Consider a joint PMF for the results of a study that compared the number of micro-strokes a patient suffered in a year (F) and an index (S) that characterizes the stress the person is exposed to. This PMF represents the probability of a randomly picked person from the studied population having F=f micro-strokes and S=s stress index.

f=0 f=1 f=2 f=3
s=1 0.1 0.04 0.04 0.02
s=2 0.25 0.1 0.12 0.03
s=3 0.15 0.06 0.03 0.06

a) The conditional PMF for the number of strokes F given stress index S=3.


b) The expected number of strokes and the variance of this magnitude for patients with S=3?


c) The conditional PMF for strokes and stress index given event A={(S,F) /s<3 and f<2}


d) There were 3000 patients in the study. How many you expect to find that have F and S in A (same A as above)?


e) What is the average stress index in this population? (hint: the marginal probability function above may be helpful)

Ex. 2.40 European roulette.

The game of European roulette involves spinning a wheel with 37 slots: 18 red, 18 black, and 1 green. A ball is spun onto the wheel and will eventually land in a slot, where each slot has an equal chance of capturing the ball. Gamblers can place bets on red or black. If the ball lands on their colour, they double their money. If it lands on another colour, they lose their money.

(a) Suppose you play roulette and bet $3 on a single round. What is the expected value and standard deviation of your total winnings?

(b) Suppose you bet $1 in three different rounds. What is the expected value and standard deviation of your total winnings?

(c) How do your answers to parts (a) and (b) compare? What does this say about the riskiness of the two games?

Ex. 2.34 Ace of clubs wins.

Consider the following card game with a well-shuffled deck of cards. If you draw a red card, you win nothing. If you get a spade, you win $5. For any club, you win $10 plus an extra $20 for the ace of clubs.

(a) Create a probability model for the amount you win at this game. Also, find the expected winnings for a single game and the standard deviation of the winnings.

(b) What is the maximum amount you would be willing to pay to play this game? Explain your reasoning.

In a population of 10,000, there are 5000 nonsmokers, 2500 smokers of one pack or less per day, and 2500 smokers of more than one pack per day. During any month, there is a 5% probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking a pack or less per day, and a 4% probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking more than a pack per day. For smokers who smoke a pack or less per day, there is a 10% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of increasing to more than a pack per day. For smokers who smoke more than a pack per day, there is a 5% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of dropping to a pack or less per day.
