The reports aim to provide a clear understanding of key concepts in probability and statistics, making them accessible to learners at all levels. Each report breaks down complex topics into digestible ...
Colorblindness is caused by a recessive gene on the X chromosome. Since men have only one X chromosome, if a man carries the colorblindness allele (gene form), he will have the trait. Women have two X ...
In a raffle with 20 tickets, 6 tickets are drawn for prizes. The first prize winner gets $\$20$, 2 second prize winners get $\$10$, and three third prize winners get $\$5$. What is the sample space ...
The random variable 2−3X is of the form aX+b, with a=−3 and b=2. Thus, Var(2−3X)=(−3)2Var(X)=9⋅2=18. Is it always true that $E[X^2]≥(E[X])^2$? We know ...
Abstract: Consider a system comprising sensors that communicate with a remote estimator by way of a so-called collision channel. Each sensor observes a discrete random variable and must decide whether ...

Abstract: We discuss properties of the “beamsplitter addition” operation, which provides a non-standard scaled convolution of random variables supported on the non-negative integers. We give a simple ...
