There are 11 boxes, one of the boxes contained a bomb and the others each contains Ai coins for i=1...10
what's the expected value of coins you get from picking m boxes among these 11 boxes.
(if you pick the bomb you get nothing)

Answer #1

Ai is the number of coins contained in the ith box, i = 1,2,..,10. Let A11 = 0(representing the number of coins in the box containing the bomb). m boxes are selected out of the 11 boxes. Define the random variable, aj = the number of coins in the jth selected box, j = 1,2,...,m. We have to find the expected number of coins by selecting m boxes out of 11, i.e. . Now,  (since A11 = 0), j= 1,2,...,m.

Therefore, . (Answer)

A black bag contains two coins: one fair, and the other biased (with probability 3/4 of landing heads). Suppose you pick a coin from the bag — you are twice as likely to pick the fair coin as the biased one — and flip it 8 times. Given that three of the first four flips land heads, what is the expected number of heads in the 8 flips?

I have 10 bags of coins containing 10 coins each. All the coins in the bags are identical in appearance and mass (10.0 g each) except for the coins in one bag. In that bag the coins are more massive than the average coin by 0.1 g. If you are allowed only one weighing using a digital scale, how would you determine which bag contained the more massive coin? Hint: You may remove the coins from the bags.

A bag contains 20 envelopes, all the same size but some have $1 in them and some have $100. You are told to pick envelopes one at a time with replacement . You keep picking the envelopes in this way until you get an envelope that has $100. Let Y = the number of envelopes picked in order to get one with $100. Test if the proportion of envelopes in the bag with $100 is over 0.10. It is decided...

You pay 50 cents to randomly select 6 checkers from a bag. The bag contains 10 red checkers and 8 black checkers. If you get 3 red checkers, then you get $5. If you get 4 red checkers, then you get $7 and if you get 5 red checkers, then you get $10. Otherwise, you get nothing. Find the expected value for this situation.

  1. You have three boxes labelled Box #1, Box #2, and Box #3.   Initially each box contains 4 red balls and 4 green balls.  One ball is randomly selected from Box #1 and placed in Box #2 Then one ball is randomly selected from Box #2 and placed in Box #3. Then one ball is randomly selected from Box #3 and placed in Box #1.  At the conclusion of this process, what is the probability that that each box has the same  number of...

We randomly place 200 balls independently in 100 boxes in the most natural uniform way. That is, each ball is placed independently from the rest of the balls in such a way that the probability to put it into the i-th box is one-percent (1 ≤ i ≤ 100). Let X denote the number of empty boxes at the end. What is the expected value of X? I also want the numerical value.

A prize is randomly placed in one of 19 boxes, numbered from 1 to 19. You search for the prize by asking yes-no questions. Find the expected number of questions until you are sure about the location of the prize, under each of the following strategies. 1) An enumeration strategy: you ask questions of the form 'is it in box k?'. 2) A bisection strategy: you eliminate as close to half of the remaining boxes as possible by asking questions...
