Probability Calculus 2020/2021, Homework 4 (two problems)
Name and Surname ... Student’s number ...
In the problems below, please use the following: as k – the sum of digits in your student’s number; as m – the sum of the two largest digits in your student’s number;
and as n – the smallest digit in your student’s number plus 1. For example, if an index number is 609999: k = 42, m = 18, n = 1.
Please write down the solutions (transformations, substitutions etc.), and additio- nally provide the final answer in the space specified (the answer should be a number in decimal notation, rounded to four digits).
5. Let X be a random variable with density g(x) = anax−a−11[n,∞)(x), where a is a positive parameter. Find a, knowing that P(X ≤ k) = 1/m.
ANSWER:
Solution:
6. We draw a ball m times, without replacement, from a box with k balls numbered 1 to k. Let X denote the maximum number obtained. Find the lowest quantile of rank m+nm / mk for X.
Hint: It helps if you calculate P(X ≤ t) first.
