Individuals\({\rm{A}}\)and\({\rm{B}}\)begin to play a sequence of chess games. Let\({\rm{S = }}\){\({\rm{A}}\)wins a game}, and suppose that outcomes of successive games are independent with\({\rm{P(S) = p}}\)and\({\rm{P(F) = 1 - p}}\)(they never draw). They will play until one of them wins ten games. Let\({\rm{X = }}\)the number of games played (with possible values\({\rm{10, 11, }}...{\rm{, 19}}\)).

a. For\({\rm{x = 10, 11, }}...{\rm{, 19}}\), obtain an expression for\({\rm{p(x) = P(X = x)}}\).

b. If a draw is possible, with\({\rm{p = P(S), q = P(F), 1 - p - q(draw)}}\), what are the possible values of\({\rm{X}}\)? What is\({\rm{P(20}} \le {\rm{X)}}\)? (Hint:\({\rm{P(20}} \le {\rm{X) = 1 - P(X < 20)}}{\rm{.}}\))

(a) For\({\rm{x = \{ 10,11,}}...{\rm{,19\} }}\), an expression for\({\rm{p(x) = P(X = x)}}\)is\(\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{x - 1}}}\\{\rm{9}}\end{array}} \right)\left( {{{\rm{p}}^{{\rm{10}}}}{{{\rm{(1 - p)}}}^{{\rm{x - 10}}}}{\rm{ + }}{{\rm{p}}^{{\rm{x - 10}}}}{{{\rm{(1 - p)}}}^{{\rm{10}}}}} \right)\).

(b) For\({\rm{x = \{ 10,11,}}...{\rm{,19\} }}\), an expression for\({\rm{P(20}} \le {\rm{X)}}\)is\(\sum\limits_{{\rm{x = 10}}}^{{\rm{19}}} {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{x - 1}}}\\{\rm{9}}\end{array}} \right)} \left( {{{\rm{p}}^{{\rm{10}}}}{{{\rm{(1 - p)}}}^{{\rm{x - 10}}}}{\rm{ + (1 - q}}{{\rm{)}}^{{\rm{x - 10}}}}{{\rm{q}}^{{\rm{10}}}}} \right)\).

Step by step solution

01

Concept Introduction

Note that the chess game in the given case cannot end up as a draw (given in the exercise).

The player who wins in the last game played (\({x^{th}}\)game) has to be the winner (\({10^{th}}\)win) because otherwise they would keep playing. For\(x \in \{ 10,11,...,19\} \)the following is true 鈥

\({\rm{P(X = x) = P}}\left( {\left\{ {{\rm{A wins in }}{{\rm{x}}^{{\rm{th}}}}{\rm{ game }}} \right\} \cup \left\{ {{\rm{B wins in }}{{\rm{x}}^{{\rm{th}}}}{\rm{ game }}} \right\}} \right)\)

\((1)\): player\(A\)is the winner or player\(B\)is the winner.

02

 The expression for \({\rm{p(x) = P(X = x)}}\)

(a)

The event\({\rm{\{ A wins in }}{{\rm{x}}^{{\rm{th}}}}{\rm{ game\} }}\)can be written as 鈥

\({{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = }}\left\{ {{\rm{player}}} \right.{\rm{A wins 9 games in x - 1 games and wins }}{{\rm{x}}^{{\rm{th }}}}{\rm{game\} }}\)

Find this probability by the multiplication rule (the successive games are independent), therefore 鈥

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm{P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}}} \right) &= P( player A wins 9 games in x - 1 games) \cdot {\rm{P(S)}}\\\ &= \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{x - 1}}}\\{\rm{9}}\end{array}} \right){{\rm{p}}^{\rm{9}}}{{\rm{(1 - p)}}^{{\rm{x - 10}}}} \cdot {\rm{p}}\\ &= \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{x - 1}}}\\{\rm{9}}\end{array}} \right){{\rm{p}}^{{\rm{10}}}}{{\rm{(1 - p)}}^{{\rm{x - 10}}}}\end{aligned}\)

There are\(\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{x - 1}}}\\{\rm{9}}\end{array}} \right)\)ways to take\({\rm{9}}\)elements out of\({\rm{x - 1}}\). The\({{\rm{p}}^9}\)represents the probability of the\({\rm{9S's}}\)and\({{\rm{(1 - p)}}^{{\rm{x - 10}}}}\)represent the probability of the\({\rm{(x - 1 - 9) F's}}\).

The same way we compute the probability for the event 鈥

\({{\rm{B}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = }}\left\{ {{\rm{player}}} \right.{\rm{ B wins 9 games in x - 1 games and wins }}{{\rm{x}}^{{\rm{th }}}}{\rm{game\} }}\)

