Ignore, for simplicity, the possibility of being born on February 29th. Assume that a person is just as likely to be born on any one date as on any other date, excluding February 29th, of course. Suppose 253 people are picked at random. (We use 253 since e” = 1/2 almost exactly. Use 1/2 in your computations.) c. What is the expected number of different birthdays of the group? d. The expected number of days which are each the birthday...

Question 3. There are 100 types of coupons. Independently of the types of previously collected coupons, each new coupon is equally likely to be of any of the 100 types. If 200 coupons are collected, let X be the number of types of coupons that appear exactly twice in this collection. Find E[X] and Var(X) by using indicator variables and linearity of expectation.

A group has 7 people. Find the probability that 2 or more people in this group share the same birthday. (Assume a non-leap year with 365 days). Write each answer as a percent rounded to one decimal place, i.e. 16.8%. Do not include the percent symbol.

A group of 10 people simultaneously enter an elevator at the ground oor. There are 25 upper doors. The persons choose their exit doors independently of each other. Assume each person randomly chooses one of the 25 oors as the exit oor, and no other people enter the elevator at any of the 25 oors. What is the expected value of the number of stops the elevator will make?

Below is a list of properties that a group of people might possess. For each property, either give the minimum number of people that must be in a group to ensure that the property holds, or else indicate that the property need not hold even for arbitrarily large groups of people. (Assume that every year has exactly 365 days; ignore leap years.) (a) At least 2 people were born on the same day of the year (ignore year of birth)....

Using Splitting Property of Poisson distribution to solve this question: The number of people who enter an elevator on the ground floor is a Poisson random variable with mean 10. If there are N floors above the ground floor and if each person is equally likely to get off at any one of these N floors independently of where the others get off, compute the expected number of stops that the elevator will make before discharging all the passengers.

Five people have just won a $100 prize, and are deciding how to divide the $100 up between them. Assume that whole dollars are used, not cents. Also, for example, giving $50 to first person and $10 to the second is different from vice versa. (a) How many ways are there to divide up the $100, such that each gets at least $10? // why is it (54 choose 4) and not (50 choose 4)? (b) Assume that the $100...

People arrive according to a Poisson process with rate λ, with each person independently being equally likely to be either a man or a woman. If a woman (man) arrives when there is at least one man (woman) waiting, then the woman (man) departs with one of the waiting men (women). If there is no member of the opposite sex waiting upon a person’s arrival, then that person waits. Let X(t) denote the number waiting at time t. Argue that...

Suppose that the fraction of infected people in a city is p = 0.01. 100 people from the city board a small cruise. You can assume that the people are unrelated to each other and randomly chosen so that each person is infected independently with probability p. You can also ignore the possibility that they infect each other while boarding. Suppose that the virus test gives negative when the person has the virus with probability 0.2, and gives negative when...
