Show that P(B A) 0.5. (b) (6 poits) Suppose we are give three differet dice. The first die is fair, i.e. the probability to obtai a six is. The secod ad the third die are biased. The 6 probability to obtai a six with the secod die is ad the probability to obtai a six with the third die is. Suppose that oe of the three dice is chose at radom ad tossed. Moreover, suppose that we get a six. Calculate the probability that the fair die was chose. Solutio (a) We calculate which leads to Therefore we get P(A c B c ) P(A c ) + P(B c ) = = 0.7, P(A B) = P(A c B c ) 0.7 = 0.3. P(B A) = P(A B) P(A) = 0.5. (b) We defie the followig four evets: A := first die was chose, B := secod die was chose, C := third die was chose, 6 := we obtaied a six, i.e. we have to calculate P(A 6 ). We kow from the problem formulatio that P(A) = P(B) = P(C) = 3 ad that P( 6 A) = 6, P( 6 B) = ad P( 6 C) =. We apply Bayes Theorem to get P( 6 A) P(A) P(A 6 ) = P( 6 A) P(A) + P( 6 B) P(B) + P( 6 C) P(C) = = =

Hece we ca coclude P(X c) = E[ {X c} ] E [ ] g(x) g(c) = E[g(X)]. g(c) (b) We defie Y := X E[X] ad g(x) := x as a fuctio from [0, ) to [0, ). The g is a icreasig fuctio with g(x) > 0 for all x > 0 ad Hece we get E[g(Y )] = E[(X E[X]) )] = Var(X). P( X E[X] c) = P(Y c) E[g(Y )] g(c) = Var(X) c, where for the iequality we used the result i (a).

Solutio (a) For ɛ, we get For 0 < ɛ <, we get P( X 0 > ɛ) = P(X > ɛ) = 0, for all. P( X 0 > ɛ) = P(X > ɛ) = P(X = ) = 0. (b) Let y (0, ) ad. The, usig the i.i.d.-property of Y,..., Y ad the defiitio of the distributio fuctio of a uiform distributio o [0, ], we calculate P(M > y) = P(mi{Y,..., Y } > y) = P(Y > y,..., Y > y) = = P(Y > y) = ( y). P(Y i > y) i= Usig this result, we get P(M > y) = = ( y) = = y ( y) = y <. Due to the first Borel-Catelli Lemma, we get P(M > y for ifiitely may ) = 0. This implies that lim M y almost surely. Sice y was chose arbitrarily i (0, ), we ca coclude that M coverges to 0 almost surely, as.

Solutio (a) Sice X ad Y both have a Expoetial()-distributio, their correspodig desities f X ad f Y are f X (x) = f Y (x) = e x {x 0}. Moreover, sice X ad Y are idepedet, the joit desity f X,Y vector (X, Y ) is give by (b) We defie The ( ) X = B X + Y f X,Y (x, y) = f X (x)f Y (y) = e (x+y) {x,y 0}. B := ( ) X, B = Y ( ) 0. ( ) 0 ad det(b) =. of the radom By the Trasformatio Theorem, we get for the joit desity f X,T of the radom vector (X, T ) ( ( )) x f X,T (x, t) = det(b) f X,Y B t = f X,Y (x, t x) = e (x+t x) {x,t x 0} = e t {t x 0}.

