The discussion revolves around a probability problem involving the sum of Bernoulli random variables, specifically expressed as S = summation(i,m)XiYi. Participants are unable to view the problem due to an invalid attachment link, which has hindered responses. The lack of visibility of the problem is a significant barrier to providing assistance. Clarification or a working attachment is necessary for further discussion. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of accessible problem statements in collaborative problem-solving.

1. The problem is attached



Homework Equations





3. We can express S as the sum of the product of two Bernoulli random variables, X and Y. Then S = summation(i,m)XiYi

I can't see your attachment, so don't know the problem. Perhaps that is the reason for no responses at this time.
 
This is what I see when I follow your second link.

Thread 'Distance between a Clock's hands when the distance is increasing most rapidly'

Question: A clock's minute hand has length 4 and its hour hand has length 3. What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
