As $n$ increases, the {\it proportion} of heads gets closer to 1/2,
but the {\it difference} between the number of heads and half the
number of flips tends to increase (although it will occasionally be
0).

The graph of winnings for betting on a color is much smoother (i.e. has
smaller fluctuations) than the graph for betting on a number.
\endNE\NE
\e{8}%exer 1.1.8
For two tosses both probabilities are
$1/2$.  For four tosses they are both $6/16$.  They
are, in fact, the same for any even number of tosses.  (This is not 
at all obvious; see Chapter 12 for a discussion of this and related
topics.)
\endNE\NE
\e{9}%exer 1.1.9
Each time you win, you either
win an amount that you have already lost or one of the
original numbers 1,2,3,4, and hence your net winning is
just the sum of these four numbers.  This is not a
foolproof system, since you may reach a point where you
have to bet more money than you have. If you and the bank
had unlimited resources it would be foolproof.
\endNE\NE

You are very likely to win 5 dollars, but we shall see that this is 
still an unfair game, so we might say that Thackeray was right.

For two tosses, the probabilities that Peter wins 0 and 2 are 1/2 and
1/4, respectively.  For four tosses, the probabilities that Peter wins
0, 2, and 4 are 3/8, 1/4, and 1/16, respectively.

About 1/2 the time you win 2, 1/4 of the time you win 4, 1/8 of
the time you win 8, etc. If you add up all of these potential 
winnings, weighted by their probabilities, you get $\infty$, so
it would seem that you should be willing to pay quite a lot to play 
this game.  Few are willing to pay more than \$10.

In about 25 percent of the games the player will have

In the case of having children until they have a boy, they
should have about 200{,}000 children.  In the case that they

The left-side is the sum of
the probabilities of all elements in one of the three sets.
For the right side, if an outcome is in all three sets its
probability is added three times, then subtracted three
times,\ then added once,\ so in the final sum it is counted
just once.  An element that is in exactly two sets is
added twice, then subtracted once, and so it is counted
correctly.  Finally, an element in exactly one set is
counted only once by the right side.

We would have to have the
same probability assigned to all outcomes.  If this
probability is 0, the sum of the probabilities would be 0
so that $P(\Omega) = 0$ instead of 1 as it should be.  If
this common probability is $a > 0$, then the sum of all the
probabilities of the first $n$ outcomes would be $na$ and for
large enough $n$ this would be greater than 1, contradicting
the requirement that the sum of the probabilities for all
possible outcomes should be 1.

because if the subjects are thinking about probabilities
they should realize that $$P(\hbox{Linda is bank teller

\itemitem{\hskip 10pt}(b){ $P_3(N) =$}
${{[{N\over 3}]}\over N}$, where
$[{N\over3}]$ is the greatest integer in
 ${N\over 3}$.  Note that $${N\over 3} - 1
\le \biggl[{N\over 3}\biggr] \le {N\over 3}\ .$$

\itemitem{}From this we see that $$P_3 = \lim_{N\to\infty}
P_3(N) = {1\over 3}\ .$$

\itemitem{}(c)  If $A$ is a finite set with  $K$ 
elements then $${A(N)\over N}\le
{K\over N}\ ,$$
\noindent so $$\lim_{N\to\infty}{A(N)\over N} = 0\ .$$


\itemitem{}On the other hand, if $A$ is the set of all positive
integers, then $$\lim_{N\to\infty} {A(N)\over N} =
\lim_{N\to\infty} {N\over N} = 1\ .$$
\itemitem{}(d)  Let $N_k = 10^k - 1$.  Then the integers between $N_{k-1}+1$ and
$N_k$ have exactly $k$ digits.  Thus, if $k$ is odd, then
$$A(N_k) = (N_k - N_{k-1}) + (N_{k-2} - N_{k-3}) + \ldots\ ,$$
while if $k$ is even, then
$$A(N_k) = (N_{k-1} - N_{k-2}) + (N_{k-3} - N_{k-4}) + \ldots\ .$$
Thus, if $k$ is odd, then 
$$A(N_k) \ge (N_k - N_{k-1}) = 9\cdot 10^{k-1}\ ,$$
while if $k$ is even, then
$$A(N_k) \le N_{k-1} < 10^{k-1}\ .$$
So, if $k$ is odd, then
$${{A(N_k)}\over{N_k}} \ge {{9\cdot 10^{k-1}}\over{10^k - 1}} > {{9}\over {10}}\
,$$
while if $k$ is even, then
$${{A(N_k)}\over{N_k}} < {{10^{k-1}}\over{10^k - 1}} < {{2}\over{10}}\ .$$
Therefore, 
$$\lim_{N \rightarrow \infty} {{A(N)}\over N}$$
does not exist.

(Solution by Richard Beigel) 
\itemitem{}(a) In order to emerge from the interchange going west, the car must
go straight at the first point of decision, then make $4n+1$ right turns, and
finally go
straight a second time.  The probability $P(r)$ of this occurring is
$$P(r) = \sum_{n = 0}^\infty (1-r)^2r^{4n+1} = {{r(1-r)^2}\over{1-r^4}} =
{1\over{1+r^2}} -
{1\over{1+r}}\ ,$$
if $0 \le r < 1$, but $P(1) = 0$.  So $P(1/2) = 2/15$.
\vskip 5pt
\itemitem{}(b) Using standard methods from calculus, one can show that $P(r)$
attains a
maximum at the value
$$r = {{1 + \sqrt 5}\over 2} - \sqrt {{{1 + \sqrt 5}\over 2}} \approx .346\ .$$
At this value of $r$, $P(r) \approx .15$.