The bus stop is o his way to the office. Every morig Peter arrives at a radom time betwee 7:0 ad 7:0 at the bus stop. Likewise, also the bus arrives at the stop at a radom time betwee 7:0 ad 7:0. Let X Ui([0, 0]) model the arrival time of Peter at the bus stop i miutes after 7:00 ad Y Ui([0, 0]) model the arrival time of the bus at the bus stop i miutes after 7:00. Moreover, we assume that the arrival time of Peter ad the arrival time of the bus at the bus stop are idepedet, i.e. that X ad Y are idepedet. (a) (5 poits) Suppose that whe Peter arrives at the bus stop, he waits for at most five miutes: If the bus arrives withi these five miutes, he takes the bus, otherwise he walks to the office. Calculate the probability that Peter takes the bus. (b) (5 poits) Show that E [ ] X Y > without calculatig it. Ca we coclude that, o average, Peter arrives at the bus stop later tha the bus? Solutio (a) Sice X ad Y are idepedet, uiformly o [0, 0] distributed radom variables, the joit desity f X,Y of (X, Y ) is give by f X,Y (x, y) = 0 {x [0,0]} 0 {y [0,0]} = 00 {x,y [0,0]}. Peter takes the bus if ad oly if X Y X + 5. Thus, we calculate P( Peter takes the bus ) = P(X Y X + 5) = = 0 x+5 0 x 5 x+5 0 = 00 x 5 0 = = = 3 8. f X,Y (x, y) dydx 00 dydx x 0 00 dydx (x + 5 x) dx + (0 x) dx 00 5 [00 ] (400 5) (b) Note that Y is o-determiistic, takes values i [0, 0] ad that the fuctio x /x is strictly covex o [0, 0]. Hece we ca apply Jese s iequality to get E [ ] [ ] X = E[X] E > E[X] Y Y E[Y ] =,
10 Probability ad Statistics Secod Sessio Exam - Page 0 of where we used i the first equality that X ad Y are idepedet ad i the secod equality that X ad Y have the same distributio. We ca ot coclude from this iequality that, o average, Peter arrives at the bus stop later tha the bus. Sice X ad Y have the same distributio, we also have E[X] = E[Y ].

Assume that we have a prior distributio for θ, which is the stadard ormal distributio. Moreover, suppose that i a experimet we observe that X = x. (a) (7 poits) Show that the posterior distributio of θ give X = x is the ormal distributio with mea x ad variace. (b) (3 poits) Determie the Maximum a Posteriori estimate of θ give X = x. Solutio (a) The desity f X θ=ϑ of X θ = ϑ is give by The desity f θ of θ is give by f X θ=ϑ (x ϑ) = π e (x ϑ). f θ (ϑ) = π e ϑ. Hece for the joit desity f X,θ of X ad θ we get f X,θ (x, ϑ) = f X θ=ϑ (x ϑ)f θ (ϑ) = π π e (x ϑ) ϑ = π π e (ϑ xϑ+ x ) = π π e (ϑ x) 4 x. The margial desity f X of X is obtaied by itegratig the joit desity f X,θ (x, ϑ) with respect to ϑ: f X (x) = R f X,θ (x, ϑ) dϑ = e 4 x e (ϑ x) dϑ = e 4 x π R π π. Coditioed o X = x, θ has the desity f θ X=x (ϑ x) = f X,θ(x, ϑ) f X (x) = e (ϑ x). π We coclude that θ X = x N ( x, ).

Suppose X is a radom variable with desity f θ give by { (θ + )x θ+ if 0 x, f θ (x) = 0 else. Let (X i ) i be idepedet, idetically distributed radom variables with the same distributio as X. Show that the Maximum Likelihood Esti- (a) (7 poits) Let us cosider X,..., X. mator (MLE) ˆθ MLE (X,..., X ) of θ is ˆθ MLE (X,..., X ) = i= log(x i). (b) (3 poits) For the radom variable X oe ca show that E[log(X)] = θ + ad Var[log(X)] <. Use these two results to show that ˆθ MLE (X,..., X ) give i (a) coverges almost surely to θ, as. Solutio (a) The likelihood fuctio L(θ) is give by L(θ) = f θ (X i ) = i= (θ + )X θ+ i {0 Xi } = (θ + )X θ+ i, i= sice X,..., X oly take values i [0, ]. By takig the logarithm, we get the log-likelihood fuctio [ ] l(θ) = log[l(θ)] = log (θ + )X θ+ i = [log(θ + ) + (θ + )log(x i )]. We the have i= i= i= ˆθ MLE (X,..., X ) = arg max L(θ) = arg max l(θ). θ> θ> We fid the maximum of l(θ) o (, ) by differetiatig l(θ) ad settig the derivative equal to zero. We have θ l(θ) = [ ] [log(θ + ) + (θ + )log(x i )] = θ θ + + log(x i) i= = θ + + log(x i ) i= i=
14 Probability ad Statistics Secod Sessio Exam - Page 4 of ad θ + + log(x i ) = 0 i= Sice [ ] θ l(θ) = θ θ + + log(x i ) i= θ + = θ = log(x i ) i= i= log(x i). = < 0 for all θ >, (θ + ) l(θ) is strictly cocave o (, ). Therefore the uique root of the log-likelihood fuctio foud above is ideed the locatio of the maximum of the log-likelihood fuctio. Hece we have foud ˆθ MLE (X,..., X ) = i= log(x i). (b) Sice [log(x i )] i are i.i.d. radom variables ad Var[log(X)] < accordig to the hit, we ca apply the Strog Law of Large Numbers to get i= almost surely, as, ad thus almost surely, as. log(x i ) E[log(X)] = θ + ˆθ MLE (X,..., X ) θ+ = θ

