Question:
11. Consider n independent trials each resulting in any one of r possible outcomes with probabilities P1, P2, ..., Pr. Let X denote the number of outcomes that never occur in any of the trials. Find E[X] and show that among all probability vectors P1, ..., Pr, E[X] is minimized when Pi = 1/r, i = 1, ..., r.
