TIFR ECE 2019 | Question: 8
Let $K$ be a cube of side $1$ in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$, with its centre at the origin, and its sides parallel to the co-ordinate axes. For $t \geq 0$, let $K_{t}$ be the set of all points in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ whose Euclidean distance to $K$ is less than or equal to $t$ ... $V \leq \frac{4}{3} \pi\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+t\right)^{3}$ $V \geq(1+2 t)^{3}$

TIFR ECE 2019 | Question: 9
Consider a coin which comes up heads with probability $p$ and tails with probability $1-p$, where $0 < p < 1.$ Suppose we keep tossing the coin until we have seen both sides of the coin. What is the expected number of times we would have seen tails? (Hint: the expected number of ... $(1/p.)$ $\frac{1}{p}$ $1+\frac{1}{1-p}$ $p+\frac{1}{p}-1$ $2$ None of the above

TIFR ECE 2019 | Question: 12
Consider an urn with $a$ red and $b$ blue balls. Balls are drawn out one-by-one, without replacement and uniformly at random, until the first red ball is drawn. What is the expected total number of balls drawn by this process? (Hint: Consider deriving an appropriate recurrence.) $\frac{a+b}{a+1}$ $\frac{a+b+1}{a}$ $\frac{a+b}{a}$ $\frac{a+b+1}{a+1}$ $a$
