Suppose that a person plays a game in which he draws a ball from a box of 10 balls numbered 0 through 9. He then puts the ball back and continue to draw a ball (with replacement) until he draws another number which is equal or higher than the first draw. Let X denote the number drawn in the first draw and Y denote the number of subsequent draws needed.


(a) Find the conditional probability distribution of Y given X = x, for x = 0, 1, · · · , 9.
(b) Find the joint probability distribution of X and Y , P(X = x, Y = y).
(c) Find the probability distribution of Y , P(Y = y).
(d) Find E(Y ).

Joe Smith plays a betting game with his friends. He puts in one dollar to join the game. If he wins the game, he gets $2. If he loses, he gets nothing, so his gain is –$1. Joe Smith is planning to play the game 100 times. The 100 outcomes will be independent of one another. Let Vi, i = 1, 2, ..., 100 be the 100 outcomes. Then each Vi has the same probability distribution: v -1 1 p(v)...
