early stages of the disease) the same as that in healthy individuals, it has recently been discovered that the mix of CD4 and CD8 T-cells is different. Roughly 60 percent of the T-cells of a healthy person are of the CD4 type, whereas the percentage of the T-cells that are of CD4 type appears to decrease continually in AIDS sufferers. A recent model proposes that the HIV virus (the virus that causes AIDS) attacks CD4 cells and that the body’s mechanism for replacing killed T-cells does not differentiate between whether the killed T-cell was CD4 or CD8. Instead, it just produces a new T-cell that is CD4 with probability .6 and CD8 with probability .4. However, although this would seem to be a very efficient way of replacing killed T-cells when each one killed is equally likely to be any of the body’s T-cells (and thus has probability .6 of being CD4), it has dangerous consequences when facing a virus that targets only the CD4 T-cells

The county hospital is located at the center of a square whose sides are 3 miles wide. If an accident occurs within this square, then the hospital sends out an ambulance. The road network is rectangular, so the travel distance from the hospital, whose coordinates are (0,0), to the point(x,y) is |x|+|y|. If an accident occurs at a point that is uniformly distributed in the square, find the expected travel distance of the ambulance.

N people arrive separately to a professional dinner. Upon arrival, each person looks to see if he or she has any friends among those present. That person then sits either at the table of a friend or at an unoccupied table if none of those present is a friend. Assuming that each of the N2pairs of people is, independently, a pair of friends with probability p, find the expected number of occupied tables.

Hint: Let Xiequal 1or 0, depending on whether theith arrival sits at a previously unoccupied table.
