Let n be a positive integer and p and r two real numbers in the interval...
Let n be a positive integer and p and r two real numbers in the interval (0,1). Two random variables X and Y are defined on a the same sample space. All we know about them is that X∼Geom(p) and Y∼Bin(n,r). (In particular, we do not know whether X and Y are independent.) For each expectation below, decide whether it can be calculated with this information, and if it can, give its value (in terms of p, n, and r)....

Let n be a positive integer, and let Hn denote the graph whose vertex set is the set of all n-tuples with coordinates in {0, 1}, such that vertices u and v are adjacent if and only if they differ in one position. For example, if n = 3, then (0, 0, 1) and (0, 1, 1) are adjacent, but (0, 0, 0) and (0, 1, 1) are not. Answer the following with brief justification (formal proofs not necessary): a....

Euler's Totient Function Let f(n) denote Euler's totient function; thus, for a positive integer n, f(n) is the number of integers less than n which are coprime to n. For a prime p its is known that f(p^k) = p^k-p^{k-1}. For example f(27) = f(3^3) = 3^3 - 3^2 = (3^2) 2=18. In addition, it is known that f(n) is multiplicative in the sense that f(ab) = f(a)f(b) whenever a and b are coprime. Lastly, one has the celebrated generalization...

Let F be a field (for instance R or C), and let P2(F) be the set of polynomials of degree ≤ 2 with coefficients in F, i.e., P2(F) = {a0 + a1x + a2x2 | a0,a1,a2 ∈ F}. Prove that P2(F) is a vector space over F with sum ⊕ and scalar multiplication defined as follows: (a0 + a1x + a2x^2)⊕(b0 + b1x + b2x^2) = (a0 + b0) + (a1 + b1)x + (a2 + b2)x^2 λ (b0 +...
