Let X Geom(p). For positive integers n, k define

P(X = n + k | X > n) = P(X = n + k) / P(X > n) :

Show that P(X = n + k | X > n) = P(X = k) and then briefly argue, in words, why this is true for geometric random variables.

Let An = {ai} n i=1 denote a list of n distinct positive integers. The median mA of An is a value in An such that half the elements in An are less than m (and so, the other half are greater than or equal m). In fact, the median element is said to have a middle rank. (a) Develop an algorithm that uses Sorting to return mA given An. (6%) (b) Now assume that one is given another list...

Let d1, d2, ..., dn, with n at least 2, be positive integers. Use mathematical induction to explain why, if d1+ d2+…+dn = 2n-2, then there must be a tree with n vertices whose degrees are exactly d1, d2, ..., dn. (Be careful with reading this statement. It is not the same as saying that any tree with vertex degrees d1, d2, ..., dn must satisfy d1+ d2+...+dn = 2n-2, although this is also true. Rather, it says that if...
