Our experiment is to roll 2 dice 900 times. The random variable, X, is the number of times that the two dice add up to either 7 or 11. Find E(X), Var(X), and E(X^2). Assuming that the Central Limit Theorem applies, AND that the standard deviation is exactly 12.5, AND not bothering with the half-unit correction, find: P(X>225) P(X<175)

An unbiased coin is tossed four times. Let the random variable X denote the greatest number of successive heads occurring in the four tosses (e.g. if HTHH occurs, then X = 2, but if TTHT occurs, then X = 1). Derive E(X) and Var(X). (ii) The random variable Y is the number of heads occurring in the four tosses. Find Cov(X,Y).
