Expert verified

The required value is 3(2p1).

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Three coins are tossed.

02

Definition of the cumulative distribution function.

The likelihood that a comparable continuous random variable has a value less than or equal to the function's argument is the value of the function.

03

Find the value.

The results in problem 9 are mentioned below.

μxv=E(xy)=B(x)B(y)

The value of the random variable x is mentioned below.

x1=0P1=1-P3x1=1P1=3p1-P2

More values are mentioned below.

x3=2P2=3p2(1p)x4=3P4=p3

The expected value of value x is given below.

E(x)=p2xipi=6p2(1p)+3p1-p2+3p3=6p26p3+3p12p+p2+3p23p

The value of the random variable y is mentioned below.

y1=0P1=P3y2=1P2=3p2(1p)

More values are mentioned below.

y3=2P1=3p1-p2y4=3Pi=1-p3

The expected value of y is given below.

E(y)=yipi=6p1-p2+3p2(1p)+31-p3=3p23p3+6p12p+p2+313p+3pp3=33p

The value is mentioned below.

μxy=E(xy)=3p[33p]=6p3=3(2p1)

Hence, the required value is 3(2p1).

A bank allows one person to have only one savings account insured to $100,000.However, a larger family may have accounts for each individual, and also accountingthe names of any 2 people, any 3 and so on. How many accounts are possible for afamily of 2? Of 3? Of 5? Of? Hint: See Problem 2.

Prove (3.1) for a nonuniform sample space. Hints: Remember that the probability of an event is the sum of the probabilities of the sample points favorable to it. Using Figure 3.1, let the points in A but not in AB have probabilities p1, p2, ... pn, the points in have probabilities pn+1, pn+2, .... + pn+k, and the points in B but not in AB have probabilities pn+k+1, pn+k+2, ....pn+k+l. Find each of the probabilities in (3.1) in terms of the ’s and show that you then have an identity.

(a) Set up a sample space for the 5 black and 10 white balls in a box discussed above assuming the first ball is not replaced. Suggestions: Number the balls, say 1 to 5 for black and 6 to 15 for white. Then the sample points form an array something like (2.4), but the point 3,3 for example is not allowed. (Why?

What other points are not allowed?) You might find it helpful to write the

numbers for black balls and the numbers for white balls in different colors.

(b) Let A be the event “first ball is white” and B be the event “second ball is

black.” Circle the region of your sample space containing points favorable to

A and mark this region A. Similarly, circle and mark region B. Count the

number of sample points in A and in B; these are and . The region

AB is the region inside both A and B; the number of points in this region is

. Use the numbers you have found to verify (3.2) and (3.1). Also find

and and verify (3.3) numerically.

(c) Use Figure 3.1 and the ideas of part (b) to prove (3.3) in general.

Consider a biased coin with probability 13of headsand 23oftails and suppose it is tossed450times.
