Suppose we need to pick two numbers from {1,2,3,4,...,100}
uniformly at random (you might choose the same number twice). What
is the probability that the sum of the two picked numbers is
divisible by 5?
1.Suppose n and k are two positive integers. Pick a uniformly
random lattice path from (0, 0) to (n, k). What is the probability
that the first step is ‘up’?
2) Suppose I use a random numbers table to randomly
choose 900 numbers between 0 and 100. In this particular sample,
the mean of the 900 numbers is 50 and the standard deviation is
30.
a)Approximately, what proportion of the 900 numbers should fall
between 20 and 80 (inclusive)?
b)Suppose each student in Static (class size = 140) repeats the
experiment described above and computes the mean of his or her 900
numbers. Based on the information given above, estimate the...
Appendix B.4 is a table of random numbers that are uniformly
distributed. Hence, each digit from 0 through (including) 9 has the
same likelihood of occurrence. (Round your answers to 2 decimal
places.)
a) Compute the population mean and standard deviation of the
uniform distribution of random numbers.
Population mean
Population Standard Deviation
b) Assume that 10 random samples of five values are selected
from a table of random numbers. The results follow. Each row
represents a random sample....
Suppose we define a relation on the set of natural numbers as
follows. Two numbers are related iff they leave the same remainder
when divided by 5. Is it an equivalence relation? If yes, prove it
and write the equivalence classes. If no, give formal
justification.
Propose two of your own random number generation schemes. Please
generate 100 random numbers ?? (? = 1,2, … ,100) for each scheme
and show the results on the same plot for comparison (i.e., x-axis
of the plot will show the index ? and y-axis will show the
generated random numbers ??. You can use different colors and/or
symbols to distinguish one sequence from the other). Discuss which
scheme will be preferred.
Suppose you choose a coin at random from an urn with 3 coins,
where coin i has P(H) = i/4. What is the pmf for your prior
distribution of the probability of heads for the chosen coin? What
is your posterior given 1 head in 1 flip? 2 heads in 2 flips? 10
heads in 10 flips?Hint: Compute the odds for each coin first.
Pick two cards at random from a well-shuffled deck of 52
cards (pick them simultaneously so they are not the same card).
There are 12 cards considered face cards. There are 4 cards with
the value 10. Let X be the number of face cards in your hand. Let Y
be the number of 10's in your hand. Explain why X and Y are
dependent.
This is a standard deviation contest. You must choose four
numbers from the whole numbers 0 to 10, with repeats allowed.
Step 1:
Choose four numbers that have the smallest possible standard
deviation. What is the numerical value of s in this case? Give your
answer as a whole number (meaning no decimal places).
Step 2:
Is there more than one possibility for choosing four numbers that
have the smallest possible standard deviation?
No.
Yes.
Step 3: Choose four numbers...
6. Suppose that you choose a student at random,
and let the random variable “H” represent the student’s studying
time (in hours) last week. Suppose that “H” has a uniform
distribution on the interval (25, 35). If you randomly select 10
students and that each person’s studying time follows this same
probability distribution, independently from person to person,
determine the probability that at least two of the students studied
for more than 32 hours last week.
