Suppose thatX1andX2are independent random variables, thatX1has the binomial distribution with parametersn1 andp, and thatX2has the binomial distributionwith parametersn2andp, wherepis the same for bothX1andX2. For each fixed value ofk (k=1,2,…, n1+n2),prove that the conditional distribution ofX1given thatX1+X2=kis hypergeometric with parametersn1,n2,andk.

\[P\left( {{X_1} = x|{X_1} + {X_2} = k} \right) = \frac{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{n_1}}\\x\end{array}} \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{n_2}}\\{k - x}\end{array}} \right)}}{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{n_1} + {n_2}}\\k\end{array}} \right)}}\] [Proved]

Step by step solution

01

Given information

\[{X_1}\]and\[{X_2}\]are independent random variables.

\[\begin{array}{l}{X_1} \sim Bin\left( {{n_1},p} \right)\\{X_2} \sim Bin\left( {{n_2},p} \right)\end{array}\]

02

State and proof

For\[x = 0,1,...,k\],

\[\begin{array}{c}P\left( {{X_1} = x|{X_1} + {X_2} = k} \right) = \frac{{P\left( {{X_1} = x,{X_1} + {X_2} = k} \right)}}{{P\left( {{X_1} + {X_2} = k} \right)}}\\ = \frac{{P\left( {{X_1} = x,{X_2} = k - x} \right)}}{{P\left( {{X_1} + {X_2} = k} \right)}}\end{array}\]

Since,\[{X_1}\]and\[{X_2}\]are independent,

\[P\left( {{X_1} = x,{X_2} = k - x} \right) = P\left( {{X_1} = x} \right)P\left( {{X_2} = k - x} \right)\]

Here,

\[{X_1} + {X_2} \sim Bin\left( {{n_1} + {n_2},p} \right)\]

So,

\[P\left( {{X_1} = x} \right) = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{n_1}}\\x\end{array}} \right){p^x}{\left( {1 - p} \right)^{{n_1} - x}}\].

\[P\left( {{X_2} = k - x} \right) = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{n_2}}\\{k - x}\end{array}} \right){p^{k - x}}{\left( {1 - p} \right)^{{n_2} - k + x}}\]

\[P\left( {{X_1} + {X_2} = k} \right) = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{n_1} + {n_2}}\\k\end{array}} \right){p^k}{\left( {1 - p} \right)^{{n_1} + {n_2} - k}}\]

\[\begin{array}{c}P\left( {{X_1} = x|{X_1} + {X_2} = k} \right) = \frac{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{n_1}}\\x\end{array}} \right){p^x}{{\left( {1 - p} \right)}^{{n_1} - x}}\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{n_2}}\\{k - x}\end{array}} \right){p^{k - x}}{{\left( {1 - p} \right)}^{{n_2} - k + x}}}}{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{n_1} + {n_2}}\\k\end{array}} \right){p^k}{{\left( {1 - p} \right)}^{{n_1} + {n_2} - k}}}}\\ = \frac{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{n_1}}\\x\end{array}} \right){p^k}{{\left( {1 - p} \right)}^{{n_1} + {n_2} - k}}\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{n_2}}\\{k - x}\end{array}} \right)}}{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{n_1} + {n_2}}\\k\end{array}} \right){p^k}{{\left( {1 - p} \right)}^{{n_1} + {n_2} - k}}}}\\ = \frac{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{n_1}}\\x\end{array}} \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{n_2}}\\{k - x}\end{array}} \right)}}{{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{n_1} + {n_2}}\\k\end{array}} \right)}}\end{array}\]

Therefore, the conditional distribution is a hypergeometric distribution with parameters\[{n_1}\],\[{n_2}\]and\[k\].

Hence, proved.

Every Sunday morning, two children, Craig and Jill, independently try to launch their model airplanes. On each Sunday, Craig has a probability \(\frac{{\bf{1}}}{{\bf{3}}}\) of a successful launch, and Jill has the probability \(\frac{{\bf{1}}}{{\bf{5}}}\) of a successful launch. Determine the expected number of Sundays required until at least one of the two children has a successful launch.

Suppose that on a certain examination in advanced mathematics, students from university A achieve scores normally distributed with a mean of 625 and a variance of 100, and students from university B achieve scores normally distributed with a mean of 600 and a variance of 150. If two students from university A and three students from university B take this examination, what is the probability that the average of the scores of the two students from university A will be greater than the average of the scores of the three students from university B? Hint: Determine the distribution of the difference between the two averages
