Suppose that the lifetime of a certain type of lamp has an exponential distribution for which the value of the parameter is unknown. A random sample of n lamps of this type are tested for a period of T hours and the number X of lamps that fail during this period is observed, but the times at which t

Introduction to Probability 1
One of two doctors, Dr. Hibbert and Dr. Nick, is called upon to perform a series of n surgeries. Let H be the indicator r.v. for Dr. Hibbert performing the surgeries, and suppose that E(H) = p. Given that Dr. Hibbert is performing the surgeries, each surgery is successful with probability a, independ
