Here is what Bill does: He picks the fair coin with probability $\frac{9}{10}$ and the biased coin with probability $\frac{1}{10}$. \begin{enumerate} \item (15 points) Bill flips the coins $n$ times and they are all H. What is the the probability that the coin is biased (as a function of $n$)? \item s (15 points) (You might want to write a program for this one.) We want a table of $n$ and the probability of bias if there are $n$ H's. We want the table to go from $n=1$ to $n=20$. The format of the table should be as follows (we only give the first 3 rows and the numbers are made up.). Real numbers should be to 4 places. \begin{tabular}{|c|l|} \hline $n$ & the probability of Bias given $H^n$ \cr \hline 1 & 0.5101\cr 2 & 0.631 \cr 3 & 0.6799 \cr \hline \end{tabular} \end{enumerate} \vfill \centerline{\bf GO TO THE NEXT PAGE} \newpage \item (30 points) \begin{enumerate} \item (15 points) Fill in the following sentence and prove it using the Pigeon hole Principle: {\it Let $A$ be a subset of $\{1,\ldots,1000\}$ such that $|A|=300$. Then there are at least XXX subsets of $A$ that have the same sum. (Give XXX both as a combinatorial thing like $\ceil{\frac{2^{100}}{87}}$ (thats not the answer!) and as an actual number like 55 (thats not the answer, or if it is then thats an accident).} \item (15 points) Fill in the following sentence and prove it using the Pigeon hole Principle: {\it Let $A$ be a subset of $\{-500,\ldots,500\}$ such that $|A|=300$. Then there are at least YYY subsets of $A$ that have the same sum. (Give XXX both as a combinatorial thing like $\ceil{\frac{2^{100}}{87}}$ (thats not the answer!) and as an actual number like 55 (thats not the answer, or if it is then thats an accident).} \item (0 points) Which is bigger XXX or YYY? Is there an intuition for that? \end{enumerate} \vfill \centerline{\bf GO TO THE NEXT PAGE} \newpage \item (40 points) Let $a,b,c\ge 2$. Let $R_2(a,b)$ be the least number $n$ so that, no matter how you 2-color (with R,B) the edges of $K_n$ you will either get a RED $K_a$ or a BLUE $K_b$. (This was called $R(a,b)$ in the lecture.) Let $R_3(a,b,c)$ be the least number $n$ so that, no matter how you 3-color (with R,B,G) the edges of $K_n$ you will either get a RED $K_a$ or a BLUE $K_b$ or a GREEN $K_c$. \begin{enumerate} \item (20 points) Show that, for all $a,b,\ge 2$, $R_3(a,b,2)=R_2(a,b)$. \item (20 points) Show that, for all $a,b,c\ge 3$, $R(a,b,c) \le R(a,b,c-1) + R(a,b-1,c) + R(a-1,b,c)$. \end{enumerate} \item (0 points but its extra credit) This problem depends on the Muffin Lecture. \begin{enumerate} \item Show that $f(22,13)\le \frac{21}{52}$. (Uses Half Method) \item Show that $f(33,20)\le \frac{41}{100}$. (Uses Interval Method) \end{enumerate} MAKE YOUR PROOFS READABLE: use interval diagrams. \end{enumerate} \end{document}
