Suppose that A and B each randomly and independently choose3of10objects. Find the expected number of objects

a. Chosen by both A and B;

b. Not chosen by either A or B;

c. Chosen by exactly one of A and B.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The expected number of objects value are,

a. Expected numbers of items chosen by both Aand Bvalue areE(AB)=0.9

b. Expected numbers of items not chosen by both Aor Bvalue are EA'B'=4.9

c. Expected numbers of items chosen by either value are role="math" localid="1647253518420" E("AorB")=4.2.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information (part a)

The expected number of objects.

Chosen by both A and B.

02

Explanation (part a)

Substitute the A and B,

P(A)=310=0.3

P(B)=310=0.3

PA'=1-P(A)=1-0.3=0.7

PB'=1-P(B)=1-0.3=0.7.

03

Explanation (part a)

Choose Aand B:

P(AB)=P(A)P(B)

Multiply the value,

=0.30.3

=0.09

n=10items are total.

Expected numbers of items chosen by both AandBis:

E(AB)=nP(AB)

Substitute the value,

=100.09

=0.9.

04

Final answer (part a)

Expected numbers of items chosen by bothAandBE(AB)=0.9.

05

Given Information (Part b)

The expected number of objects.

Not chosen by either AandB.

06

Explanation (Part b) 

Substitute the not chosen by either AandB,

PA'=0.7- not choosing an item of A

PB'=0.7- not choosing an item ofB

The probability that neither Aand Bchoses an item is:

PA'B'=PA'PB'

Substitute the value,

=0.70.7

=0.49.

07

Explanation (Part b)

The expected number of items not chosen by AorBis:

EA'B'=nPA'B'

Multiply the value,

=100.49

=4.9

08

Final answer (Part b) 

Expected numbers of items not chosen by bothAandBvalue areEA'B'=4.9.

09

Given Information (Part c)

The expected number of objects.

Chosen by exactly one ofAandB.

10

Explanation (Part c)

We choose Aor do not choose B,

Simplify ,

PAB'=0.30.7

=0.21

Chooses an itemAorBis,

0.21+0.21=0.42.

11

Explanation (Part c)

Expected numbers of items chosen by eitherAorBis:

E("AorB")

Simplify the value,

=100.42

=4.2.

12

Final answer (Part c)

Expected numbers of items chosen by either value are E("AorB")=4.2

Use the conditional variance formula to determine the variance of a geometric random variable X having parameter p.

Consider the following dice game: A pair of dice is rolled. If the sum is7,then the game ends and you win 0.If the sum is not 7,then you have the option of either stopping the game and receiving an amount equal to that sum or starting over again. For each value ofi,i=2,...,12, find your expected return if you employ the strategy of stopping the first time that a value at least as large as i appears. What value ofileads to the largest expected return? Hint: Let Xidenote the return when you use the critical value i.To computeE[Xi], condition on the initial sum.

The number of people who enter an elevator on the ground floor is a Poisson random variable with mean 10. If there are N floors above the ground floor, and if each person is equally likely to get off at any one of theN floors, independently of where the others get off, compute the expected number of stops that the elevator will make before discharging all of its passengers.

Consider a population consisting of individuals able to produce offspring of the same kind. Suppose that by the end of its lifetime, each individual will have produced j new offspring with probability Pj, j0, independently of the number produced by any other individual. The number of individuals initially present, denoted by X0, is called the size of the zeroth generation. All offspring of the zeroth generation constitute the first generation, and their number is denoted by X1. In general, let Xn denote the size of the nth generation. Let =j=0jPjand 2=j=0(j)2Pj denote, respectively, the mean and the variance of the number of offspring produced by a single individual. Suppose that X0 = 1鈥 that is, initially there is a single individual in the population

The model just described is known as a branching process, and an important question for a population that evolves along such lines is the probability that the population will eventually die out. Let 蟺 denote this probability when the population starts with a single individual. That is,

=P{population eventually dies outX0=1

(e) Argue that 蟺 satisfies

There are two misshapen coins in a box; their probabilities for landing on heads when they are flipped are, respectively, .4and .7. 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 10 flips?
