10 couples go to a party (So 20 people in total). Each of the 20 people are randomly seated at a large round table with 20 chairs. Let Xi = 1, for i = 1, 2, . . . , 20, if the i th person is sitting next to the other person in their couple, and 0 otherwise. Let Y be the total number of people who are seated next to their partner. (Note that the Xi ’s all have the same distribution, but are not independent.)

(a) What is E[Xi ]?

(b) What is E[Y ]?

(c) What is Var[Xi ]?

(d) What is E[XiXj ], if the i th person and j th person are in the same couple?

(e) What is E[XiXj ], if the i th person and j th person are not in the same couple? (f) What is Var[Y ]

A group of 20 people have a Russian roulette party. Each person at the party plays (pulls the trigger) three times. In between the times they re-spin the barrel. What is a box model for the fraction of people who survive the party? What is the expected value and standard error? If they do not re-spin the barrel, what is a box model for the fraction of survivors? What is the expected value and standard error?

Three couples and two individuals (eight total people) have been invited to an investment seminar and have agreed to attend. Suppose the probability that any particular couple or individual arrives late is .4 (a couple will travel together in the same vehicle, so either both people will be on time or else both people will arrive late). Assume that different couples and individuals are on time or late independently of one another. Calculate the probability that 6 or more people...
