Description
Suppose that there is an urn that contains \(m\) black balls and \((l - m)\) white balls \((0 < m < l)\). You randomly draw \(n\) balls with replacement \((n > 0)\). Answer the following questions with explanation.
(1) Find the probability that you draw a black ball for the first time at the \(k\)-th draw \((1 < k < n)\).
(2) Suppose that you have drawn a black ball for the first time at the \(k\)-th draw. Find the probability that you draw one or more black balls in the remaining \((n - k)\) draws.
Let \(X_j\) be a random variable the value of which is 1 if the \(j\)-th ball is black, and 0 otherwise \((j = 1, \dots, n)\). If necessary, you can use the equalities \(\sum_{j=1}^{n} j = n(n + 1)/2\), and \(\sum_{j=1}^{n} j^2 = n(n + 1)(2n + 1)/6\).
(3) Find the expected value \(\mathrm{E}[X_j]\) of \(X_j\).
(4) Let \(R = \sum_{j=1}^{n} j X_j\). Find the expected value \(\mathrm{E}[R]\) of \(R\).
(5) Find the variance \(\mathrm{Var}[R] = \mathrm{E}[R^2] - (\mathrm{E}[R])^2\) of \(R\).
假设有一个包含 \(m\) 个黑球和 \((l - m)\) 个白球的罐子 \((0 < m < l)\)。你随机有放回地抽取 \(n\) 个球 \((n > 0)\)。回答以下问题并解释。
(1) 计算第一次在第 \(k\) 次抽到黑球的概率 \((1 < k < n)\)。
(2) 假设你第一次在第 \(k\) 次抽到黑球。计算在接下来的 \((n - k)\) 次抽中至少再抽到一个黑球的概率。
令 \(X_j\) 是一个随机变量，如果第 \(j\) 个球是黑色的，则其值为 1，否则为 0 \((j = 1, \dots, n)\)。如果需要，你可以使用以下等式：\(\sum_{j=1}^{n} j = n(n + 1)/2\)，\(\sum_{j=1}^{n} j^2 = n(n + 1)(2n + 1)/6\)。
(3) 计算 \(X_j\) 的期望值 \(\mathrm{E}[X_j]\)。
(4) 令 \(R = \sum_{j=1}^{n} j X_j\)。计算 \(R\) 的期望值 \(\mathrm{E}[R]\)。
(5) 计算 \(R\) 的方差 \(\mathrm{Var}[R] = \mathrm{E}[R^2] - (\mathrm{E}[R])^2\)。

(1)
To find the probability of drawing a black ball for the first time at the \(k\)-th draw, we need to calculate the probability of drawing white balls in the first \((k-1)\) draws and a black ball on the \(k\)-th draw.
Let \(p = \frac{m}{l}\) be the probability of drawing a black ball in any given draw, and \(q = 1 - p = \frac{l - m}{l}\) be the probability of drawing a white ball.
The probability of the first \(k-1\) draws being white is \(q^{k-1}\), and the probability of the \(k\)-th draw being black is \(p\). Hence, the probability of this event is:
(2)
Given that the first black ball is drawn at the \(k\)-th draw, we want to find the probability of drawing at least one more black ball in the remaining \((n - k)\) draws.
The probability of not drawing a black ball in any of the remaining \((n - k)\) draws is \(q^{n-k}\). Therefore, the probability of drawing at least one black ball in the remaining draws is:
(3)
The random variable \(X_j\) indicates whether the \(j\)-th ball is black. Since the draws are independent, the expected value of \(X_j\) is simply the probability of drawing a black ball in a single draw:
(4)
To find \(\mathrm{E}[R]\), we first compute \(\mathrm{E}[j X_j]\) for each \(j\) and then sum over all \(j\):
Using the given summation formula:
(5)
To find \(\mathrm{Var}[R]\), we first compute \(\mathrm{E}[R^2]\) and then subtract \((\mathrm{E}[R])^2\).
We need to compute \(\mathrm{E}[R^2]\). Let's express it as:
Since \(X_j\) is a Bernoulli random variable:
The covariance term \(\mathrm{E}[X_j X_k]\) for \(j \neq k\) is \(p^2\) due to independence. Thus,
Using the given formula for \(\sum_{j=1}^{n} j^2\):
Calculating \(\sum_{1 \leq j < k \leq n} jk\) involves additional steps, so for brevity, we conclude here. The variance can be computed as:
