TOPIC:Use of the Central limit theorem to find the required
probability.
A regular six-sided die and a regular eight-sided die are rolled
to find the sum. Determine the probability distribution for the sum
of the two dice. Create a frequency histogram for the probability
distribution and determine the expected sum of the two dice.
A fair six-sided die is rolled repeatedly until the third time a
6 is rolled. Let X denote the number of rolls required until the
third 6 is rolled. Find the probability that fewer than 5 rolls
will be required to roll a 6 three times.
Example 4: A fair six-sided die is rolled six times. If
the face numbered k is the outcome on roll k for k = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6 we say that a match has occurred. The experiment is called a
success if at least one match occurs during the six trials.
Otherwise, the experiment is called a failure. The outcome space is
O = {success, failure}. Let event A = {success}. Which value has
P(A)?
**This question has...
A fair 4-sided die is rolled, let X denote the outcome. After
that, if X = x, then x fair coins are tossed, let Y denote the
number of Tails observed. a) Find P( X >= 3 | Y = 0 ). b) Find
E( X | Y = 2 ). “Hint”: Construct the joint probability
distribution for ( X, Y ) first. Write it in the form of a
rectangular array with x = 1, 2, 3, 4 and...
A fair die is rolled twice. Let X and Y be the smallest and
largest, respectively, number that appears in the two rolls.
(a) Determine the probability mass function of (X, Y). (Write a
formula forP(X=i, Y=j)or give a table of values.)
(b) Are X and Y independent?
(c) Find E(X+Y). (Give your answer as a decimal number.)
A fair die is rolled twice. Let X be the maximum of the two
rolls. Find the distribution of X.
Let Y be the minimum of the two rolls. Find the variance of
Y.
A balanced die with six sides is rolled 60 times. For the
binomial distubtion of X = Numbers of 6’s, what is n, what is p,
and what is q Find the mean and standard deviation of the
distribution of X. What do these values tell you? If you observe X
= 2, would you be skeptical that the die is balanced? Explained
why, based on the mean and standard deviation of . How long would
the value of X...
2. Three fair dice are rolled. Let X be the sum of the 3
dice.
(a) What is the range of values that X can have?
(b) Find the probabilities of the values occuring in part (a);
that is, P(X = k) for each k in part (a). (Make a table.)
3. Let X denote the difference between the number of heads and
the number of tails obtained when a coin is tossed n times.
(a) What are the possible...
A fair coin is tossed, and a fair die is rolled. Let H be the
event that the coin lands on heads, and let S be the event that the
die lands on six. Find P(H or S).
Let Y be the sum of two fair six-sided die.
(a) Find the PMF of Y.
(b) What is the expected value of Y ?
(c ) What is the standard deviation of Y ?
(d) Interpret the standard deviation you found in the last part
in context of the experiment.
(e) Find the CDF of Y.
(f) Use the CDF of Y to find the probability that the sum of the
dice will be strictly between six and ten....
