Assume that two sequences of random variables Xn and Yn, which converge in mean square to the random variables X and Y, respectively. = a. Let Vn aXn and Wn - BYn. Do the sequences {Vn} and {Wn} converge individually in mean square? Either prove that they always converge in mean- square sense and provide the limit, or find counter- examples that show that they do not always converge in mean-square sense. b. Let us construct a sequence Un = aXn + BYn. Does the sequence Un converge in mean square sense? Either prove that it always converges in mean-square sense and provide the limit, or find a counter- example that shows that it does not always converge in mean-square sense.

A coin comes up heads with probability p and tails with probability q = 1 - p. For the moment, assume that p is a constant. Prove the expected number of coin flips needed to produce the pattern HT for the very first time is +1. Hint: TTTTTH|HHHHHHHT requires 14 flips to generate the pattern HT. The TTTTTH part before the produces the first H, and the HHHHHHHT part after the | produces the first T after that first H. Prove that the expected number of coin flips needed to produce the pattern HH for the first +2. time is 1 Hint: Define a random variable X to track the number of flips needed to produce the pattern HH for the very first time, and use the Law of Total Expectation: E[X] = E[X|last flip produced H]p + E[X|last flip produced Tjq Now assume p is no longer a constant but rather a random variable that behaves as p~ Beta(4, 7)? What's the expected number of flips for part b now? Recall that B(a, b) is the normalization constant in place so that Beta(a, b) is a valid random variable…
