From a set of randomly chosen people, let denote the event that persons and have the same birthday. Assume that each person is equally likely to have any of the 365 days of the year as his or her birthday. Find
(a) ;
(b) ;
(c) .
What can you conclude from your answers to parts (a)-(c) about the independence of the events ?
and will take the same -question examination. Each question will be answered correctly by with probability, independently of her results on other questions. Each question will be answered correctly by B with probability , independently both of her results on the other questions and on the performance of
(a) Find the expected number of questions that are answered correctly by both A and B.(b) Find the variance of the number of questions that are answered correctly by either A or B
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
An urn has n white and m black balls. Balls are randomly withdrawn, without replacement, until a total of white balls have been withdrawn. The random variable equal to the total number of balls that are withdrawn is said to be a negative hypergeometric random variable.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 .
Hint for (b): In order for to happen, what must be the results of the first withdrawals?
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?
