1 CS 70 Secod Midter 7 April 2011 NAME (1 pt): SID (1 pt): TA (1 pt): Nae of Neighbor to your left (1 pt): Nae of Neighbor to your right (1 pt): Istructios: This is a closed book, closed calculator, closed coputer, closed etwork, ope brai exa, but you are peritted a 1 page, double-sided set of otes, large eough to read without a agifyig glass. You get oe poit each for fillig i the 5 lies at the top of this page. Each other questio is worth 20 poits. Write all your aswers o this exa. If you eed scratch paper, ask for it, write your ae o each sheet, ad attach it whe you tur it i (we have a stapler) Total Aswers 1
2 Questio 1 (20 poits). For full credit explai your aswers. Part 1 (10 poits). Pick a rado iteger i the rage fro 0 to 9,999,999, each with equal probability. What is the probability that the decial digits of add up to 9? Fill i your aswer i the box below. P Aswer: We eed to cout the uber of ways you ca order 9 stars ad 6 bars, with the uber of stars betwee bars i ad i + 1 beig the value of decial digit i + 1: C(15, 6) 15!/(6!9!). (If the sequece starts (eds) with stars, these deterie the value of the first (last) decial digit.) The we divide by the uber of possible 7-digit ubers, 10 7, to get the aswer C(15, 6)/10 7. Part 2 (5 poits). What is the probability that the decial digits of add up to 10? Fill i your aswer i the box below. P Aswer: This is ot exactly stars-ad-bars with 10 stars ad 6 bars, because if all 10 stars ed up betwee two cosecutive bars, we ca t represet this as a sigle decial digit. So we eed to subtract out these C(7,1) 7 possibilities, yieldig (C(16, 6) 7)/10 7. Part 3 (5 poits). What is the probability that the decial digits of add up to 11? Fill i your aswer i the box below. P Aswer: Agai, this is ot exactly stars-ad-bars with 11 stars ad 6 bars, because we eed to subtract out the cases where oe digit (group of cosecutive stars) is 10 (ad oe other is 1) or oe digit is 11: The uber of ways oe digit could be 10 ad aother 1 is , ad the uber of ways oe digit could be 11 is 7, yieldig (C(17, 6) 42 7))/

(If the sequece starts (eds) with stars, these deterie the value of the first (last) decial digit.) The we divide by the uber of possible 8-digit ubers, 10 8, to get the aswer C(16, 7)/10 8. Part 2 (5 poits). What is the probability that the decial digits of add up to 10? Fill i your aswer i the box below.

P Aswer: Agai, this is ot exactly stars-ad-bars with 11 stars ad 7 bars, because we eed to subtract out the cases where oe digit (group of cosecutive stars) is 10 (ad oe other is 1) or oe digit is 11: The uber of ways oe digit could be 10 ad aother 1 is , ad the uber of ways oe digit could be 11 is 8, yieldig (C(18, 7) 56 8))/

Every achie of oe color results i a wi 10% of the tie, ad every achie of the other color results i a wi 25% of the tie. (A wi is whe the achie returs oey).

