11.) The price of one share of stock in the Pilsdorff Beer Company (see Exercise 8.2.12) is given by Yn on the nth day of the year. Finn observes that the differences Xn = Yn+1 − Yn appear to be independent random variables with a common distribution having mean µ = 0 and variance σ 2 = 1/4. If Y1 = 100, estimate the probability that Y365 ...

1. 1. Let X1, X2, . . . , Xn be n mutually independent random variables, each ofwhich is uniformly distributed on the integers from 1 to k. Let Y denote the minimum of the Xi’s. Find the distribution of Y . This question was way over my head. I thought about it a while and looked a lot online. It is most likely incorrect Find the distributio...

1. A bag contains 5 green and 7 red jellybeans. How many ways can 5 jellybeans be withdrawn from the bag so that the number of green ones withdrawn will be less than 2? There are two scenerios in which the number of green jellybeans will be less than 2: Scenerio 1) There are no green jellybeans withdrawn Scenerio 2) There is one green jellybea...

#install.packages("epiR") library(epiR) 1. A new test for multinucleoside-resistant (MNR) human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) variants was recently developed. The test maintains 96% sensitivity, meaning that, for those with the disease, it will correctly report “positive” for 96% of them. The test is also 98% specific, meaning that...
