I randomly pick two integers from 1 to n without replacement (n a positive integer). Let X be the maximum of the two numbers.
(a) Find the probability mass function of X.
(b) Find E(X) and simplify as much as possible (use formulas for the sum and sum of squares of the first n integers which you can find online).

1. (Integers: primes, divisibility, parity.) (a) Let n be a positive integer. Prove that two numbers na +3n+6 and n2 + 2n +7 cannot be prime at the same time. (b) Find 15261527863698656776712345678%5 without using a calculator. (c) Let a be an integer number. Suppose a%2 = 1. Find all possible values of (4a +1)%6. 2. (Integers: %, =) (a) Suppose a, b, n are integer numbers and n > 0. Prove that (a+b)%n = (a%n +B%n)%n. (b) Let a,...
Let n be a positive integer. For each possible pair i, j of integers with 1 sisi<n, find an n x n matrix A with the property that 1 is an eigenvalue of A with g(1) = i and a(1) = j.
Let n be a positive integer. For each possible pair i, j of integers with 1<i<i <n, find an n xn matrix A with the property that 1 is an eigenvalue of A with g(1) = i and a(1) = j.
Two cards are randomly drawn (without replacement) from an ordinary deck of 52 play- ing cards. Let W be the number of aces obtained in the first draw, and Z be the number of pairs obtained in the two draws. a) Find the joint probability mass function of W and Z b) Are W and Z independent? Please justify your answer.
Prove: If n and a are positive integers and n=(a^2+ 1)/2, then n is the sum of the squares of two consecutive integers (that is, n=k^2+ (k+1)^2 for some integer k).
3. From the set 1,2,.. 10 we randomly draw, without replacement, two numbers. Let X be the smaller and Y the larger of the two values. Calculate E(XY) and E(XY X|X).
Two cards are drawn without replacement from an ordinary deck. Find the probability that the second is a face card, given that the first is a jack. The probability is . (Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
Two cards are drawn without replacement from an ordinary deck. Find the probability that two kings are drawn. The probability is (Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
Two cards are drawn without replacement from an ordinary deck. Find the probability that two clubs are drawn. The probability is (Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
Problem 2. Let n be a positive integer. We sample n numbers ai,...,an from the set 1, 2,...,n} uniformly at random, with replacement. Say that the picks i and j with i < j are a match if a -aj. What is the expected total number of matches? Hint: Use indicators. Wİ
