There are n birds that sit in a row on a wire. Each bird look
left or right with equal probability. Let N be the number of birds
not seeing by any neighboring bird. Find
lim n→∞ E(N/n) and lim n→∞ Var(N/n).

(c) Let N~DU(100), and let X have the value 10, 20, 25, or 50 with probability 1/4 each, independent of N. If N > X, repeatedly subtract X from N until the result is X or smaller. Let Y be the number left over after this repeated subtraction. The number Y is almost the same as the remainder left over after dividing N into X equal parts, ercept that Y will equal X, not 0, if N is evenly divisible...
Suppose that \(\left(\xi_{j}\right)^{\infty}=1\) is a sequence of independent identically distributed \((i . i . d .)\) continuous random variables.- Suppose that each \(\xi_{i}\) has a probability density function \(p_{i}(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{c}\frac{\beta}{x^{x}}, x \geq 1 \\ 0, x<1\end{array}\right.\), where \(\alpha, \beta \in\)R.- Let \(S_{n}=\sum_{i=1}^{n} \xi_{i}\).- Let \(S_{n}=\frac{s_{n}-\operatorname{mE}\left(\xi_{0}\right)}{\sqrt{n} \operatorname{Var}(\mathcal{B})}\).a. Find a condition on \(\alpha\) and a condition on \(\beta\) (as a function of \(\alpha\) ) which together make \(f_{1}(x)\) a probability density function.b. Find conditions on \(\alpha\) which guarantee that \(\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty}...
A sidewalk with n squares (in one long row) is to be painted. Each square will be painted red, blue, or yellow with the property that adjacent squares are always colored differently. Let on be a sequence counting the number of ways to color a sidewalk of length n. (a) Compute c1, C2, c3, and c4. (b) Find a recursive formula for cn (c) Find a closed formula for cn (d) Use induction to prove that your closed formula is...
Suppose we have two urns (a left urn and a right urn). The left urn contains N black balls and the right urn contains N red balls. Every time step you take one ball (chosen randomly) from each urn, swap the balls, and place them back in the urns. Let Xm be the number of black balls in the left urn after m time steps. Find the Markov chain model and find the unique stationary distribution when N=5
[20] A plant sheds X seeds, where X B(n,p).Each seed germinates with probability o independently of all others. Let Y number of seedlings. 5. a) Find the pmf of Y b) Determine E(Y) and Var(Y).
Let M be an n x n matrix with each entry equal to either 0 or 1. Let mij denote the entry in row i and column j. A diagonal entry is one of the form mii for some i. Swapping rows i and j of the matrix M denotes the following action: we swap the values mik and mjk for k = 1,2, ... , n. Swapping two columns is defined analogously. We say that M is rearrangeable if...
Consider a group ofn 4 people, numbered from l to n. For each pair (i, j) with ǐ关į person i and person J are friends, with probability p. Friendships are independent for different pairs. These n people are seated around a round table. For convenience, assume that the chairs are numbered from 1 to n, clockwise, with n located next to 1, and that person i seated in chair i. In particular, person 1 and person n are seatec next...
Exercise 5.12. Let n∈N and S={0,1,...,n−1}, and suppose that P({s}) = 1/n for each s∈S. Let X:S→R be the random variable defined by X(s) =s. i) Find a closed form formula for MX(z), which does not use sigma notation or any other iterative notation. (ii) Calculate E[X]. (iii) Calculate Var[X].
Assume that 15% of people are left-handed. Suppose 16 people are selected at random. Answer each question about right-handers below. a) Find the mean and standard deviation of the number of right-handers in the group. b) What's the probability that they're not all right-handed? c) What's the probability that there are no more than 10 righties? d) What's the probability that there are exactly 7 of each? e) What's the probability that the majority is right-handed?
Let A be an n×n matrix. Mark each statement as true or false. Justify each answer. a. An n×n determinant is defined by determinants of (n−1)×(n−1) submatrices. b. The (i,j)-cofactor of a matrix A is the matrix obtained by deleting from A its I’th row and j’th column. a. Choose the correct answer below. A. The statement is false. Although determinants of (n−1)×(n−1)submatrices can be used to find n×n determinants,they are not involved in the definition of n×n determinants. B....
