Chapter 7: Q 7.32 (page 361)
For an event A, let IA equal 1 if A occurs and let it equal 0 if A does not occur. For a random variable X, show that E[X|A] = E[XIA] P(A
Short Answer
With the help of Lebesgue induction, we can prove this

Let be the value of the first die and the sum of the values when two dice are rolled. Compute the joint moment generating function of and .
In the text, we noted that
when the are all nonnegative random variables. Since
an integral is a limit of sums, one might expect that
whenever are all nonnegative random
variables; this result is indeed true. Use it to give another proof of the result that for a nonnegative random variable ,
Hint: Define, for each nonnegative , the random variable

There are two misshapen coins in a box; their probabilities for landing on heads when they are flipped are, respectively, .and .. One of the coins is to be randomly chosen and flipped 10 times. Given that two of the first three flips landed on heads, what is the conditional expected number of heads in the flips?
