Consider n independent sequential trials, each of which is successful with probability p. If there is a total of k successes, show that each of the n!/[k!(n − k)!] possible arrangements of the k successes and n − k failures is equally likely.
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].
Repeat Example when the balls are selected with replacement.