In order to depart to the east, one must make $4n+3$ right-hand turns in
succession, and then
go straight.  The probability is
$$P(r) = \sum_{n = 0}^\infty (1-r)r^{4n+3} = {{r^3}\over{(1+r)(1+r^2)}}\ ,$$
if $0 \le r < 1$.  This function increases on the interval $[0, 1)$, so the
maximum value of
$P(r)$, if a maximum exists, must occur at $r = 1$.  Unfortunately, if $r = 1$,
then the car
never leaves the interchange, so no maximum exists.

a semicircle containing none of the points.

\itemitem{}Note first that the entries in the third row
are 0 for $0 <  j <  3$. Lucas notes that this will
be true for any $p$. To see this assume that $0 <  j <
 p.$ Note that $${p\choose{j}} = {{p(p-1)\cdots
{p-j+1}}\over {j(j-1)\cdots 1}}$$ 

\itemitem{} is an integer. Since $p$ is prime and $0 <  j < 
p$, $p$ is not divisible by  any of the terms of $j!$, and  so 
$(p-1)!$ must be divisible by $j!$. Thus for $0 <  j <  p$ we
have $\displaystyle{p\choose{j}} = 0$ mod $p$.
   Let us call the triangle of the first three rows a
\bf basic triangle\rm. The fact that the third row is
\vskip 20pt
 \centerline{1 0 0 1}
\vskip 20pt
\itemitem{} produces two more basic triangles in the next
three rows and an inverted triangle of 0's between these
two basic triangles. This leads to the 6'th row\vskip
10pt
 \centerline{1 0 0 2 0 0 1}. 
\vskip 20pt
\itemitem{}  This produces a basic triangle, a basic
triangle multiplied by 2 (mod 3), and then another basic
triangle in the next three rows. Again these triangles are
separated by inverted 0 triangles.  We can continue this
way to construct the entire Pascal triangle as a bunch of
multiples of basic triangles separated by inverted 0
triangles.  We need only know what the mutiples are.
The multiples in row $np$ occur at positions
$0,p,2p,...,np$.  Looking at the triangle we see that the
multiple at position $(mp,\thinspace jp)$ is the sum of the
multiples at positions $(j-1)p$ and $jp$ in the
$(m-1)p$'{th} row.  Thus these multiples satisfy the same
recursion relation

          $${n\choose{j}} = {{n-1}\choose{j-1}} +
{{n-1}\choose{j}}$$

\itemitem{} that determined the Pascal triangle. Therefore 
the multiple at position $(mp,\thinspace jp)$ in the
triangle is $\displaystyle{m\choose{j}}$.    
Suppose we want to determine the value in the
Pascal triangle mod $p$ at the position $(n,\thinspace j)$.
Let $n = sp + s_0$ and $j = rp + r_0$, where $s_0$ and $r_0$
are $< p$. Then the point $(n,\thinspace j)$ is at position
$(s_0,r_0)$ in a basic triangle multiplied by
$\displaystyle {s\choose{r}}$. 
\itemitem{}  Thus 
 $${n\choose{j}} =
{{s\choose{r}}{{s_0}\choose{r_0}}}\ .$$

\itemitem{}But now we can repeat this process with the pair
$(s,r)$ and continue until $s < p$. This gives us the
result:
 $${n\choose{j}} = {\prod_{i=0}^k
{{s_i}\choose{r_j}}(\hbox{mod}\ p})\ ,$$ 
\itemitem{}where 
$$\eqalign {s &= s_0 + s_1p^1+s_2p^2 + \cdots +s_kp^k\ ,\cr 
j &= r_0+r_1p^1 + r_2p^2 + \cdots +r_kp^k\ .}$$
\itemitem{}If $ r_j >  s_j$ for some $j$ then the
result is 0 since, in this case, the pair $(s_j,r_j)$
lies in one of the inverted 0 triangles.
\vskip 5pt
\itemitem{}  If we consider the row $ p^k - 1$ then for
all $k$, $s_k = p-1$ and $r_k \le p-1$ 
 so the product will be
positive resulting in no zeros in the rows $ p^k - 1$. In
particular for $p =2$ the rows $p^k-1$ will consist of all
1's.

It can be shown that after $n$
draws, $P$($k$ white balls, $n+1-k$ black balls in the urn) =
${1/(n+1)}$ for any ${0 \le k \le n}$. Thus you are
equally likely to have any proportion of white balls after
$n$ draws.  In fact, the fraction of white balls will tend to
a limit but this limit is a random number.
This rather suprising fact is a consequence of the fact
that the Polya Urn model is mathematicallly exactly the
same as the following apparently very different model. 
You have a coin where the probability of heads $p$ is chosen
by {\bf rnd}. Once this random $p$ is chosen, the coin is
tosses $n$ times. If a head turns up you say you have a white
ball, and if a tail turns up you have a black ball.  Then the
probability for any particular sequence of colors for the
balls is exactly the same as the probability of this
sequence occurring in the Polya urn model. In the coin
model it is obvious that the proportion of heads will tend
to a limit which is again a random number since it just depends upon
what kind of a coin was chosen by {\bf rnd}.   This
random coin model will be discussed more in the next
section.

Put one
white ball in one urn and all the rest in the other urn. 
This gives a probability of nearly 3/4, in particular greater
than 1/2, for obtaining a white ball which is what you would have with an equal
number of balls in each urn.  Thus the best choice must have more
white balls in one urn than the other.  In the urn with
more white balls, the best we can do is to have probability
1 of getting a white ball if this urn is chosen.  In the
 urn with less white balls than black, the best we can do is
to have one less white ball than black and 
then to have as many white balls as possible.  Our
solution is thus best for the urn with more white
balls than black and also for the urn with more black
balls than white. Therefore our solution is the best
we can do.

