Consider a deck consisting of seven cards, marked 1, 2, 7. three of these cards are selected at random. define an rv w by w ¼ the sum of the resulting numbers, and compute the pmf of w. then compute e(w) and var(w). [hint: consider outcomes as unordered, so that (1, 3, 7) and (3, 1, 7) are not different outcomes. then there are 35 outcomes, and they can be listed.] (this type of rv actually arises in connection with wilcoxon’s rank-sum test, in which there is an x sample and a y sample and w is the sum of the ranks of the x’s in the combined sample.)

There are possible outcomes. At the least, you can draw (1, 2, 3) to get a sum of 6, and at most (5, 6, 7) for a sum of 18. Then the PMF is

That is, consider all the possible sums and their integer partitions. For example,

6 = 1 + 2 + 3

7 = 1 + 2 + 4

8 = 1 + 2 + 5 = 1 + 3 + 4

9 = 1 + 2 + 6 = 1 + 3 + 5 = 2 + 3 + 4

and so on.

Then the expected value is

We can find the variance via

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
