Short Answer

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).

As in Problem 11, show that the expected number of5's in n tosses of a die is n6.

Suppose it is known that 1% of the population have a certain kind of cancer. It is also known that a test for this kind of cancer is positive in 99% of the people who have it but is also positive in 2% of the people who do not have it. What is the probability that a person who tests positive has cancer of this type?

(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.

Question: Use both the sample space (2.4) and the sample space (2.5) to answer the following questions about a toss of two dice.

(a) What is the probability that the sum is ≥ 4?

(b) What is the probability that the sum is even?

(c) What is the probability that the sum is divisible by 3?

(d) If the sum is odd, what is the probability that it is equal to 7?

(e) What is the probability that the product of the numbers on the two dice is 12?
