N people put their belongings in the jar one by one, and when they are picked one arbitrarily, the number of people who choose their own things is called a random variable X.

a. If the i-th person chooses his belongings, Xi = 1, otherwise Xi = 0, explain whether the probability variable Xi can have a Bernoulli distribution, and mark the probability variable X as a function of Xi.

b. Show E(Xi) = 1 / N and Var(Xi) = (N - 1) / N^2.

c. Find the expected value of E (X) and the distributed Var (X) for choosing your belongings.

It is fairly common for people to put on weight when they quit smoking. While a small weight gain is normal, excessive weight gain can create new health concerns that erode the benefits of not smoking. The accompanying table shows a portion of the weight data for 50 women before quitting and six months after quitting.

There are n people who can shake hands with one another (where n > 1). Use pigeonhole principle to show that there is always a pair of people who will shake hands with the same number of people. Hint. Pigeonhole principle does not immediately apply to this problem. Solve the problem for two cases: (1) There is no person who shakes hands with everyone else (all handshake numbers are strictly less than n − 1). Easy case. (2) There is...

In lecture we discussed Milgram’s 1967 experiment; he picked 300 people at random in Nebraska and asked them to send a letter to a stockbroker in Boston, by way of relaying the letter through a chain of people. The rule is that every person has to know the next person they are sending the 1 letter to on a first name basis. He found that on average each letter went through the hands of 6.4 people before reaching the stockbroker....

A jar contains 100 coins. One of the coins is a trick coin with heads on both sides. The other 99 coins are ordinary coins with heads probability .5. A coin is selected at random. (a) What is the probability the coin selected is the trick coin? (b) The coin selected is tossed 7 times, and it happens to land heads each of those times. Now what is the probability it is the trick coin?
