Question: {Nt}t >= 0, Nt = 0 for t < T1, Nt = 1 for T1 <= t < T1 + T2, ... , where each Ti is exponentially distributed and {Nt}t>= 0 is a Poisson process with rate λ. Prove that Nλn/n converges to 1 in probability as n goes to infinity. Probably have to use weak law of large numbers.

  1. 2.1.14. Let X1, X2 be two random variables with joint pmf p(x1, x2) = (1/2)x1+x2 ,
    for 1 ≤ xi < ∞, i = 1, 2, where x1 and x2 are integers, zero elsewhere. Determine
    the joint mgf of X1, X2. Show that M(t1, t2) = M(t1, 0)M(0, t2).

  2. 2.2.6. Suppose X1 and X2 have the joint pdf fX1,X2 (x1, x2) = e−(x1+x2)
    , 0 < xi <
    ∞, i = 1, 2, zero elsewhere.
    (a) Use formula (2.2.2) to find the pdf of Y1 = X1 + X2.
    (b) Find the mgf of Y1.

Two friends A and B (each weighing 40 kg) are sitting on a frictionless platform some distance d apart. A rolls a ball of mass 4 kg on the platform towards B which B catches. Then B rolls the ball towards A and A catches it. The ball keeps on moving back and forth between A and B. The ball has a fixed speed of 5 m/s on the platform. (a) Find the speed of A after he rolls the ball for the first time. (b) Find the speed of A after he catches the ball for the first time. (c) Find the speeds of A and B after the ball has made 5 round trips and is held by A. (d) How many times can A roll the ball? (e) Where is the center of mass of the system "A+B+ball" at the end of the nth trip? ANSWER: (a) CASE - 1  => Total momentum of the man A and the ball will remain constant Therefore , 0 = 4 x 5 - 40 x v v = 0.5 m/s towards left (b) CASE - 2  => When B catches the ball , the momentum between the B and the ball will remain constant. 4 x 5 = 44v v =...
