Expected Value 2

Probability Level pending

For 1 k n 1\leq k \leq n , let E k , n E_{k,n} be the expected value of the k-th smallest number of n numbers chosen randomly and uniformly on the unit interval [ 0 , 1 ] [0,1] . Let

A n = # ( j = 1 n i = 1 j { E i , j } ) , A_n = \# \Bigg (\bigcup\limits_{j=1}^{n} \bigcup\limits_{i=1}^{j} \{ E_{i,j} \} \Bigg),

where # ( S ) \#(S) is the size (cardinality) of the finite set S S .

For some positive integers a , b , c a, b, c ,

lim n A n n a = b π c . \underset{n\to \infty }{\lim} \frac{A_n}{n^a} = \frac{b}{{\pi}^c}.

Submit a + b + c a + b + c .


The answer is 7.

Hints:

E k , n = k n + 1 . E_{k,n} = \frac{k}{n+1}.

A n A n 1 = ϕ ( n + 1 ) . A_n - A_{n-1} = \phi (n+1).
