A building has n floors numbered 1,2,...,n, plus a ground floor g. at the ground floor, m people get on the elevator together, a

fomenos

Let $X_i$ be the random variable indicating whether the elevator does not stop at floor $i$ , with

$X_i=\begin{cases}1&\text{if the elevator does not stop at floor }i\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

Let $Y$ be the random variable representing the number of floors at which the elevator does not stop. Then

$Y=X_1+X_2+\cdots+X_{n-1}+X_n$

We want to find $\mathrm{Var}(Y)$ . By definition,

$\mathrm{Var}(Y)=\mathbb E[(Y-\mathbb E[Y])^2]=\mathbb E[Y^2]-\mathbb E[Y]^2$

As stated in the question, there is a $\dfrac1n$ probability that any one person will get off at floor $n$ (here, $n$ refers to any of the $n$ total floors, not just the top floor). Then the probability that a person will not get off at floor $n$ is $1-\dfrac1n$ . There are $m$ people in the elevator, so the probability that not a single one gets off at floor $n$ is $\left(1-\dfrac1n\right)^m$ .

So,

$\mathbb P(X_i=x)\begin{cases}\left(1-\dfrac1n\right)^m&\text{for }x=1\\\\1-\left(1-\dfrac1n\right)^m&\text{for }x=0\end{cases}$

which means

$\mathbb E[Y]=\mathbb E\left[\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^nX_i\right]=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n\mathbb E[X_i]=\sum_{i=1}^n\left(1\cdot\left(1-\dfrac1n\right)^m+0\cdot\left(1-\left(1-\dfrac1n\right)^m\right)$
$\implies\mathbb E[Y]=n\left(1-\dfrac1n\right)^m$

and

$\mathbb E[Y^2]=\mathbb E\left[\left(\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n{X_i}\right)^2\right]=\mathbb E\left[\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n{X_i}^2+2\sum_{1\le i$

Computing $\mathbb E[{X_i}^2]$ is trivial since it's the same as $\mathbb E[X_i]$ . (Do you see why?)

Next, we want to find the expected value of the following random variable, when $i\neq j$ :

$X_iX_j=\begin{cases}1&\text{if }X_i=1\text{ and }X_j=1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

If $X_iX_j=0$ , we don't care; when we compute $\mathbb E[X_iX_j]$ , the contributing terms will vanish. We only want to see what happens when both floors are not visited.

$\mathbb P(X_iX_j=1)=\left(1-\dfrac2n\right)^m$
$\implies\mathbb E[X_iX_j]=\left(1-\dfrac2n\right)^m$
$\implies2\displaystyle\sum_{1\le i$

where we multiply by $n(n-1)$ because that's how many ways there are of choosing indices $i,j$ for $X_iX_j$ such that $1\le i$ .

So,

$\mathrm{Var}[Y]=n\left(1-\dfrac1n\right)^m+2n(n-1)\left(1-\dfrac2n\right)^m-n^2\left(1-\dfrac1n\right)^{2m}$

John says that 0.5y for y=1.4 is 0.7<br> Is he correct? Explain.<br> 17 points

Alona [7]

John is correct because 0.5 is equal to one half and multiplying something by its half is just same as dividing something in two and half of 1.4 is 0.5

(sorry if it's too long feel free to shorten it)

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment with the endpoints

Nana76 [90]

The midpoint formula is basically just the average of the two points. Here it is: $( \frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$
Then, you plug the points in. The answer is (-13,-5/2) or C