Neither has a convincing
argument  based upon comparing grouped data only. You
need more information.  For example, suppose that each
defective bulb cost \$10 whether a regular or a softglow bulb.  Then in making
3000 bulbs the loss to $A$ is \$130  and to $B$ is \$110 so B has a smaller loss
than A.  But suppose that a defective regular bulb results in a loss of \$20 and
a defective softglow bulb in a loss of \$10. Now making 3000 bulbs $A$
has a loss of $2\times \$20 + \$11\times \$10 = \$150$ while $B$ has a
loss of $5\times \$20 + 6\times \$10 =  \$160$. Thus $A$ has a smaller loss than
$B$. 
   Paradoxes caused by comparing percentages when data are grouped are
called \bf Simpson paradoxes \rm.  An interesting real life example can be
found in  Parsani, and Purvis,  W.W. Norton l978.  In a study of the
admission to graduate school at the University of
California, Berkeley in 1973 it was found that about 44\%
of the men who applied were admitted,\ but 35\% of the women
who applied were admitted.  Suspecting sex bias, an attempt was made to
locate where it occurred by examining the individual
departments.   But within individual departments there did
not seem to be any bias. Indeed the only department with a
significant difference was one that favored women.  Again
more information is needed. In this case the explantion
lay in the fact that the women applied to majors
that were difficult to get into (lower acceptance rate)
and men applied generally to the majors that were easy to
get in (high acceptance rate).
    In each of these examples you are interested in comparing one trait
in the presence of a second confounding trait. In the first example it was good
or bad bulb confounded by the type of bulb and in the second example it was sex
confounded by the major. Freedman et al. discuss how to control the confounding
trait to make a more valid comparison.

either service convention is equal to the probability that if a

$$W,\ LLW,\ LLLLW,\ \ldots\ .$$
The probability that this happens is equal to
$$p + q^2p + q^4p + \ldots\ ,$$
which equals
$${p\over{1 - q^2}} = {1\over{1+q}}\ .$$
Now, consider the game where a `new play' is defined to be a sequence of
plays that ends with a point being scored.  Then the service convention is
that at the beginning of a new play, the team that won the last new play serves.
This is the same convention as the second convention in the preceding problem.

easily seen to be greater than .5 as long as $q < 1$.  Thus, as long as $p > 0$,
the first team to serve will win the game more than half the time.

If you have drawn $n$ times (total number of balls in the urn

ball next time is ${(j+1)}/{(n+2)}$. Thus at each time
 the conditional probability for the next outcome is
the same in the two models.  This means that the models are
determined by the same probability distribution, so either
model can be used in making predictions.  Now in the coin
model, it is clear that the proportion of heads will tend
to the unknown bias $p$ in the long run.  Since the
value of p was assumed to be unformly distributed, this
limiting value has a random value between 0 and 1.  Since
this is true in the coin model, it is also true in the

Since $X$ and

that$${U = {X+a\over b}},{V = {Y + c\over d}}$$ take only values 0
and 1. If $E(XY) = E(X)E(Y)$ then $E(UV) = E(U)E(V)$.\ If $U$
and $V$ are independent, so are $X$ and $Y$. Thus it is sufficient to
prove independence for $U$ and $V$ taking on values 0 and 1 with $E(UV) =
E(U)E(V)$.Now $$E(UV) = P(U = 1, V = 1) = E(U)E(V) = P(U = 1)P(V = 1),$$
and $$\eqalign{P(U = 1, V = 0)& = P(U = 1) - P(U = 1, V
=1)\cr &= P(U=1)(1-P(V=1)) = P(U=1)P(V=0).}$$
 Similarly,
$$\eqalign{P(U = 0, V = 1)& = P(U=0)P(V = 1)\cr  P(U = 0,V = 0) &= P(U =

 If the walk is above $L$, then there are more
circles than stars, and you guess circle.\ If you are right,
the graph goes down. Since $S \ge C$, the graph ends at

Whenever you make a guess and are wrong the search is
narrowed to a new and smaller interval $[a,b]$.  The probability that you
guess correctly on a question when the interval is $[a,b]$ is
$$P\hbox{(correct)} = {(b-a)\over n}\cdot {1\over (b-a)} = {1\over n}\ .$$
Thus the probabililty that you guess the number on the $k$th question is
$a(k)/n$ where $a(k)$ is the number of possible subintervals for the
$k$th question. The probability of guessing the number correctly for a
strategy with at most $k$ guesses is $${{\sum_k a(k)}\over n}\ .$$  Thus any
strategy that makes this sum as large as possible is optimal.  We can at
most double the number of intervals on each question.Thus any strategy
that achieves this is optimal.The resulting probability of guessing the
number in $k$ questions is 
 $${{\sum_{j=0}^{k-1} {2^k}}\over n} = {{2^{k} - 1}\over n}\ .$$

