There are n components lined up in a linear arrangement. Suppose that each component independently functions with probability p. What is the probability that no 2 neighboring components are both nonfunctional?
There are types of coupons. Independently of the types of previously collected coupons, each new coupon collected is of typewith probability , . If n coupons are collected, find the expected number of distinct types that appear in this set. (That is, find the expected number of types of coupons that appear at least once in the set of coupons.)
The random variable X is said to have the Yule-Simons distribution if
(a) Show that the preceding is actually a probability mass function. That is, show that
(b) Show that E[X] = 2.
(c) Show that E[X2] = q
In the game of Two-Finger Morra, players show or fingers and simultaneously guess the number of fingers their opponent will show. If only one of the players guesses correctly, he wins an amount (in dollars) equal to the sum of the fingers shown by him and his opponent. If both players guess correctly or if neither guesses correctly, then no money is exchanged. Consider a specified player, and denote by X the amount of money he wins in a single game of Two-Finger Morra.
(a) If each player acts independently of the other, and if each player makes his choice of the number of fingers he will hold up and the number he will guess that his opponent will hold up in such a way that each of the possibilities is equally likely, what are the possible values of and what are their associated probabilities?
(b) Suppose that each player acts independently of the other. If each player decides to hold up the same number of fingers that he guesses his opponent will hold up, and if each player is equally likely to hold up or fingers, what are the possible values of and their associated probabilities?
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].
