Suppose that 10balls are put into 5boxes, with each ball independently being put in box iwith probability pi,i=15pi=1

(a) Find the expected number of boxes that do not have any balls.

(b) Find the expected number of boxes that have exactly 1ball.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The expected number of boxes that do not have any balls isi=151-pi10

(b) The expected number of boxes that have exactly 1 ball isi=1510pi1-pi9

Step by step solution

01

Given information(part a)

Given in the question that, Suppose that 10balls are put into 5boxes, with each ball independently being put in box iwith probability pi,i=15pi=1.

02

Step 2:Explanation (Part a)

Given:

10balls are put into 5boxes independently

Probability of a ball being placed in box iis pi.

i=15pi=1

The number of successes among a selected number of independent trials with a persistent probability of success observes a binomial distribution. Definition binomial probability:

P(X=k)=nkpk(1-p)n-k=n!k!(n-k)!pk(1-p)n-k

Let us evaluate the definition of binomial probability at n=10,p=piand k=0:

P(box iis empty )=P(X=0)

=100pi01-pi10-0

=111-pi10

=1-pi10

The expected value (or mean) is the sum of the product of each possibility x(number of boxes) with its probability P(x).

E(empty boxes )=xP(x)

=i=1511-pi10

=i=151-pi10

03

Final answer (Part a)

The expected number of boxes that do not have any balls isi=151pi10

04

Given information(part b)

Suppose that10balls are put into 5 boxes, with each ball independently being put in boxi with probabilitypi,i=15pi=1

05

Step 5:  Explanation (Part b)

Now we define the indicator random variable

Ii=1鈥呪赌呪赌呪赌;1thbox has one ball0鈥呪赌呪赌呪赌;otherwise

Now the indicator random variable follows a binomial distribution

PIi=1=101pi11pi9

Now, the number of boxes contains one ball is given by i=15Ii

Expected number of boxes that have exactly 1 ball =Ei=15Ii

=i=15EIi

=i=15101pi11pi9

06

Step 6:Final answer

Expected number of boxes that have exactly 1 ball isi=15101pi11pi9

If X has distribution function F, what is the distribution function of eX?

A student is getting ready to take an important oral examination and is concerned about the possibility of having an 鈥渙n鈥 day or an 鈥渙ff鈥 day. He figures that if he has an on the day, then each of his examiners will pass him, independently of one another, with probability8, whereas if he has an off day, this probability will be reduced to4. Suppose that the student will pass the examination if a majority of the examiners pass him. If the student believes that he is twice as likely to have an off day as he is to have an on the day, should he request an examination with3examiners or with5examiners?

An urn initially contains one red and one blue ball. At each stage, a ball is randomly chosen and then replaced along with another of the same color. Let X denote the selection number of the 铿乺st chosen ball that is blue. For instance, if the 铿乺st selection is red and the second blue, then X is equal to 2.

  • (a) Find P{X>i},i1
  • (b) Show that with probabilityrole="math" 1, a blue ball is eventually chosen. (That is, show thatP{X<}=1.)
  • (c) FindE[X].

An interviewer is given a list of people she can interview. If the interviewer needs to interview 5 people, and if each person (independently) agrees to be interviewed with probability 2 3 , what is the probability that her list of people will enable her to obtain her necessary number of interviews if the list consists of

(a) 5 people and

(b) 8 people? For part (b), what is the probability that the interviewer will speak to exactly
