Chapter 4: Q.4.5 (page 163)

Let X represent the difference between the number of heads and the number of tails obtained when a coin is tossed n times. What are the possible values of X?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Possible values of X can be described by:

{n-2t鈭�t鈭�{0,1,鈥�,n}}

Step by step solution

01

Step1:Given Information

X - It is the difference between the number of heads and the number of tails.

02

Step2:Explanation

Possible outcomes of X, when a coin is tossed n times are:

If the number of tails is t, then the number of heads(h) is n-t.

h=n-t

Therefore X can be written as:

X=h-t=n-t-t=n-2t

All possible outcomes of X can be described as below:

{n-2t鈭�t鈭�{0,1,鈥�,n}}

03

Step3: Final Result

Possible values of X are given below: {n-2t鈭�t鈭�{0,1,鈥�,n}}

Suppose that a die is rolled twice. What are the possible values that the following random variables can take on:

(a) the maximum value to appear in the two rolls;

(b) the minimum value to appear in the two rolls;

(c) the sum of the two rolls;

(d) the value of the first roll minus the value of the second roll?

A satellite system consists ofn components and functions on any given day if at least k of the n components function on that day. On a rainy day, each of the components independently functions with probability p1, whereas, on a dry day, each independently functions with probability p2. If the probability of rain tomorrow is what is the probability that the satellite system will function?

In response to an attack of 10missiles, 500 antiballistic missiles are launched. The missile targets of the antiballistic missiles are independent, and each antiballstic missile is equally likely to go towards any of the target missiles. If each antiballistic missile independently hits its target with probability .1, use the Poisson paradigm to approximate the probability that all missiles are hit.