We begin by noting that
$$P(X \ge  j+1) = P((t_1+t_2+\cdots + t_j) \le
n)\ .$$ 
Now consider the $j$ numbers $a_1,a_2,\cdots, a_j$ defined
by
$$\eqalign{a_1 &= t_1\cr a_2 &= t_1 + t_2\cr a_3
&=t_1+t_2+t_3\cr \vdots &\qquad \vdots 
\qquad \vdots \cr a_j&=t_1+t_2+\cdots + t_j\ .}$$ 
The sequence $a_1,a_2,\cdots ,a_j$ is a monotone increasing
sequence with distinct values and with successive
differences between 1 and $n$.  There is a one-to-one
correspondence between the set of all such sequences and
the set of possible sequences $t_1,t_2,\cdots ,t_j$. 
Each such possible sequence occurs with probability
$1/{n^j}.$
  In fact, there are $n$ possible values for $t_1$ and hence for $a_1$. 
For each of these there are $n$ possible values for $a_2$ corresponding to
the $n$ possible values of $t_2.$  Continuing in this way we see that
there are $n^j$ possible values for the sequence $a_1,a_2, \cdots ,a_j.$ 
On the other hand, in order to have $t_1+t_2+\cdots + t_j \le n$ the
values of $a_1,a_2,\cdots ,a_j$ must be distinct numbers lying between 
1 to $n$ and arranged in order. The number of ways that we can do this is
${n\choose j}$.  Thus we have 
$$P(t_1+t_2+\cdots+t_j \le n) = P(X \ge
j+1) = {n\choose j}{1\over{n^j}}\ .$$ 
$$\eqalign {E(X) = P(X = 1) &+ P(X =
2) +P(X=3) \cdots\cr &+P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)\cdots \cr &\hskip 56pt +P(X =
3) \cdots \ .\cr}\ .$$ 
If we sum this by rows we see that 
$$E(X) = \sum_{j=0}^{n-1} P(X \ge j+1)\ .$$
Thus, 
$$E(X) = \sum_{j=1}^n {n\choose j}\Bigr({1\over n}\Bigl)^j = 
{\Bigr(1+{1\over n}\Bigl)^n}\ .$$ The limit of
this last expression as $n \to \infty$ is $e$ = 2.718...\ .\hfill\break 
\itemitem{}There is an interesting connection between this problem and
the exponential density discussed in Section 2.2 (Example 2.17).  Assume that
the
experiment starts at time 1 and the time between occurrences is equally likely
to be any value
between 1 and $n$. You start observing at time $n$.  Let  $T$ be the length of
time
that you wait. This is the amount by which  $t_1+t_2+\cdots + t_j$ is
greater than $n$.   Now imagine a sequence of plays of a game in which you
pay $n/ 2$ dollars for each play and for the $j$'th play you receive
the reward  $t_j.$  You play until the first time your total
reward is greater than $n$. Then $X$ is the number of times you play and
your total reward is $n + T$.  This is a perfectly fair game and your
expected net winning should be 0.  But the expected total reward is  $ n
+ E(T) $. Your expected payment for play is ${n\over 2}E(X).$  Thus by
fairness, we have 
$$n+E(T) = {(n/2)}E(X)\ .$$
Therefore, 
$$E(T) = {n\over 2}E(X) - n\ .$$ 
We have seen that for large $n$, $E(X)\sim
e.$\ Thus for large $n$,
$$E(\hbox{waiting time}) = E(T) \sim n({e\over 2} - 1) = .718n\ .$$ 
Since the average time between occurrences is $n/2$ we have
another example of the paradox where we have to wait on the average
longer than 1/2 the average time time between occurrences.

(a) We prove first that for Bernoulli trials
the probability that the $k$th failure precedes the $r$th success is
$$f(k,p,r) = {{r+k-1}\choose k }p^{r-1}q^k\cdot p\ .
$$
To prove this, we note that for the $k$th failure to precede the $r$th
success we must have $r-1$ successes and $k$ failures in the first
$r+k-1$ trials and then have a success.   The probability
that this happens is $f(k,p,r)$.  Now consider a Bernoulli trials process
where success is getting a match from the right pocket. In order to have
$r$ matches in the left pocket when the right pocket has none we must
have $N-r$ failures before the $(N+1)${st} success.  
Thus the probability that there are $r$ matches in the left pocket when
the right pocket has none is 
$$ {f(N-r,{1\over 2},N+1)}\ .$$  
The same argument applies for the probability that there are $r$ matches in the
right pocket when the left pocket has none.  Thus

negative terms until they add up to more than the first positive term, 
then choosing this positive term, then more negative terms until they add up 
to more than the second positive term, then choosing this positive term, etc.

average depth of

$$d_j = \sum_{i \ne j} p_{ij}\ ,$$
where the top book is considered to be at depth 0.  Now if book $i$ is above
book $j$, then
the relative order of books $i$ and $j$ is changed after a call if and only if
book $j$ is

$$\eqalign{p_{ij} &= p_{ij}(1-p_j) + p_{ji}p_i\cr

Consider the variance of $S_n$:
$$V(S_n) = \sum_{i=1}^np_i(1-p_i) =
\sum_{i=1}^np_i - \sum_{i=1}^np_i^2\ ,$$ 
with the constraint
$$\sum_{i=1}^np_i = np\ .$$ 
Assume that we have values of $p_i$ that satisfy
the constraint and that  $m$ of the values of $p_i$ are equal to $x$ and
one is equal to $y$ with $x > y$. By rearranging the terms if necessary we
can assume that the first $m$ are equal to $x$ and the ${(m+1)}{\rm st}$
is equal to $y$. We shall show that we can increase the variance by making
these $m+1$ values equal.  To do this we define 
$${\bar p_i} = p_i -
{\epsilon\over m},\ \  \hbox{for $i$ = 1 to $m$}$$ 
and 
$$\bar p_{m+1} = p_{m+1} + \epsilon\ ,$$ 
where 
$$\epsilon = {m\over{m+1}}(x-y)\ .$$  
Then the new $\bar {p_i}{\rm s}$ satisfy the constraint, and the difference
between
the new variance $\bar V$ and the old variance $V$ is
$${\bar V - V} = {m(x-{\epsilon\over m})^2} + (y+\epsilon)^2 - mx^2 - 
y^2\ .$$  
After simplifying and substituting the value for $\epsilon$
this becomes 
$$\bar V - V = {m\over{m+1}}(x-y)^2\ .$$  
Since this value is positive we have increased the variance by making 
the first $m+1$ values equal. The same argument applies in case $y > x$.
By induction we see that the variance is maximized
by making all the values equal.\ (Note: Students who know about the
technique of Lagrange multipliers will find this easier to prove
using that method.)

