Two fair six-sided dice are tossed independently. Let M = the maximum of the two tosses (so M(1,5) = 5, M(3,3) = 3, etc.).
(a) What is the pmf of M? [Hint: First determine p(1), then p(2), and so on.] (Enter your answers as fractions.)
m | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
p(m) |
(b) Determine the cdf of M. (Enter your answers as
fractions.)F(m) =
m < 1 | ||
1 ≤ m < 2 | ||
2 ≤ m < 3 | ||
3 ≤ m < 4 | ||
4 ≤ m < 5 | ||
5 ≤ m < 6 | ||
m ≥ 6 |
Graph the cdf of M.
