Let X1, ... , Xn and Y1, ... , Yn be independent random vectors, with each vector being a random ordering of k ones and n − k zeros. That is, their joint probability mass functions are $\begin{array}{r}P\left\{X_1=i_1,\dots ,X_n=i_n\right\}=P\left\{Y_1=i_1,\dots ,Y_n=i_n\right\}\\ =\frac{1}{\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\ k\end{array}\right)},i_j=0,1,\sum _{j=1}^n i_j=k\end{array}$

The relation between N to M

Given: Given that $$\begin{gathered} X_1.....X_n \\ {Y}_1.....Y_n \end{gathered}$$be independent random vectors, with each vector being a random ordering of k ones and n-k zeros. That is their joint probability mass functions are$\begin{array}{r}P\left\{X_1=i_1,\dots ,X_n=i_n\right\}=P\left\{Y_1=i_1,\dots ,Y_n=i_n\right\}\\ =\frac{1}{\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\ k\end{array}\right)},i_j=0,1,\sum _{j=1}^n i_j=k\end{array}$

$\mathrm{N}=\sum _{\mathrm{i}=1}^{\mathrm{n}}\left|{\mathrm{X}}_{\mathrm{i}}-{\mathrm{Y}}_{\mathrm{i}}\right|$denote the number of coordinates at which the two vectors have different values.

Also, let M denotes the number of values of i for which$X_i=1,Y_i=0$

Calculation : From the given information it can written as

$\sum _{i=1}^n{X}_i=\sum _{i=1}^n{Y}_i$

So, M denotes the number of value of i.

it follows$N=2M$

Hence , the relation between N to M =$2M.$

The distribution of M.

Consider the n-k co-ordinates chose Y - values are equal to 0 and call them the red coordinates. Because the k co-ordinates whose X - values are equal to 1 are equally likely to be any of the $\left(\begin{array}{l}n\\ k\end{array}\right)$sets of k coordinates, It follows the number of Red coordinates among these k coordinates has the same distribution as the number of Red balls chosen when one Randomly chooses k of a set n balls of which $\mathrm{n}-\mathrm{k}$ are Red. Therefore, M is a Hyper geometric Random variable.

The value of$E\left[N\right]$

Given :

Given that $$\begin{gathered} X_1....X_n \\ {Y}_1.....Y_n \end{gathered}$$be independent random vectors, with each vector being a random ordering of k ones and n-k zeros. That is their joint probability mass functions are $\begin{array}{r}P\left\{X_1=i_1,\dots ,X_n=i_n\right\}=P\left\{Y_1=i_1,\dots ,Y_n=i_n\right\}\\ =\frac{1}{\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\ k\end{array}\right)},i_j=0,1,\sum _{j=1}^n i_j=k\end{array}$

$\mathrm{N}=\sum _{\mathrm{i}=1}^{\mathrm{n}}\left|{\mathrm{X}}_{\mathrm{i}}-{\mathrm{Y}}_{\mathrm{i}}\right|$denote the number of coordinates at which the two vectors have different values.

Also, let M denotes the number of values of i for which$X_i=1,Y_i=0$

Calculation :

$$\begin{gathered} E\left[N\right]=E[2M]=2E\left[M\right] \\ \Rightarrow E\left[N\right]=\frac{2k(n-k)}{n} \end{gathered}$$

Therefore$\frac{2k(n-k)}{n}istheE\left[N\right]$

The value of$var\left(N\right)$

Calculation : $\begin{array}{r}\mathrm{Var}\left[N\right]=\mathrm{Var}\left[2M\right]\\ =2^2\mathrm{Var}\left[M\right]\\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{Var}\left[N\right]=4\frac{(n-k)}{(n-1)}k\left(1-\frac{k}{n}\right)\left(\frac{k}{n}\right)\end{array}$

Hence the value of$Var\left[N\right]=4\frac{(n-k)}{(n-1)}k\left(1-\frac{k}{n}\right)\left(\frac{k}{n}\right)$
