A ball is drawn from an urn containing white and black balls. After the ball is drawn, it is replaced and another ball is drawn. This process goes on indefinitely. What is the probability that the first balls drawn, exactly are white?
Consider n independent trials, each of which results in one of the outcomes with respective probabilities Show that if all the are small, then the probability that no trial outcome occurs more than once is approximately equal to.
Let X be a binomial random variable with parameters (n, p). What value of p maximizes P{X = k}, k = 0, 1, ... , n? This is an example of a statistical method used to estimate p when a binomial (n, p) random variable is observed to equal k. If we assume that n is known, then we estimate p by choosing that value of p that maximizes P{X = k}. This is known as the method of maximum likelihood estimation.
Suppose in Problem 4.72 that the two teams are evenly matched and each has probability 1 2 of winning each game. Find the expected number of games played.
A communications channel transmits the digits and However, due to static, the digit transmitted is incorrectly received with probability Suppose that we want to transmit an important message consisting of one binary digit. To reduce the chance of error, we transmit instead of and 11111 instead of If the receiver of the message uses 鈥渕ajority鈥 decoding, what is the probability that the message will be wrong when decoded? What independence assumptions are you making?
