I randomly pick two integers from 1 to n without replacement (n a positive integer). Let X be the maximum of the two numbers. (a) Find the probability mass function of X. (b) Find E(X) and simplify as much as possible (use formulas for the sum and sum of squares of the first n integers which you can find online).
PROOFS: Use these theorems and others to prove these statements. Theorem 1: The sum of two rational numbers is rational. Theorem 2: The product of two rational numbers is rational. Theorem 3: √ 2 is irrational. Induction: Prove that 6 divides n 3 − n for any n ≥ 0 Use strong induction to prove that every positive integer n can be written as the sum of distinct powers of 2. That is, prove that there exists a set of...
Prove: Let k be a positive integer, and set n :=2k-1(2k – 1). Then (2k+1 – 1)2 = 8n +1 Prove: Let n be a positive integer, and let s and t be integers. Show that Hire (st) = n(s) in (t) mod n.
