a) With a fixed probability of p for scoring three pointers, a basketball player takes 5 independent shots. What is the probability that he scores 1 shot in the first 3, and 1 again in the last 2 shots? b) In a series of indepedent and identically distributed Bernoulli trials, why is the index of the second successful trial not a geometric random variable? Explain.
(1 point) A random variable with probability density function p(x; 0) = 0x0–1 for 0 <x< 1 with unknown parameter 0 > 0 is sampled three times, yielding the values 0.64,0.65,0.54. Find each of the following. (Write theta for 0.) (a) The likelihood function L(0) = d (b) The derivative of the log-likelihood function [ln L(O)] = dᎾ (c) The maximum likelihood estimate for O is is Ô =
The probability that a player will get 6-11 questions right on a trivia quiz are shown below. (See table) Table 2: Player Proability X 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, P(X) 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.1, 0.15, 0.3 Find the mean. Find the variance. Find the standard deviation.
Information. Say that you have access to a biased coin that has probability of a head toss equal to P. You don't know P but would like to estimate it by tossing the coin n times, and observing the total number of head tosses H. Pis a random variable itself but you do not have access to its prior distribution. 36.) Given that you observe P, what is the conditional PMF of H Php(kp)? (%)p(1 - p)n-k . (n.) p*...
A machine releases a candy-bar with unknown probability q at a press of a button (each press is independent on others). Clearly, the number of attempts required to receive one bar is distributed according to Geo(q). Your sweet-tooth instructor wants n candy bars, which would take him an overall of Sn := X1 + X2 + . . . + Xn attempts. Here X1, . . . , Xn ∼ Geo(q) are independent. A) Find the moment estimator of q...

(2) In some sports (such as volleyball when I was in high school - scoring rules have changed) you can only score a point when it is your serve, and losing when it is your serve does not give up a point but only gives up the serve to your opponent. Suppose your probability of scoring on your serve is p (and of losing the serve is 1 − p) while your opponent’s probability of scoring on their serve is...
