Describe in Detail

Let X ₁, X ₂, …, X _n be a sequence of i. i. d. r. v. s with E (X _i) = 0 and V (X _i) = 1. Show that the sequence tends to 1 in probability.

Describe in Detail

The ith box contains 2i white balls and 6 - 2i black balls, i = 1 (1) 3. A fair die is cast once. 3 balls are taken at random from box 1, box 2 or box 3 according as the die shows up face 1, any of 2 and 3, or any of 4, 5 and 6, respectively. Let X denotes the number of white balls drawn. Find E (X).

Describe in Detail

Items from a large lot are examined one by one until r items with a rare manufacturing defect are found. The proportion of items with this type of defect in the lot is known to be p. Let X denote the number of items needed to be examined. Derive the probability distribution of X, and find E (X).