$$A_\theta = \Bigl[\theta - {\pi\over 2}, {\pi\over 2} - \theta\Bigr]\ .$$
So the probability that you choose a good angle $\alpha$, given that you are at
$P$, 
is
$${{|A_\theta|}\over{2\pi}} = {{\pi - 2\theta}\over{2\pi}}\ .$$
This must be averaged over all $\theta \in [0, \pi/2]$ to obtain the final

Y_{k+1} > x)\cr

Therefore,

Thus,
$$E(Z) = \sum_{k = 0}^\infty k\biggl({1\over{(k+1)(k+2)}}\biggr)\ ,$$
which diverges.  Thus, you should be willing to pay any amount to play this

Let $p_1,\dots, p_6$ be the probabilities for one die and
$q_1,\dots, q_6$ be the probabilities for the other die.  Assume
first that all probabilities are positive.  Then $p_1q_1 > p_1q_6$,
 since there is only one way to get a 2 and several ways to get a 7. 
Thus $q_1 > q_6$.  In the same way $q_6q_6 > q_1p_6$ and so $q_6 >
q_1$.  This is a contradiction. If any of the sides has probability 0,
then we can renumber them so that it is  side 1.  But then the
probability of a 2 is 0 and so all sums would have to have probability
0, which is impossible.
\vskip 5pt 
\itemitem{} Here's a fancy way to
prove it.  Define the polynomials 
$$p(x) = \sum_{k=0}^5 p_{(k+1)}x^k$$
and 
$$q(x) = \sum_{k=0}^5 q_{(k+1)}x^k\ .$$ Then we must have 
$$p(x)q(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{10} {{x^k}\over 11} = {{(1-x^{11})}\over
(1-x)}\ .$$ 
The left side is the product of two fifth degree
polynomials.  A fifth degree polynomial must have a real root 
which will not be 0 if $p_1 > 0.$  Consider
the right side as a polynomial. For $x$ to be a non-zero root of this
polynomial it would have to be a real eleventh root of unity other
than 1, and there are no such roots.  Hence again we have a
contradiction.

If $X$ and $Y$ are independent, then $X + Y$ takes on all possible

We first find the density for $X^2$ when X has a general normal density 
$$f_{_X}(x) = {1\over {\sigma\sqrt {2\pi}}}  \thinspace
e^{-{{(x-\mu)^2}/{2\sigma^2}}} dx\ .$$ Then (see Theorem 1 of Chapter
5, Section 5.2 and the discussion following) we have  
$$f_{_X}^2(x) = {1\over{\sigma \sqrt {2\pi}}}{1\over {2\sqrt x}}\exp({-{x/
{2\sigma^2}}-{\mu^2/ {2\sigma^2}})}\Bigr ( \exp({{\sqrt x \mu}/{
\sigma^2}})+\exp({{-\sqrt x \mu}/{ \sigma^2}})\Bigl)\ .$$ 
Replacing the last two exponentials by their series representation, we have
$$f_{_X}^2(x) = {e^{-{\mu/{2\sigma^2}}}\sum_{r=0}^\infty
}\Bigr({\mu\over{2\sigma ^2}}\Bigl)^r{1\over {r!}} G({1/
{2\sigma ^2}},r+ {1/ 2}, x)\ ,$$ 
where 
$$G(a,p,x) = {{a^p}\over {\Gamma(p)}}e^{-ax}{x^{p-1}}$$ 
is the gamma density.  We now consider
the original problem with $X_1 \ \hbox{and}\  X_2$ two random
variables with normal density with parameters $\mu_1,\sigma_1$ and
$\mu_2,\sigma_2.$ This is too much generality  for us, and
we shall assume that the variances are equal, and then for
simplicity we shall assume they are 1.  Let 
$$c = \sqrt {\mu_1^2 + \mu_2^2}\ .$$
We introduce the new random variables 
$$Z_1 = {1\over c}(\mu _1X_1 + \mu _2X_2)\ ,$$ 
$$Z_2 = {1\over c}(\mu_2X_1 - \mu_1X_2)\ .$$  
Then $Z_1$ is normal with mean $c$ and variance 1 and
$Z_2$ is normal with mean 0 and variance 1.    Thus,
$$f_{Z_1^2}= 
 e^{-{c^2}/ 2}\sum_{r=0}^\infty \Bigr({{c^2}\over 2}\Bigl)^r{1\over
r!}G({1/ 2},r+{1/ 2},x)\ ,$$ 
and 
$$f_{Z_2^2} =  G({1/2},{1/2},x)\ .$$
Convoluting these two densities and using the fact that the
convolution of a gamma density $G(a,p,x)$ and $G(a,q,x)$ is a gamma
density $G(a,p+q,x)$ we finally obtain 
$$f_{Z_1^2 + Z_2^2} = f_{X_1^2 + X_2^2} = 
e^{-{c^2/ 2}}\sum_{r=0}^\infty\Bigr({c^2\over 2}\Bigl)^r
{1\over r!}G\Bigr({1/ 2},r+1,x\Bigl)\ .$$

