Chapter 7: Q.7.37 (page 355)

A die is rolled twice. Let X equal the sum of the outcomes, and let Y equal the first outcome minus the second.

ComputeCov(X,Y).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value ofCov(X,Y)is0.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

X=The sum of the outcomes,

Y=The first outcome minus the second

Cov(X,Y)=?

02

Explanation

Let Xdenote equal the sum of the outcome.

LetY denote equal the first outcome minus the second.

Let Z1be the outcome of the first role.

Let Z2be the outcome of the second toll.

Thus, X=Z1+Z2andY=Z1-Z2

03

Explanation

Calculate the covariance of the Cov(X,Y)

Cov(X,Y)=CovZ1+Z2,Z1-Z2

=CovZ1,Z1-CovZ1,Z2+CovZ2,Z1-CovZ2,Z2

=CovZ1,Z1-CovZ2,Z2

=VarZ1-VarZ2Since, VarZ1=VarZ2

=0

Here, VarZ1=VarZ2because, Z1 and Z2are identically distributed.

04

Final Answer

The value ofCov(X,Y)is0.

Consider 3 trials, each having the same probability of success. Let Xdenote the total number of successes in these trials. If E[X]=1.8, what is

(a) the largest possible value of PX=3?

(b) the smallest possible value of P{X=3}}?

A group of 20 people consisting of 10 men and 10 women is randomly arranged into 10 pairs of 2 each. Compute the expectation and variance of the number of pairs that consist of a man and a woman. Now suppose the 20 people consist of 10 married couples. Compute the mean and variance of the number of married couples that are paired together.

Consider n independent trials, each resulting in any one ofr possible outcomes with probabilities P1,P2,鈥�,Pr. Let X denote the number of outcomes that never occur in any of the trials. Find E[X] and show that among all probability vectors P1,鈥�,Pr,E[X] is minimized whenPi=1/r,i=1,鈥�,r.

There are n items in a box labeled H and m in a box labeled T. A coin that comes up heads with probability p and tails with probability 1 鈭� p is flipped. Each time it comes up heads, an item is removed from the H box, and each time it comes up tails, an item is removed from the T box. (If a box is empty and its outcome occurs, then no items are removed.) Find the expected number of coin flips needed for both boxes to become empty. Hint: Condition on the number of heads in the first n + m flips.
