Let X be the outcome of rolling a fair six-sided dice. The
possible outcomes or X are 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 and all are equally
likely. What is the cumulative distribution function F(x)?
Let a random experiment consist of tossing two fair six sided
dice. Let x be the minimum number shown on the dice.
Determine the closed form PMF of x.
Hint: Creating a chart for all possible combinations of the two
rolls may be helpful.
Consider the experiment of rolling a six-sided fair die. Let
X
denote the number of rolls it takes to obtain the first 5,
Y denote the number of rolls until the first 2, and Z denote
the number of rolls until the first 4. Numerical answers are
needed only for parts (a) and
(b). Expressions are sufficient for parts (c), (d), and (e).
a) E[X|Y = 1 or Z = 1]
b) E[X|Y = 1 and Z = 2]
c)...
An experiment consists of rolling six-sided dice
twice.

1. Three six-sided dice are rolled. Let X be the sum of the
dice. Determine the range of X and compute P(X = 18) and P(X ≤
4).
2. An urn contains 5 red balls and 3 green balls. (a) Draw 3 balls
with replacement. Let X be the number of red balls drawn. Determine
the range of X and compute P(X = 3) and P(X 6= 1). (b) Draw 3 balls
without replacement. Let Y be the number of...
When two fair six-sided dice are simultaneously thrown, these
are two of the possible results that could occur: Result 1: a 5 and
a 6 are obtained in any order. result 2: a 5 is obtained on each
die. Which of the following statements is correct? Explain
reasoning.
a. the prob. is equal
b. prob of result 1 is higher
c. prob of result 2 is higher
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...
7. [10
marks] Consider an experiment of rolling two regular (or
fair) balanced six-sided dice. a) List out all the possible
outcomes.
b) Define X as the amount you will win
in the following game.
You will win $100 when a double (two
identical numbers) is rolled; you will win $10 when an odd sum is
rolled; and you will win $30 when other even sum is rolled,
excluding doubles. Define X as the amount you will win in this...