Large Numbers, the proportion of heads should be near the

of heads does not deviate from the probability of heads by

The exercise as stated in the text is incorrect.  The following replacement
exercise, sent to us by David Maslen, is correct:  In this exercise, we shall
construct an example of a sequence
of random variables that satisfies the weak law of large numbers, but not the
strong
law. The distribution of $X_i$ will have to depend on $i$, because
otherwise both laws would be satisfied. As a preliminary, we need to prove
a lemma, which is one of the Borel-Cantelli lemmas.  Suppose we have an infinite
sequence of mutually
independent events $A_1, A_2, \dots$. Let $a_i = {\rm Prob}(A_i)$, and let $r$
be a positive integer.
\itemitem{} (a)  Find an expression of the probability that none of the $A_i$
with
$i>r$ occur.
\itemitem{} (b)  Use the fact that $x-1 \leq e^{-x}$ to show that
$$
{\rm Prob}({\rm No}\ A_i\ {\rm with}\ i > r\ {\rm occurs}) \leq
e^{-\sum_{i=r}^{\infty}
a_i}\ .
$$
\itemitem{} (c) Prove that if $\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} a_i$ diverges, then
$$
{\rm Prob}({\rm infinitely\ many\ }A_i\ {\rm occur}) = 1\ .
$$
Now, let $X_i$ be a sequence of mutually independent random variables such
that for each positive integer $i \geq 2$,
$$
{\rm Prob}(X_i = i) = {1\over{2i\log i}}\ , \quad {\rm Prob}(X_i = -i) =
{1\over{2i\log i}}\ , \quad {\rm Prob}(X_i = 0) = 1 - {1\over{i \log i}}\ .
$$
When $i=1$ we let $X_i=0$ with probability $1$. As usual we let $S_n = X_1
+ \cdots + X_n$. Note that the mean of each $X_i$ is $0$.
\itemitem{} (d) Find the variance of $S_n$.
\itemitem{} (e) Show that the sequence $\{ X_i \}$ satisfies the weak
law of large numbers, i.e.\ prove that for any $\epsilon > 0$
$$
{\rm Prob}\Biggl( \biggl|{{S_n}\over{n}}\biggr| \geq \epsilon\Biggr) \rightarrow
0\ ,
$$
as $n$ tends to infinity.  We now show that $\{ X_i \}$ does not satisfy the
strong law of
large numbers. Suppose that $S_n / n \rightarrow 0$. Then because
$$
{{X_n}\over{n}} = {{S_n}\over{n}} - {{n-1}\over n} {{S_{n-1}}\over{n-1}}\ ,
$$
we know that $X_n / n \rightarrow 0$. From the definition of limits, we
conclude that the inequality $|X_i| \geq i/2$ can only be
true for finitely many $i$.
\itemitem{} (f) Let $A_i$ be the event $|X_i| \geq i/2$. Find
${\rm Prob}(A_i)$. Show that 
$$\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} {\rm Prob}(A_i)$$ 
diverges (think Integral Test).
\itemitem{} (g) Prove that $A_i$ occurs for infinitely many $i$.
\itemitem{} (h) Prove that 
$${\rm Prob}\biggl({{S_n}\over n} \rightarrow 0\biggr) = 0\ ,$$
and hence that the Strong Law of Large Numbers fails for the sequence
$\{ X_i \}$.

Since $E(X)$ = 20  and $X$ is non-negative, we have:
$$20 = \int_0^\infty xp(x)dx \ge \int_a^\infty xp(x)dx \ge aP(X\ge

Therefore,
$$ P(X \ge a) \le {20\over a}\ .$$
\itemitem{} This is  interesting only for $a \ge 20$.
\vskip 5pt
\itemitem{}\IND{(b)} Now assume $E(X)$ = 20 and $V(X)$ = 25.  Then
$$E(X^2) = V(X) +E(X)^2 = 425\ .$$  Thus
$$425 = \int_0^\infty x^2p(x)dx \ge \int_a^\infty x^2dx \ge
a^2P(X\ge a)\ .$$ 
Therefore 
$$P(X \ge a) \le {425\over a^2}\ .$$ 
>From part (a) we also have that $P(X \ge a) \le \displaystyle{20\over a}.\ $
Thus our best upper bounds are:
$$P(X \ge a) \le {20\over a}\ \ \ \hbox{if}\   20

and 
$$P(X \ge a) \le {425\over a^2}\ \ \ \hbox{if}\   a \ge 21.25\ .$$ 
\vskip 5pt
\itemitem{}\IND{(c)} Since $X$ is non-negative and the density is
symmetric with mean 20, we must have $p(x)$ positive only on the
interval [0,40].  Again by symmetry we have 
$$10 = \int_{20}^{40}xp(x)\,dx\ .$$ Thus  for $a \ge 20$,
$$10 = \int_{20}^{40}xp(x)\,dx \ge \int_a^{40}xp(x)\,dx \ge aP(X\ge a)\ .$$ 
Therefore, 
$$P(X \ge a) \le {10\over a}\ .$$ 
Again by symmetry we have
$$\int_{20}^{40}(x-20)^2p(x)dx = 12.5\ .$$  
Then
$$\int_{20}^{40}x^2p(x)dx - 40\int_{20}^{40}xp(x)dx +
400\cdot{1\over 2} = 12.5\ .$$ 
>From this we obtain
$$\int_{20}^{40}x^2p(x)dx = 12.5 + 40\cdot10 - 200 = 212.5\ .$$
Therefore, for $a \ge 20$ we have 
$$212.5 = \int_{20}^{40}x^2p(x)dx
\ge \int_{a}^{40}xp(x)dx \ge a^2P(X \ge a)\ .$$  
Thus for $a \ge 20\ $ we
have 
$$P(X\ge a) \le {212.5\over a^2}\ .$$ 
Combining our two estimates we have: 
$$P(X \ge  a) \le {10\over a} \ \ \ \hbox{if}\ 20\le a \le
21.25\ ,$$ 
and 
$$P(X \ge a) \le {212.5\over a^2} \ \ \ \hbox{if}\  21.25
\le a \le 40\ .$$

