Suppose we toss balls into 5 bins until some bin contains two balls. Each toss is...
(e) Suppose that 4 balls are placed sequentially into one of 5 bins, where the bin for each ball is selected at random. For i = 1, 2,3,4,5, define the indicator variables 1, if the ith bin is empty; 0, otherwise Xi _ Then the number of empty boxes is given by X = X\+X2+ X3 + X4+X5, and we learned from week #7 lecture notes and midterm II that Xi ~ Bernoulli(p) with p = (1 - 2)4 =...
How many ways can n identical balls be distributed into k bins such that each bin contains at least two balls? Assume that n ≥ 2k. Please type your answer or use neat handwriting.
We have 2 boxes, each containing 3 balls. Box number 1 contains one black and two white balls; box number 2 contains two black and one white ball. Our friend chooses one of the boxes at random, probability of choosing box number 1 is p. Then he takes one ball from a chosen box (each of three balls can be taken chosen equally likely), and it turns out to be white. We are going to find MAP estimate for the...
Q3. Suppose we toss a coin until we see a heads, and let X be the number of tosses. Recall that this is what we called the geometric distribution. Assume that it is a fair coin (equal probability of heads and tails). What is the p.m.f. of X? (I.e., for an integer i, what is P(X=i)? What is ?[X]? ({} this is a discrete variable that takes infinitely many values.)
Consider the following gam. We start with an urn with 1 red ball and 1 blue ball. Each round, we reach in and grab a ball at random, then return that ball plus one more ball of the same color. Repeat this process until there are n balls in the bin. Show that the number of red balls is equally likely to be any number between 1 andn-1

Suppose that Anna and Ben will each toss a fair coin until an outcome of Heads is obtained. (I.e., each person will toss their coin until they obtain an outcome of Heads.) What is the probability that it will take Ben MORE THAN TWICE as many tosses as it takes Anna? (Make the usual assumptions regarding tosses of fair coins.)

Repeat this process until there are n balls in the bin. Show that the number of red balls is equally likely to be any number between 1 and n-1
