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{M…x}by conditioning onN.

(b) FindP{M…x|N=1}.

(c) FindP{M…x|N>1}

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

Short Answer

a)P{M≤x}=NF(e)1−(∣P)F(x)

b)P{M≤x∣N=1}=F(x)

c)P{M≤x∣N>1}=F(x)P{M≤x}

d) The probability of part(a)is rederived by using (b) and (c)asP{M≤x}=F(x)p1−(1−p)F(x)

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:Given Information(part a)

Given that the distribution functionF, and suppose they are independent of N, a geometric random variable with parameterp. LetM=max(X1,...,XN).

02

Step 2:Explanation(part a)

Discover by p{M...x}conditioning on N

P{M≤x}=∑n=1∞ P{M≤x∣N=n}P{N=n}

Sn\displaystyle\{sum_\{n=1\}*\{\infty\}$F^{\wedge}\{n\}(x)p(1-p)^{*}\{n-1\}s$

$=∖frac{pF(x)}{1−(1−p)F(x)}$

03

Step 3:Final Answer(part a)

p{M...x}by conditioning onNis

P{M≤x}=∑n=1∞ P{M≤x∣N=n}P{N=n}
04

Step 4:Given Information(part b)

Given that M=max(X1,...,XN)and the parameterp.

05

Step 5:Explanation(part b)

DiscoverP{M≤x∣N=1}

We have

P{M≤x∣N=1}=F(x)
06

Step 6:Final Answer(part b)

P{M≤x∣N=1}=F(x)

07

Step 7:Given Information(part c)

Given thatM≤xandN>1.

08

Step 8:Explanation(part c)

Discover P{M≤x∣N>1}

We have

P{M≤x∣N>1}=F(x)P{M≤x}
09

Step 9:Final Answer(part c)

P{M≤x∣N>1}=F(x)P{M≤x}

10

Step 10:Given Information(part d)

Given thatP{M≤x∣N=1}andP{M≤x∣N>1}.

11

Step 11:Explanation(part d)

P{M≤x}⋅P{M≤x∣N=1}P{N=1}⋅P{M≤x∣N>1}P{N>1}

=F(x)p+F(x)P{M≤x}(1−p)

Hence,

P{M≤x}=F(x)p1−(1−p)F(x)

12

Step 12:Final Answer(part d)

The probability of part(a)is rederived by using (b) and (c)asP{M≤x}=F(x)p1−(1−p)F(x)

7.2. Suppose that Xis a continuous random variable with

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

when ais equal to the median of F.

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.

If X1,X2,…,Xnare independent and identically distributed random variables having uniform distributions over (0,1), find

(a) EmaxX1,…,Xn;

(b) EminX1,…,Xn.

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).

A group of nmen and n women is lined up at random.

(a) Find the expected number of men who have a woman next to them.

(b) Repeat part (a), but now assuming that the group is randomly seated at a round table.

Urn 1contains 5white and 6black balls, while urn 2contains 8white and 10black balls. Two balls are randomly selected from urn 1and are put into urn 2. If 3balls are then randomly selected from urn 2, compute the expected number of white balls in the trio.

Hint: LetXi = 1if the i th white ball initially in urn 1is one of the three selected, and let Xi = 0otherwise. Similarly, let Yi = 1if the i the white ball from urn 2is one of the three selected, and let Yi = 0otherwise. The number of white balls in the trio can now be written as∑15Xi+∑18Yi
