The geometric distribution is memoryless. A random variable that is positive and integer valued satisfies the memoryless property. Prove that this random variable must have a geometric distribution.
Problem 2 Prove the following bound known as the Chemoff bound: Let X be a random variable with moment generating function X (s) defined for s > 0, Then for any a and any s > 0, Hint: To prove the bound apply Markov's inequality with X replaced by e) Apply the се Chemoff bound in case X is a standard normal random variable and a > 0. Find the value of s >0 that gives the sharpest bound, i.e,...
. (Markov’s Inequality) Let X be a non-negative random variable defined on the sample Ω i.e. X(s) ≥ 0 for all s ∈ Ω. Let a be some fixed positive number. (a) If you know nothing about the probability distribution of X, what can you say about P(X ≥ a)? (b) Now, if you know what the value of (E(X) = µ) is, can you say anything about P(X ≥ a)? Turns out something non-trivial can be said about this...
Let ? be a positive integer random variable with PMF of the form ??(?)=12⋅?⋅2−?,?=1,2,…. Once we see the numerical value of ?, we then draw a random variable ? whose (conditional) PMF is uniform on the set {1,2,…,2?}. 1.1 Write down an expression for the joint PMF ??,?(?,?). For ?=1,2,… and ?=1,2,…,2?: ??,?(?,?)=? 1.2 Find the marginal PMF ??(?) as a function of ?. For simplicity, provide the answer only for the case when ? is an even number. (The...
3. Suppose that X is a nonegative integer valued random variable. Show that E[X] = P(X ). Hint: Start with the formula EX= k= k, Now try to rearrange the terms. P(X = k) and for all positive integers k write
5. A non-negative valued continuous random variable X satisfies P(X > x +y|X > x) = P(X > y) > 0 for any x,y > 0. (a) Show that P(X > nx) = [P(X > x)]" and P(X > x/m) = [P(X > x)]1/m for positive integers n, m. (b) Show that X~ exponential() for some A > 0.

Let n be a non-negative integer. Letf() be such that f(x), f'(x).f"(x).,fn+exist, and are continuous, on an interval containing a. In this assignment, you will prove by induction on n that for any r in that interval f'(c) f"(c) fm (c) (t) (x -t)" dt. 7n n! 1.