You can work this by passing to the limit in the
expressions given in Example 4, but it is easier to do it
directly as follows: The generating function $h_1(z) =
h(z)$ for the population after one generation is 
$$h(z) =
\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}(1/2)^{j+1}z^j =  {1/2\over {1 -
{(1/2)}z}}={1\over{(2-z)}}\ .$$ 
Then we can get the
generating functions for future generations by using the
relation {$h_{n+1}(z) = h_n(h(z))$}. For
example, 
$$h_2(z) = {1\over ({2-{1\over (2-z)})}} =
{{2-x}\over {3-2x}}\ .$$  
Continuing in this way, we get
$$h_3(z) = {{3-2x}\over {4-3x}}\ .$$ 
These results suggest that the general case is 
$$h_n(z) = {{n-x(n-1)}\over
{(n+1)-nx}}\ .$$  
It is easy to check that this satisfies the
equation $h_{n+1} = h_n(h(z))$, so by induction we see
that our guess for $h_n(z)$ is correct. Then
$$\eqalign{h_n(z) &= {{n-x(n-1)}\over {n+1}}\Bigl({1\over
{1-{n\over {n+1}}}x}\Bigr)\cr& = {{n-z(n-1)}\over
{n+1}}\Bigl(\sum_{j=0}^\infty
\Bigl({n\over{n+1}}\Bigr)^jz^j\ .}$$ 
The constant term is $p_n(0) = n/(n+1).$ Collecting the 
coefficients of $z^j$ and simplifying gives $p^{(n)}(j) = \D{1\over
{n(n+1)}}\Bigl({n\over {n+1}}\Bigr)^j.$

Consider the Markov chain with state $i$ (for $1 \le i < k$) the
length of the current run, and $k$ an absorbing state.  Then when in
state $i < k$, the chain  goes to $i+1$ with probability $1/m$ or to 1
with probability $(m-1)/m$.  Thus, starting in state 1, in order to get
to  state $j+1$ the chain must be in state $j$ and then move to $j+1$. 
This means that $$N_{1,j+1} = N_{1,j}(1/m)\ ,$$ or $$N_{1,j} =
mN_{1,j+1}\ .$$  This will be true also for $j+1 = k$ if we interpret
$N_{1,k}$ as the number of times that the chain enters the state $k$,
namely, 1.  Thus, starting with $N_{1,k} = 1$ and working backwards, we
see that $N_{1,j} = m^{k-j}$ for $j = 1,\cdots ,k.$\ Therefore, the
expected number of experiments until a run of $k$ occurs is$$ 1+m + m^2
+\cdots + m^{k-1} = {{m^k-1}\over {m-1}}\ .$$ (The initial 1 is to start
the process off.) 
   Putting $m = 10$ and\ $k = 9$ we see that the expected number of
digits in the decimal expansion of $\pi$ until the first run of length 7
would be about 111 million if the expansion were random. Thus we should
not be surprised to find such a run in the first 100,000,000 digits of
$\pi$ and indeed there are runs of length 9  among
these digits.

When the walk is in state $i$, it goes to $i+1$
with probability $p$ and $i-1$ with probability $q$.  Condition (a) just
equates the probability of winning in terms of the current state to the
probability after the next step. Clearly, if our fortune is 0, then the
probability of winning is 0, and if it is $T$, then the probability is
1.   Here is an instructive way (not the simplest way) to see that the
values of {\\w} are uniquely determined by (a), (b), and (c).  Let {\\P}
be the transition matrix for our absorbing chain.  Then these equations
state that $${\\Pw} = {\\w}\ .$$ That is, the column vector {\\w} is a
fixed vector for {\\P}.  Consider the transition matrix for an arbitrary
Markov chain in canonical form and assume that we have a vector {\\w}
such that {\\w} = {\\Pw}.  Multiplying through by {\\P}, we see that

Again, it is easy to check that the proposed solution $f(x)
= x(n-x)$ satisfies conditions (a) and (b).  The hard part is to prove
that these equations have a unique solution.   As in the case
of Exercise 23, it is most instructive to consider this problem more
generally.  We have a special case of the following situation. 
Consider an absorbing Markov chain with transition matrix {\\P} in
canonical form and with transient states $T$ and absorbing states $A$. 
Let {\\f} and {\\g} be column vectors that satisfy the following system
of equations $$ \pmatrix{{\\Q}&{\\R}\cr
{\\0}&{\\I}}\pmatrix{{\\f}_{_A}\cr {\\0}} + \pmatrix{{\\g}_{_A}\cr
{\\0}} = \pmatrix{{\\f}_{_A}\cr {\\0}}\ ,$$  where ${\\g}_{_A}$ is given
and it is desired to determine ${\\f}_{_A}$.  In our example,
${\\g}_{_A}$ has all components equal to 1.  To solve for ${\\f}_{_A}$
we note that these equations are equivalent to $${\\Q} {\\f}_{_A} +
{\\g}_{_A} = {\\f}_{_A}\ ,$$ or $$({\\I}-{\\Q}){\\f}_{_A} = {\\g}_{_A}\ .$$
Solving for ${\\f}_{_A}$, we obtain $${\\f}_{_A} = {\\N}{\\g}_{_A}\ .$$ 
Thus ${\\f}_{_A}$ is uniquely determined by ${\\g}_{_A}$.

