Let \(Y_{1}
When 100 tacks were thrown on a table, 60 of them landed point up. Obtain a 95 percent confidence interval for the probability that a tack of this type will land point up. Assume independence.
In the second sampling procedure (sampling without replacement) for the urn problem at the beginning of this section, show that (a) The random variables \(X_{i}\) and \(X_{j}, i \neq j\), are dependent. Hint: Find their joint pmf.
Let \(X_{1}, X_{2}, \ldots, X_{n}\) be a random sample from a continuous type
distribution.
(a) Find \(P\left(X_{1} \leq X_{2}\right), P\left(X_{1} \leq X_{2}, X_{1} \leq
X_{3}\right), \ldots, P\left(X_{1} \leq X_{i}, i=2,3, \ldots, n\right)\)
(b) Suppose the sampling continues until \(X_{1}\) is no longer the smallest
observation, (i.e., \(\left.X_{j}
Let \(\bar{X}\) and \(\bar{Y}\) be the means of two independent random samples, each of size \(n\), from the respective distributions \(N\left(\mu_{1}, \sigma^{2}\right)\) and \(N\left(\mu_{2}, \sigma_{2}\right)\), where the common variance is known. Find \(n\) such that $$ P\left(\bar{X}-\bar{Y}-\sigma / 5<\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}<\bar{X}-\bar{Y}+\sigma / 5\right)=0.90 $$
