Suppose that X1, ... , Xn have a multivariate normal distribution. Show that X1, ... , Xn are independent random variables if and only if

CovXi,Xj=0 whenij

Short Answer

Expert verified

It has been shown that X1,......,Xnare independent random variables if CovXi,Xj=0when ij.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given that X1, ... , Xn have a multivariate normal distribution.

CovXi,Xj=0

02

Solution

The calculation is shown below,

Mt1,t2,,tn=expi=1ntii+12i=1nj=1ntitjCovXi,Xj(I)

Case I:

If X1,X2,..Xnare independent then the calculation will be,

Mt1,t2,.tn=MX1t1MX2t2..MXntn

=exp1t1+1212t12exp2t2+1222t22..expntn+12n2tn2..(II)

So from (I) and (II) we can see that both the expressions are equal when X1,X2,.,Xn are independent ifCovXi,Xj=0;ij

03

Solution

Case II:

If CovXi,Xj=0;ij

Then

Mt1,t2,.,tn=expi=1niti+12i=1nti2VarXi

=exp1t1+1212t12exp2t2+1222t22expntn+12n2tn2

X1,X2,Xnare independent Random variable

CovXi,Xj=0鈭赌ij

04

Final answer 

Therefore it has been shown thatX1,,Xnare independent random variables ifCovXi,Xj=0whenij.

LetU1,U2,...be a sequence of independent uniform(0,1)random variables. In Example 5i, we showed that for 0x1,E[N(x)]=ex, where

N(x)=minn:i=1nUi>x

This problem gives another approach to establishing that result.

(a) Show by induction on n that for 0<x10 and all n0

P{N(x)n+1}=xnn!

Hint: First condition onU1and then use the induction hypothesis.

use part (a) to conclude that

E[N(x)]=ex

The game of Clue involves 6 suspects, 6 weapons, and 9 rooms. One of each is randomly chosen and the object of the game is to guess the chosen three.

(a) How many solutions are possible? In one version of the game, the selection is made and then each of the players is randomly given three of the remaining cards. Let S, W, and R be, respectively, the numbers of suspects, weapons, and rooms in the set of three cards given to a specified player. Also, let X denote the number of solutions that are possible after that player observes his or her three cards.

(b) Express X in terms of S, W, and R.

(c) Find E[X]

Suppose that each of the elements of S={1,2,,n}is to be colored either red or blue. Show that if A1,,Arare subsets of S, there is a way of doing the coloring so that at most i=1r(1/2)Ai-1of these subsets have all their elements the same color (where |A|denotes the number of elements in the set A).

Ten hunters are waiting for ducks to fly by. When a flock of ducks flies overhead, the hunters fire at the same time, but each chooses his target at random, independently of the others. If each hunter independently hits his target with probability .6, compute the expected number of ducks that are hit. Assume that the number of ducks in a flock is a Poisson random variable with mean 6.

Consider the following dice game, as played at a certain gambling casino: Players1and 2roll a pair of dice in turn. The bank then rolls the dice to determine the outcome according to the following rule: Playeri,i=1,2,wins if his roll is strictly greater than the banks. Fori=1,2,let

Ii=1鈥呪赌呪赌呪赌ifiwins0鈥呪赌呪赌呪赌otherwise

and show that I1and I2are positively correlated. Explain why this result was to be expected.
