HEINZ NIXDORF INSTITUTE University of Paderborn Algorithms and Complexity 9 Exercise 26 (additional exercise) An object moves with a constant speed for a fixed distance d. The speed V is chosen uniformly at random between either v min or v max, i.e. the speed is v min with probability 1/2 and v max with probability 1/2. –What is the average speed v? –What is the expected speed E[V]? –Show that v ≤ E[V] If the speed is constant, one needs a time of t = d/v to cover a fixed distance d. The average speed is given by

HEINZ NIXDORF INSTITUTE University of Paderborn Algorithms and Complexity 10 Exercise 26 P[V = v min ] = 1/2 and P[V = v max ] = 1/2. The average speed is given by E[D] = d is fixed. But what is the expected time E[T]? If the speed is constant, one needs a time of t = d/v to cover a fixed distance d.
