A coin is tossed three times. X is the random variable for the
number of heads occurring.
a) Construct the probability distribution for the random
variable X, the number of head occurring. b) Find P(x2). c) Find
P(x1). d) Find the mean and the standard deviation of the
probability distribution for the random variable X, the number of
heads occurring.
Q–2: [5+2+3 Marks] Let X be a random variable giving the number
of
heads minus the number of tails in three tosses of a coin.
a) Find the probability distribution function of the random
variable X.
b) Find P(−1 ≤ X ≤ 3).
c) Find E(X).
Let X be the random variable for the number of heads obtained
when three fair coins are tossed:
(1) What is the probability function?
(2) What is the mean?
(3) What is the variance?
(4) What is the mode?
Define the random variable X to be the number of times in the
month of June (which has 30 days) Susan wakes up before 6am
a. X fits binomial distribution, X-B(n,p). What are the values
of n and p?
c. what is the probability that Susan wakes us up before 6 am 5
or fewer days in June?
d. what is the probability that Susan wakes up before 6am more
than 12 times?
Let W be a random variable giving the number of heads minus the
number of tails in three independent tosses of an unfair coin where
p = P(H) = 1 3 , and q = P(T) = 2 3 . (a) List the elements of the
sample space S for the three tosses of the coin and to each sample
point assign a value of W. (b) Find P(−1 ≤ W < 1). (c) Draw a
graph of the probability...
A random variable Y is a function of random variable X, where
y=x^2 and fx(x)=(x+1)/2 from -1 to 1 and =0 elsewhere. Determine
fy(y). In this problem, there are two x values for every y value,
which means x=T^-1(y)= +y^0.5 and -y^0.5. Be sure you account for
both of these. Ans: fy(y)=0.5y^-0.5
Two coins are tossed at the same time. Let random variable be

a. Perform a chi-square test using alpha=0.05 to determine if
the observed frequencies follow the binomial probability
distribution when p=0.50 and n=4.
b. Determine the p-value and interpret its meaning.
The chi-square test statistic is
chi squared, χ2=______
p-value=______
Random variable X is a continuous uniform (0,4) random variable
