The newest invention is a three-sided die. On any roll of this die, the result is 1 with probability 1/2, 2 with probability 1/4, and 3 with probability 1/4.

Consider a sequence of six independent rolls of this die.

A. Find the probability that exactly two of the rolls result in a 3.

B. Given that exactly two of the six rolls resulted in a 1, find the probability that the first roll resulted in a 1.

C. We are told that exactly three of the rolls resulted in a 1 and exactly three rolls resulted in a 2. Given this information, find the probability that the six rolls resulted in the sequence (1,2,1,2,1,2).

PROJECT C Roll a 6-sided die 800 times. If you do not desire to roll a die manually, STATDISK can be used to simulate the process. To use STATDISK, go to “Data” at the top of the STATDISK window, and then choose “Dice Generator”. The “Dice Roll Random Sample Generator” window will appear. Then in that window, put 800 in for “Sample Size”, put 1 in for “Num Dice”, and put 6 in for “Num Sides”. Please disregard the “Random...

You have two 5-sided fair dice. If you roll any individual die, the possible results are 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 each equally likely. Let A1 be the random result on the first die, and A2 be the random result on the second die. We define the random variable A = A1 + A2, the sum of values of two dice. Assume the signal X(t) = A for all times t. (a) Is A a discrete or a continuous...
