5. Let X be a positive random variable with finite variance, and let A = (0, 1).
Prove that
P(X AEX) 2 (1-A)² (EX)²
EX2
6. Let, for p = (0, 1), and xe R. X be a random variable defined as follows:
P(X=-x) = P(X = x)=p. P(X=0)= 1-2p.
Show that there is equality in Chebyshev's inequality for X.
This means that Chebyshev's inequality, in spite of being rather crude, cannot be
improved without additional assumptions.
4. Prove that, for any random variable X, the minimum of EIX-al is attained for
a = med (X).

- 8. Recall, from Sect. 2.16.4, the likelihood ratio statistic, Ln, which was defined as a product of independent, identically distributed random variables with mean 1 (under the so-called null hypothesis), and the, sometimes more convenient, log-likelihood, log L, which was a sum of independent, identically distributed random variables, which, however, do not have mean log 1 = 0. (a) Verify that the last claim is correct, by proving the more general statement, namely that, if Y is a non-negative random variable with finite mean, then E(log Y) log(EY). (b) Prove that, in fact, there is strict inequality: E(log Y) < log(EY), unless Y is degenerate. (c) Review the proof of Jensen's inequality, Theorem 5.1. Generalize with a glimpse on (b).arrow_forward2. Derive the component transformation equations for tensors shown be- low where [C] = [BA] is the direction cosine matrix from frame A to B. B[T] = [C]^[T][C]T 3. The transport theorem for vectors shows that the time derivative can be constructed from two parts: the first is an explicit frame-dependent change of the vector whereas the second is an active rotational change of the vector. The same holds true for tensors. Starting from the previous result, derive a version of transport theorem for tensors.

- The college hiking club is having a fundraiser to buy new equipment for fall and winter outings. The club is selling Chinese fortune cookies at a price of $2 per cookie. Each cookie contains a piece of paper with a different number written on it. A random drawing will determine which number is the winner of a dinner for two at a local Chinese restaurant. The dinner is valued at $32. Since fortune cookies are donated to the club, we can ignore the cost of the cookies. The club sold 718 cookies before the drawing. Lisa bought 13 cookies. Lisa's expected earnings can be found by multiplying the value of the dinner by the probability that she will win. What are Lisa's expected earnings? Round your answer to the nearest cent.arrow_forwardThe Honolulu Advertiser stated that in Honolulu there was an average of 659 burglaries per 400,000 households in a given year.

- What was the age distribution of nurses in Great Britain at the time of Florence Nightingale? Thanks to Florence Nightingale and the British census of 1851, we have the following information (based on data from the classic text Notes on Nursing, by Florence Nightingale). Note: In 1851 there were 25,466 nurses in Great Britain. Furthermore, Nightingale made a strict distinction between nurses and domestic servants. Use a histogram and graph the probability distribution. Using the graph of the probability distribution determine the probability that a British nurse selected at random in 1851 would be 40 years of age or older. Round your answer to nearest thousandth.
