Chapter 4: Q.4.1 (page 169)

There are N distinct types of coupons, and each time one is obtained it will, independently of past choices, be of type i with probability Pi, i = 1, ... , N. Let T denote the number one need select to obtain at least one of each type. Compute P{T = n}.

Short Answer

Expert verified

In the given information the answer isP(T=n)=P(T>n-1)-P(T>n)

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:Given Information

Consider eventAi,which states that we havent picked a coupon of type i in our sample i=1.....N so T>nis equal to the information that is satisfied some of the event Ai.ie,

P(T>n)=P鈭�i=1NAi

02

Calculation

P鈭�i=1NAi=鈭�i1PAi1-鈭�i1<i2PAi1,Ai2+鈭�i1<i2<i3PAi1,Ai2,Ai3

PAi1=1-pi1n

PAi1,Ai2=1-pi1+pi2n

PAi1,Ai2,鈥�,Aij=1-pi1+pi2+鈰�+pijn

The required probability T=n can be obtained asP(T=n)=P(T>n-1)-P(T>n)

03

Step 3:Final Answer

The final answer isP(T=n)=P(T>n-1)-P(T>n)

Two coins are to be 铿俰pped. The 铿乺st coin will land on heads with probability .6, the second with probability .7. Assume that the results of the 铿俰ps are independent, and let X equal the total number of heads that result. (a) Find P{X =1}. (b) Determine E[X].

To determine whether they have a certain disease, 100people are to have their blood tested. However, rather than testing each individual separately, it has been decided first to place the people into groups of 10. The blood samples of the 10people in each group will be pooled and analyzed together. If the test is negative, one test will suffice for the 10people, whereas if the test is positive, each of the 10people will also be individually tested and, in all, 11tests will be made on this group. Assume that the probability that a person has the disease isrole="math" localid="1646542351988" .1 for all people, independently of one another, and compute the expected number of tests necessary for each group. (Note that we are assuming that the pooled test will be positive if at least one person in the pool has the disease.)
