Question: A certain country has four regions: North, East, South, and West. The populations of these regions are 3 million, 4 million, 5 million, and 8 million, respectively. There are 4 cities in the North, 3 in the East, 2 in the South, and there is only 1 city in the West. Each person in the country lives in exactly one of these cities.
(a) What is the average size of a city in the country? (This is the arithmetic mean of the populations of the cities, and is also the expected value of the population of a city chosen uniformly at random.) Hint: Give the cities names (labels).
(b) Show that without further information it is impossible to find the variance of the population of a city chosen uniformly at random. That is, the variance depends on how the people within each region are allocated between the cities in that region.
(c) A region of the country is chosen uniformly at random, and then a city within that region is chosen uniformly at random. What is the expected population size of this randomly chosen city? Hint: First find the selection probability for each city.
(d) Explain intuitively why the answer to (c) is larger than the answer to (a).
