Estimation

A new framework of data analysis where the new statistical methods are used for interpreting the results and analyzing the data is known as estimation in statistics.

Question

1. Let (X) be a simple random walk that starts from Xo = 0 and on each step goes up one with
%3D
probability p and down one with probability q = 1 – p.
Calculate:
(a) P(X, = 0),
(b) EX.,
(c) Var(X6),
(d) E(X10 | X4 = 4).
(e) P(X19 = 0 | Xg = 2),
(f) P(X, = 2| X 10 = 6).
Consider the case p = 0.6, so q = 0.4.
(g) What are EX100
and Var(X100)?
(h) Using a normal approximation, estimate P(16 S X100 S 26). You should use an appropriate
"continuity correction", and explain why you chose it. (Bear in mind the possible values X00 can
take.)