8 Questio 4 ( 20 poits ) Bioial Distributio. 4.1 (10 poits). Suppose X is a rado variable that ca take positive iteger values 0, 1,..., ad β is soe real uber such that 0 β 1. Distributio of X is give by the followig recurrece relatio: { (1 β) for k 0 P (X k) β 1 β k+1 k P (X k 1) for k 1, 2,..., Use iductio to prove that X is actually a bioially distributed rado variable. What are the paraeters of the bioial distributio? What is E(X)? Aswer: We clai that X Bi(, β). I order to prove the clai, we have to show that the give recurrece relatio ca be siplified to the stadard for of the bioial distributio. I other words, we have to show that for all k 0, 1,..., We will use iductio to prove it. P (X k) ( k ) β k (1 β) k Base case (k 0): P (X 0) ( ) β 0 (1 β) 0 (1 β) Iductio Hypothesis: P (X k) ( ) k β k (1 β) k for all 0 k t, ad for soe t where 0 t <. As the iductio step, we ow have to show that ( ) P (X t + 1) β t+1 (1 β) (t+1) t + 1 Pluggig k t + 1 i the give recurrece relatio, we get P (X t + 1) β 1 β t t + 1 ( β 1 β t t + 1 P (X t) ) β t (1 β) t [by iductio hypothesis] t β 1 β t t + 1! t!( t)! βt (1 β) t! (t + 1)!( t 1)! βt+1 (1 β) t 1 ( ) β t+1 (1 β) (t+1) t + 1 Hece, X Bi(, β), i.e. paraeters of the bioial distributio are ad β. Usig stadard result, we ca write E(X) β. 8
9 4.2 (10 poits). You have two boxes A ad B, each cotaiig balls. You radoly pick oe box ad the take oe ball out of it. You cotiue this process util you pick a box ad fid it epty. Suppose X is the uber of balls that reai i the other box whe you stop. If probability of pickig A ad B are p ad 1 p respectively, write dow the distributio of X i ters of ad p. Aswer: The evet {X k} eas that you ed up pickig a epty box ad the other box cotais k balls at that iteratio. There are two possible cases, viz. you pick box A ad fid it epty while box B cotais k balls, or you pick box B ad fid it epty while box A cotais k balls. X is, therefore, a iteger-valued rado variable that rages over {0, 1,..., }. Let A k deote the evet that you pick box A, fid it epty, but still there are k balls i box B. Siilarly, let B k deote the evet that you pick box B, fid it epty, but still there are k balls i box A. Therefore, we ca write P (X k) P (A k ) + P (B k ) Now, evet A k oly happes after you picked up exactly + k 2 k balls, all balls fro box A ad k balls fro box B i soe order, ad the pick box A agai (which is epty by ow) at the (2 k + 1)-th iteratio. Probability of takig out all balls fro box A ad k balls fro box B i 2 k iteratios is ( ) 2 k p (1 p) k ad probability of choosig box A i the (2 k + 1)-th iteratio is p. Therefore, ( ) 2 k P (A k ) p (1 p) k p ( ) 2 k p +1 (1 p) k Siilarly, P (B k ) ( ) 2 k p k (1 p) (1 p) ( ) 2 k p k (1 p) +1 Hece, the required distributio of X is (for all k 0, 1,..., ), P (X k) P (A k ) + P (B k ) ( ) ( 2 k 2 k p +1 (1 p) k + ( 2 k ) p k (1 p) +1 ) (p +1 (1 p) k + p k (1 p) +1 ) 9
10 Questio 4 ( 20 poits ) Bioial Distributio. 4.1 (10 poits). Suppose X is a rado variable that ca take positive iteger values 0, 1,..., ad µ is soe real uber such that 0 µ 1. Distributio of X is give by the followig recurrece relatio: { (1 µ) for k 0 P (X k) µ 1 µ k+1 k P (X k 1) for k 1, 2,..., Use iductio to prove that X is actually a bioially distributed rado variable. What are the paraeters of the bioial distributio? What is E(X)? Aswer: We clai that X Bi(, µ). I order to prove the clai, we have to show that the give recurrece relatio ca be siplified to the stadard for of the bioial distributio. I other words, we have to show that for all k 0, 1,..., ( ) P (X k) µ k (1 µ) k k We will use iductio to prove it. Base case (k 0): P (X 0) ( ) µ 0 (1 µ) 0 (1 µ) Iductio Hypothesis: P (X k) ( k) µ k (1 µ) k for all 0 k t, ad for soe t where 0 t <. As the iductio step, we ow have to show that ( ) P (X t + 1) µ t+1 (1 µ) (t+1) t + 1 Pluggig k t + 1 i the give recurrece relatio, we get P (X t + 1) µ 1 µ t t + 1 µ 1 µ t t + 1 ( t P (X t) ) µ t (1 µ) t [by iductio hypothesis] µ 1 µ t t + 1! t!( t)! µt (1 µ) t! (t + 1)!( t 1)! µt+1 (1 µ) t 1 ( ) µ t+1 (1 µ) (t+1) t + 1 Hece, X Bi(, µ), i.e. paraeters of the bioial distributio are ad µ. Usig stadard result, we ca write E(X) µ. 10
11 4.2 (10 poits). You have two boxes R ad S, each cotaiig balls. You radoly pick oe box ad the take oe ball out of it. You cotiue this process util you pick a box ad fid it epty. Suppose Y is the uber of balls that reai i the other box whe you stop. If probability of pickig R ad S are q ad 1 q respectively, write dow the distributio of Y i ters of ad q. Aswer: The evet {Y k} eas that you ed up pickig a epty box ad the other box cotais k balls at that iteratio. There are two possible cases, viz. you pick box R ad fid it epty while box S cotais k balls, or you pick box S ad fid it epty while box R cotais k balls. Y is, therefore, a iteger-valued rado variable that rages over {0, 1,..., }. Let R k deote the evet that you pick box R, fid it epty, but still there are k balls i box S. Siilarly, let S k deote the evet that you pick box S, fid it epty, but still there are k balls i box R. Therefore, we ca write P (Y k) P (R k ) + P (S k ) Now, evet R k oly happes after you picked up exactly + k 2 k balls, all balls fro box R ad k balls fro box S i soe order, ad the pick box R agai (which is epty by ow) at the (2 k +1)-th iteratio. Probability of takig out all balls fro box R ad k balls fro box S i 2 k iteratios is ( ) 2 k q (1 q) k ad probability of choosig box R i the (2 k + 1)-th iteratio is q. Therefore, ( ) 2 k P (R k ) q (1 q) k q ( ) 2 k q +1 (1 q) k Siilarly, P (S k ) ( ) 2 k q k (1 q) (1 q) ( ) 2 k q k (1 q) +1 Hece, the required distributio of Y is (for all k 0, 1,..., ), P (Y k) P (R k ) + P (S k ) ( ) ( 2 k 2 k q +1 (1 q) k + ( 2 k ) q k (1 q) +1 ) (q +1 (1 q) k + q k (1 q) +1 ) 11

Let A be the su of the values that coe up o these two dice. 5.1 (5 poits) What is the expected value of A?