In order to decrease your fortune by 1 you must choose a red square and
then choose a neighbor that is not red.  With the same probability you
could have chosen the neighbor and then the red square and your fortune

Since we take the smallest possible multiple ${a}_j$, 
 we must have ${a}^{(n)}_j \le

monotone increasing.  On the other hand, they are always

Let ${\\y}^{(n)} = {\bf P}^n{\bf y}.$  Then
${y}^{(n+1)}_i = \sum_j{p}_{ij}y_j^{(n)}.$ Thus
${y}^{(n+1)}_i \le \sum_jp_{ij}M_n = M_n.$ This
means that $M_n$ is a upper bound for ${\\y}^{(n+1)}_i$. 
Therefore, $M_{n+1} \le M_n$. A similar argument shows
that $m_{n+1} \ge m_n$.  Hence $M_{n+1} - m_{n+1} \le
M_n-m_n$ for any $n\ge 1$. Thus if we can show that  a
subsequence of differences $M_n - m_n$ tends to 0, then the
same will be true for the entire sequence of differences,
since this sequence is monotone decreasing.

This game has the flavor of Doeblin's coupling idea.  Once you and your 
friend happen to be looking at the same number, from that time on you
will continue together.  If this happens you will end up
together and you can successfully state that she stopped
the same place you did.  To see how successful you will
be, you will have to estimate the probability that the
coupling takes place.  It is easy to write a program
using random permutations of 52 objects to simulate
this process.  If you do, you will find that about 75
percent of the time the coupling is successful.

If $p_{ij} = p_{ji}$ then {\\P} has column sums

case the fixed vector is a constant vector.  Thus for any two states $s_i$ and

Thus $w_{i}p_{ij} = w_{j}p_{ji}$, and

W}) =  {\bf I} -
 {\bf P}^n + n {\bf W}\ .
$$
Recall that $ \bf P \bf W = \bf W$ so also $\bf P^k\bf W = \bf W$.  Thus, just
multiplying out the left side 
 gives this equality.  Now if we divide through by $n$  and pass to the limit we
have
$${{ {\bf I} +  {\bf P} +\ldots+  {\bf P}^{n - 1}}\over n} (\bf I- \bf P+ \bf W)
\to  \bf W $$
Multiplying both sides on the right by $\bf Z$ and recalling that $\bf W \bf Z =
\bf W$  we see that
$${{ {\bf I} +  {\bf P} +\ldots+  {\bf P}^{n - 1}}\over n}\to  \bf W $$

w_km_{ki} + w_ir_i\ ,$$ we see that $$\eqalign{\bar m_i &= \sum_k
w_k{{z_{ii}-z_{ki}}\over w_i} + 1\cr & = {z_{ii}\over

Form a Markov chain whose states are the possible
outcomes of a roll. After 100 rolls we may assume that the
chain is in equilibrium. We want to find the mean time
in equilibrium to obtain snake eyes for the first time.
For this chain $m_{ki}$ is the same as $r_i$, since the
starting state does not effect the time to reach another
state for the first time. The fixed vector has all entries
equal to 1/36,  so $r_i = 36$. Using this fact, we obtain $$\bar
m_i = \sum_k w_k m_{ki} + w_ir_i =35 + 1 = 36.$$ We see
that the expected time to obtain snake eyes is 36, so the
second argument is correct.

of $i$.

 Assume that you start in state $a$.  Then the expected amount you
win on the nth step is $\sum_j P^n_{a,j}f_j.$  From this it follows that
your expected winning on the first $n$ steps can be represented by the
column vector~${\bf g}^{(n)}$,  with
$${\bf g}^{(n)} = ( {\bf I} +  {\bf P} +  {\bf P}^2 +\cdots+  {\bf P}^n)
 {\bf f}.$$  But
since  $\bf w \bf f = 0$ also $\bf W \bf f = 0.$  Thus we  have
$${\bf g}^{(n)} = ( {\bf I} +  ({\bf P} - {\bf W}) +  ({\bf P}^2 -  {\bf W})
+\cdots+  ({\bf P}^n - {\bf W}))
 {\bf f}$$
 Letting $n \to \infty $ we obtain,
$${\bf g}^{(n)} \to  \bf Z {\bf f}.$$
We used here that if  $\bf P$ is the transition matrix for a 
regular chain then  $Z$ is equal to the infinite series:
$$ \bf Z =  {\bf I} +  ({\bf P}- {\bf W}) +  ({\bf P}^2-  {\bf W}) + ({\bf P}^3- 
{\bf W})\cdots.$$

B&1/3&1/6&1/6&1/3\cr C&1/3&1/3&1/6&1/6\cr }.$$
Since the column sums are 1, the fixed vector is
$${\\w} = (1/4,\ 1/4,\ 1/4,\ 1/4)\ .$$ From this we see that
{\\wf} = {\\0}.  From the result of Exercise 20 we see that your

 {\bf Z\bf f} where 
$$ {\bf f} = \pmatrix{ 15 \cr -30 \cr -5 \cr 20 }\ .$$

{\bf P\bf W = \bf W}  follows from the fact the columns of $\bf W$  are constant
and the row sums of {\bf P} are 1.
Similarly  ${\bf W\bf W  = \bf W}$  follows from the fact that ${\bf W}$ has row
sums 1 and constant columns.
Thus ${\bf W^2} = {\bf W}$.  Multiplying both sides by {\bf W} gives ${\bf W^3}
= {\bf W^2} = {\bf W}$.  
Continuing in this

Thus
$$E(S_j^{(n)}) = \sum_{h = 0}^n p^{(n)}_{ij}.$$
