Two twin brothers, Hank and Crank are kicking a ball around in a park. Tim challenges James to a contest on who can kick the ball the furthest and so they agree to terms: two rounds, 10 kicks in each round.
Let:
X = the number of kicks in round 1 for which Crank'skicks travel farther than Hank 's and,
Y = the number of kicks in round 2 for which Crank'skicks travel farther than Hank 's.
We assume that X|p Binomial (10,p) and Y|p Binomial(10,p) are independent.
a) What is E(X + Y|p)? what is E((X + Y)/20|p)?
b) What is the distribution of X+ Y and why?
c) Suppose that the result of round 1 is X = 4 and the result of round 2 is Y = 2. Crank is understandably annoyed with this result, but perhaps not quite ready to concede defeat. Crank 'sprior density for possible p is Beta(10,10), i.e., p ~Beta(10,10). The Beta(a,b) density and expectation generally are:
find the posterior density for p|X+Y = 6, i.e. fpX+Y=6 (p||X+Y = 6). what is the posterior mean E(p|X+Y = 6) and how does this compare to the data only estimate of p, 6/20 = 3/10?
d) Alternatively, suppose that p = 0.3. let W be the distance of Tim 's kicks on a standard scale between (0,1); let Z be the distance of James's kicks, also on (0,1). W and Z are independent with the following marginal densities:
fW (w) = 3w2, 0<w<1;
fZ (z) = tz^(t-1)
what value of t makes P(Z>W) = p = 0.3?

Determining a maximum safe speed
: The central angle is 35 degrees, the superelevation is 0.08, and 20.6 ft is cleared (for sight distance) from the inside edge of the innermost lane. Determine a maximum safe speed (assuming current design standards) to the nearest 5 mi/h.

How long will it be before they meet
: Heather and Mathew walked eastward with a speed of 9.8 m/s. If it takes those 34 min. to walk to the store, how far have they walked.

What is the distribution of x and y and why
: What is the distribution of X and Y and why - Crank is understandably annoyed with this result, but perhaps not quite ready to concede defeat.

Determining maximum acceleration and maximum velocity
: The posItIon of a particle along a straight line is given by s = (t 3 - 9t 2 + 1St) ft, where t is in seconds. Determine its maximum acceleration and maximum velocity during the time interval 0 :5: t :5: 10 s.