Suppose that X,..., X 6 are idepedet, ormally distributed radom variables with ukow mea µ ad variace σ = 3 ad that we made the followig observatios: X = 0, X =, X 3 =, X 4 = 9, X 5 = 3, X 6 =. A meteorologist claims that the expected aual average temperature is 0. We will ivestigate this statemet usig a z-test with sigificace level α = To begi with, we defie the ull hypothesis ad the alterative hypothesis as H 0 : µ = 0, H : µ 0. (a) (4 poits) Write dow a test statistic T that depeds o X,..., X 6 ad such that T N (0, ) uder H 0. (b) (4 poits) Let P 0 deote the probability measure uder H 0. Fid q > 0 such that P 0 (T [ q, q ]) = α. Hit: You may use the table for the stadard ormal distributio to read off q i the ed. (c) ( poits) Ca we reject H 0 o the basis of the six observatios 0,,, 9, 3, usig a sigificace level of α = 0.05? Solutio (a) We defie X := 6 6 i= X iid i. Sice X,..., X 6 N ( 0, ) 3 uder H0, we have that X is agai ormally distributed with E [ X] = 6 6 i= uder H 0. If we the defie E[X i ] = 0 ad Var ( X) = 36 6 Var(X i ) = 4 i= T := T (X,..., X 6 ) := X E [ X] Var ( X) = X 0 = X 0, we have that T N (0, ) uder H 0. (b) Let q > 0. Sice the ormal distributio is symmetric, we ca calculate P 0 (T [ q, q]) = P 0 (T q) P 0 (T < q) = P 0 (T q) P 0 (T > q) = P 0 (T q) ( P 0 (T q)) = P 0 (T q). Therefore we ca deduce that P 0 (T [ q, q]) = α P 0 (T q) = α P 0 (T q) = α.

Checkig the table for the stadard ormal distributio, we fid q =.96. (c) We use the observatios give i the exercise to calculate T (0,,, 9, 3, ) = 66 0 =. 6 Sice > q =.96, we reject H 0 o the basis of the six observatios 0,,, 9, 3, usig a sigificace level of α = 0.05.

For all i, we defie { if we get head i the i-th throw, X i := 0 if we get tail i the i-th throw. Moreover, we defie X := i= X i. Fially, let α (0, ) ad Φ be the stadard ormal distributio fuctio. Use the Cetral Limit Theorem to show that [ ( ) X Φ ( )] α, X + Φ α is a approximate ( α)-cofidece iterval for p. Hit: The cofidece iterval resultig from the Cetral Limit Theorem approximatio will deped o p. Sice a cofidece iterval for p is ot allowed to deped o p, you will have to maximize the iterval with respect to p to get boudaries that do ot deped o p aymore. Solutio We have that X,..., X iid Ber(p), hece E [ X] = i= E[X i ] = p ad Var ( X) = Accordig to the Cetral Limit Theorem, we have Var(X i ) = i= p( p). X E [ X] Var ( X) = X p p( p) N (0, ). Let Z N (0, ) ad q > 0. Sice the ormal distributio is symmetric, we ca calculate Thus, we have { P Z P(Z [ q, q]) = P(Z q) P(Z < q) = P(Z q) P(Z > q) [ Φ ( α = P(Z q) ( P(Z q)) = P(Z q) = Φ(q). ) (, Φ α )]} ( = Φ [Φ α )] = α. Therefore, P X p p( p) ( [ Φ α ) (, Φ α )] α,

Sice a cofidece iterval of p is ot allowed to deped o p, we have to maximize p( p) = p p with respect to p. We have p (p p ) = 0 p = ad p (p p ) = < 0. Hece, ( p( ) p) is a strictly cocave fuctio o [0, ] with a uique maximum of = at p =. We coclude that 4 [ ( ) X Φ ( )] α, X + Φ α is a approximate ( α)-cofidece iterval for p.
