Suppose that a coin is tossed repeatedly in such a way that heads and tails are equally likely to appear on any given toss and that all tosses are independent, with the following exception: Whenever either three heads or three tails have been obtained on three successive tosses, then the outcome of the next toss is always of the opposite type. At time\(n\left( {n \ge 3} \right)\)let the state of this process be specified by the outcomes on tosses\(n - 2\),\(n - 1\)and n. Show that this process is a Markov chain with stationary transition probabilities and construct the transition matrix.

Let X have the uniform distribution on the interval, and let prove that \({\bf{cX + d}}\) it has a uniform distribution on the interval \(\left[ {{\bf{ca + d,cb + d}}} \right]\)

Suppose that a random variableXhas a discrete distribution

with the following p.f.:

\(f\left( x \right) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l}\frac{c}{{{2^x}}}\;\;for\;x = 0,1,2,...\\0\;\;\;\;otherwise\end{array} \right.\)

Find the value of the constantc.

Suppose that three boys A, B, and C are throwing a ball from one to another. Whenever A has the ball, he throws it to B with a probability of 0.2 and to C with a probability of 0.8. Whenever B has the ball, he throws it to A with a probability of 0.6 and to C with a probability of 0.4. Whenever C has the ball, he is equally likely to throw it to either A or B.

a. Consider this process to be a Markov chain and construct the transition matrix.

b. If each of the three boys is equally likely to have the ball at a certain time n, which boy is most likely to have the ball at time\(n + 2\).

Suppose that \({{\bf{X}}_{\bf{1}}}\;{\bf{and}}\;{{\bf{X}}_{\bf{2}}}\) are i.i.d. random variables andthat each of them has a uniform distribution on theinterval [0, 1]. Find the p.d.f. of\({\bf{Y = }}{{\bf{X}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{ + }}{{\bf{X}}_{\bf{2}}}\).