Therefore, for\(x \in \{ 10,11,...,19\} \)the following is true 鈥

\(\begin{aligned}P(X = x) &= P \left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}} \cap {{\rm{B}}_{\rm{1}}}} \right){\rm{ = P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}}} \right){\rm{ + P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}} \right)\\&= \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{x - 1}}}\\{\rm{9}}\end{array}} \right){{\rm{p}}^{{\rm{10}}}}{{\rm{(1 - p)}}^{{\rm{x - 10}}}}{\rm{ + }}\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{x - 1}}}\\{\rm{9}}\end{array}} \right){{\rm{p}}^{{\rm{x - 10}}}}{{\rm{(1 - p)}}^{{\rm{10}}}}\\ & = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{x - 1}}}\\{\rm{9}}\end{array}} \right)\left( {{{\rm{p}}^{{\rm{10}}}}{{{\rm{(1 - p)}}}^{{\rm{x - 10}}}}{\rm{ + }}{{\rm{p}}^{{\rm{x - 10}}}}{{{\rm{(1 - p)}}}^{{\rm{10}}}}} \right)\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the expression is \(\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{x - 1}}}\\{\rm{9}}\end{array}} \right)\left( {{{\rm{p}}^{{\rm{10}}}}{{{\rm{(1 - p)}}}^{{\rm{x - 10}}}}{\rm{ + }}{{\rm{p}}^{{\rm{x - 10}}}}{{{\rm{(1 - p)}}}^{{\rm{10}}}}} \right)\).

03

The expression for \({\rm{P(20}} \le {\rm{X)}}\)

(b)

In this case, the draw is possible and the probability is given. The possible values of \({\rm{X}}\) are all positive integers bigger than \(10\) (they can play draw endlessly). Therefore, for \(x \in \{ 10,11,...,19\} \), similarly as in (a), just with different probabilities, it is 鈥

\({\rm{P(X = x) = }}\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{x - 1}}}\\{\rm{9}}\end{array}} \right)\left( {{{\rm{p}}^{{\rm{10}}}}{{{\rm{(1 - p)}}}^{{\rm{x - 10}}}}{\rm{ + (1 - q}}{{\rm{)}}^{{\rm{x - 10}}}}{{\rm{q}}^{{\rm{10}}}}} \right)\)

Note that the draw changes only the probabilities and the fact that \({\rm{X}}\) can take values \(x \ge 20\).

Finally, the following holds 鈥

\(\begin{aligned}{\rm{P(X}} \ge {\rm{20) = 1 - P(X < 20) = }}\sum\limits_{{\rm{x = 10}}}^{{\rm{19}}} {\rm{P}} {\rm{(X = x)}}\\{\rm{ = }}\sum\limits_{{\rm{x = 10}}}^{{\rm{19}}} {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{x - 1}}}\\{\rm{9}}\end{array}} \right)} \left( {{{\rm{p}}^{{\rm{10}}}}{{{\rm{(1 - p)}}}^{{\rm{x - 10}}}}{\rm{ + (1 - q}}{{\rm{)}}^{{\rm{x - 10}}}}{{\rm{q}}^{{\rm{10}}}}} \right)\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the expression is \(\sum\limits_{{\rm{x = 10}}}^{{\rm{19}}} {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{x - 1}}}\\{\rm{9}}\end{array}} \right)} \left( {{{\rm{p}}^{{\rm{10}}}}{{{\rm{(1 - p)}}}^{{\rm{x - 10}}}}{\rm{ + (1 - q}}{{\rm{)}}^{{\rm{x - 10}}}}{{\rm{q}}^{{\rm{10}}}}} \right)\).

A k-out-of-n system is one that will function if and only if at least k of the n individual components in the system function. If individual components function independently of one another, each with probability.\(9\), what is the probability that a 3-out-of-5 system functions?

Many manufacturers have quality control programs that include inspection of incoming materials for defects. Suppose a computer manufacturer receives circuit boards in batches of five. Two boards are selected from each batch for inspection. We can represent possible outcomes

of the selection process by pairs. For example, the pair (1, 2) represents the selection of boards 1 and 2 for inspection.

a. List the ten different possible outcomes.

b. Suppose that boards 1 and 2 are the only defective boards in a batch. Two boards are to be chosen at random. Define X to be the number of defective boards observed among those inspected. Find the probability distribution of X.

c. Let F(x) denote the cdf of X. First determine \(F\left( 0 \right) = P\left( {X \le 0} \right)\), F(1), and F(2); then obtain F(x) for allother x.

Consider a disease whose presence can be identified by carrying out a blood test. Let \({\rm{p}}\) denote the probability that a randomly selected individual has the disease. Suppose \({\rm{n}}\) individuals are independently selected for testing. One way to proceed is to carry out a separate test on each of the \({\rm{n}}\) blood samples. A potentially more economical approach, group testing, was introduced during World War \({\rm{II}}\) to identify syphilitic men among army inductees. First, take a part of each blood sample, combine these specimens, and carry out a single test. If no one has the disease, the result will be negative, and only the one test is required. If at least one individual is diseased, the test on the combined sample will yield a positive result, in which case the n individual tests are then carried out. If \({\rm{p = }}{\rm{.1}}\) and \({\rm{n = 3}}\), what is the expected number of tests using this procedure? What is the expected number when \({\rm{n = 5}}\)? (The article 鈥淩andom Multiple-Access Communication and Group Testing鈥 (IEEE Trans. on Commun., \({\rm{1984: 769 - 774}}\)) applied these ideas to a communication system in which the dichotomy was active/ idle user rather than diseased/non-diseased.)

Ageologist has collected 10 specimens of basaltic rock and \({\rm{10 }}\) specimens of granite. The geologist instructs a laboratory assistant to randomly select \({\rm{15}}\) of the specimens for analysis.
