It is known that \(60 \%\) of the bags contain bulbs for 5 red and 20 yellow tulips while the remaining \(40 \%\) of the bags contain bulbs for 15 red and 10 yellow tulips. A bag is selected at random and a bulb taken at random from this bag is planted. (a) What is the probability that it will be a yellow tulip? (b) Given that it is yellow, what is the conditional probability it comes from a bag that contained 5 red and 20 yellow bulbs?
Divide a line segment into two parts by selecting a point at random. Find the probability that the larger segment is at least three times the shorter. Assume a uniform distribution.
Let \(X\) be a random variable such that \(E\left[(X-b)^{2}\right]\) exists for all real \(b\). Show that \(E\left[(X-b)^{2}\right]\) is a minimum when \(b=E(X)\).
Consider \(k\) continuous-type distributions with the following characteristics: pdf \(f_{i}(x)\), mean \(\mu_{i}\), and variance \(\sigma_{i}^{2}, i=1,2, \ldots, k .\) If \(c_{i} \geq 0, i=1,2, \ldots, k\), and \(c_{1}+c_{2}+\cdots+c_{k}=1\), show that the mean and the variance of the distribution having pdf \(c_{1} f_{1}(x)+\cdots+c_{k} f_{k}(x)\) are \(\mu=\sum_{i=1}^{k} c_{i} \mu_{i}\) and \(\sigma^{2}=\sum_{i=1}^{k} c_{i}\left[\sigma_{i}^{2}+\left(\mu_{i}-\mu\right)^{2}\right]\) respectively.
Let \(X\) have the pdf \(f(x)=\frac{1}{x^{2}}, 1
