Consider the box of red and blue balls in Examples 4.2.4 and 4.2.5. Suppose that we sample n>1 balls with replacement, and let X be the number of red balls in the sample. Then we sample n balls without replacement, and we let Y be the number of red balls in the sample. Prove that\({\bf{{\rm P}}}\left( {{\bf{X = n}}} \right){\bf{ > {\rm P}}}\left( {{\bf{Y = n}}} \right)\)

Short Answer

Expert verified

\({\rm P}\left( {X = n} \right) > {\rm P}\left( {Y = n} \right)\)

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A box contain red and blue balls.

N be the no. of balls in the box.

X be the no. of red balls in the sample

02

Calculating no. of blue and red balls.

Proportion of the red balls is p, hence there are np red balls in the box.

There are\(N\left( {1 - p} \right)\)blue balls in the box.

Let\(k = Np\)hence there are N-K blue balls and K red balls.

If n>K ,then\({\rm P}\left( {Y = n} \right) = 0\)

Since there are not enough red balls.

Since\({\rm P}\left( {X = n} \right) > 0\)foe all n , the result is true if n>K.

For\(n \le K\)Let\({X_i} = 1\)if ith ball is red for i=1,...n.for sampling without replacement.

03

Calculating probability

\(\begin{aligned}{c}{\rm P}\left( {X = n} \right) = {\rm P}\left( {{X_1} = 1} \right)\\ = \prod\limits_{}^n {{\rm P}\left( {{X_i} = 1|{X_1} = 1,...{X_{i - 1}} = 1} \right)} \\ = \frac{K}{N}\frac{{K - 1}}{{N - 1}}...\frac{{K - n + 1}}{{N - n + 1}}\end{aligned}\)......(1)

For sampling with replacement the\({X_i}\)are independent, therefore

\(\begin{aligned}{c}{\rm P}\left( {Y = n} \right) = \prod\limits_{i = 1}^n {{\rm P}\left( {{Y_i} = 1} \right)} \\ = {\left( {\frac{K}{N}} \right)^n}\end{aligned}\)..............(2)

For\(j = 1...,n - 1,KN - jn < KN - jK\)so\(\frac{{\left( {K - j} \right)}}{{\left( {N - j} \right)}} < \frac{K}{N}\).

Product in (1)is smaller than (2), only if N is finite.

That is.\({\rm P}\left( {X = n} \right) > {\rm P}\left( {Y = n} \right)\)

If N is infinite, then sampling with and without replacement equivalent.

Suppose that a person must accept a gamble X of the following form:

\({\bf{Pr}}\left( {{\bf{X = a}}} \right){\bf{ = p}}\,\,\,{\bf{and}}\,\,\,{\bf{Pr}}\left( {{\bf{X = 1}} - {\bf{a}}} \right){\bf{ = 1}} - {\bf{p}}\),

where p is a given number such that\({\bf{0 < p < 1}}\), suppose also that the person can choose and fix the value of a\(\left( {{\bf{0}} \le {\bf{a}} \le {\bf{1}}} \right)\)to be used in this gamble. Determine the value of a that the person would choose if his utility function was\({\bf{U}}\left( {\bf{x}} \right){\bf{ = logx}}\)for\({\bf{x > 0}}\).
