A box contains 5red and 5blue marbles. Two marbles are withdrawn randomly. If they are the same color, then you win \(1.10; if they are different colors, then you win -\)1.00. (That is, you lose $1.00.) Calculate

(a) the expected value of the amount you win;

(b) the variance of the amount you win.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The expected value of the amount you win will be -0.0667.

(b) The variance of the amount you win will be1.089.

Step by step solution

01

Given information (Part a)

A box contains 5red and 5blue marbles. Two marbles are withdrawn randomly. If they are the same color, then you win $1.10; if they are different colors, then you win$1.00.

02

Solution (Part b)

Let,

x=1.1

p(1.1)=52102+52102

So,P(1.1)is the probability that either both are red or both are blue =49

X=1.0

p(1.0)=5151102

=59

E(X)=1.1491.059

=0.0667

03

Final answer (Part a)

The expected value of the amount you win will be0.0667

04

Given information (Part b)

A box contains 5red and 5blue marbles. Two marbles are withdrawn randomly. If they are the same color, then you win $1.10; if they are different colors, then you win-$1.00

05

Solution (Part b)

Let the calculation will be,

EX2=(1.1)249+(1)259

=0.537778+0.555556

=1.0933

Var(x)=EX2[E(X)]2

=1.0933(0.0667)2

=1.089

06

Final answer (Part b)

The variance of the amount you win will be 1.089.

An urn has n white and m black balls. Balls are randomly withdrawn, without replacement, until a total of k,knwhite balls have been withdrawn. The random variable Xequal to the total number of balls that are withdrawn is said to be a negative hypergeometric random variable.

(a) Explain how such a random variable differs from a negative binomial random variable.

(b) Find P{X=r}.

Hint for (b): In order for X=r to happen, what must be the results of the firstr1 withdrawals?

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].

In some military courts, 9judges are appointed. However, both the prosecution and the defense attorneys are entitled to a peremptory challenge of any judge, in which case that judge is removed from the case and is not replaced. A defendant is declared guilty if the majority of judges cast votes of guilty, and he or she is declared innocent otherwise. Suppose that when the defendant is, in fact, guilty, each judge will (independently) vote guilty with probability .7,whereas when the defendant is, in fact, innocent, this probability drops to .3.

(a) What is the probability that a guilty defendant is declared guilty when there are (i) 9, (ii) 8, and (iii) 7judges?

(b) Repeat part (a) for an innocent defendant.

(c) If the prosecuting attorney does not exercise the right to a peremptory challenge of a judge, and if the defense is limited to at most two such challenges, how many challenges should the defense attorney make if he or she is 60percent certain that the client is guilty?

A purchaser of transistors buys them in lots of 20. It is his policy to randomly inspect 4 components from a lot and to accept the lot only if all 4 are nondefective. If each component in a lot is, independently, defective with probability .1, what proportion of lots is rejected?
