A total of 2npeople, consisting of nmarried couples, are randomly divided into npairs. Arbitrarily number the women, and let Widenote the event that woman iis paired with her husband.

  1. FindP(Wi).
  2. For ij,find role="math" localid="1646662043709" PWiWj.
  3. When nis large, approximate the probability that no wife is paired with her husband.
  4. If each pairing must consist of a man and a woman, what does the problem reduce to?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. P(Wi)=12n-1
  2. PWiWj=12n-3
  3. The probability is e(0.5)
  4. If the pairing must consist of a men and women, then this experiment reduces to match problem.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information (part a)

Total people 2non that nare couples.

They are randomly divided into npairs.

Here, Wiis the event and ithwoman paired with her husband.

02

Explanation (Part a)

Number of ways to ith woman can paired with others =2n-1

Number of ways to ithwoman can paired with her husband =1

woman iis ready to pair with any of the remaining "2n-1"people.

So the probability to pair with her husband isPWi=12n1

03

 Final answer (part a)

PWi=12n1

04

Given Information (Part b)

Total people 2non that nare couples.

They are randomly divided into npairs.

Here,Wiis the event.

05

Explanation (Part b)

In this case, we will see the probability of ith woman to pair with her husband.

But, iis likely to be pair with any people.

That means,2n3

Number of ways ith woman to pair with her husband is :1

Hence, the probability will bePWiWj=12n3

06

Final Answer (Part b)

PWiWj=12n3

07

Given Information (Part c)

Total people 2non that role="math" localid="1646663902940" nare couples.

They are randomly divided into npairs.

Here, Wiis the event.

08

Explanation (Part c)

For large sample size n

It becomes Poisson distribution with mean equal to the probability that no couple is paired together.

If nis large then the possibility to pair with their husbands will approximately be Poisson with the following mean

=i=1nPwi

=n2n1

=12

probability that no wife is paired with their husband is:

pwi=0=e00!

=e(12)1201

=e(1/2)

Therefore, the probability ise(0.5)

09

Final Answer 

The probability ise(0.5)

10

Given Information (Part d)

Total people 2non that nare couples.

They are randomly divided into npairs.

Here,Wi is the event.

11

Explanation (Part d)

If the pairing must consist of a men and women, then this experiment reduces to match problem.

12

Final Answer (Part b)

The experiment reduces to match problem.

Suppose that a die is rolled twice. What are the possible values that the following random variables can take on:

(a) the maximum value to appear in the two rolls;

(b) the minimum value to appear in the two rolls;

(c) the sum of the two rolls;

(d) the value of the first roll minus the value of the second roll?

Let X represent the difference between the number of heads and the number of tails obtained when a coin is tossed n times. What are the possible values of X?

Four buses carrying 148 students from the same school arrive at a football stadium. The buses carry, respectively, 40, 33, 25, and 50 students. One of the students is randomly selected. Let X denote the number of students who were on the bus carrying the randomly selected student. One of the 4 bus drivers is also randomly selected. Let Y denote the number of students on her bus.

(a) Which of E[X] or E[Y] do you think is larger? Why?

(b) Compute E[X] and E[Y].

One of the numbers 1through 10is randomly chosen. You are to try to guess the number chosen by asking questions with 鈥測es-no鈥 answers. Compute the expected number of questions you will need to ask in each of the following two cases:

(a) Your ith question is to be 鈥淚s it i?鈥 i = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. (b) With each question, you try to eliminate one-half of the remaining numbers, as nearly as possible.

Five distinct numbers are randomly distributed to players numbered1through 5. Whenever two players compare their numbers, the one with the higher one is declared the winner. Initially, players1and 2 compare their numbers; the winner then compares her number with that of player 3, and so on. Let X denote the number of times player 1 is a winner. FindPX=i,i=0,1,2,3,4.
