Let G be the number of goals that the Mighty Ducks score in a particular game. Suppose the moment-generating function of G is ??(?) = 0.2 + (0.3 ⋅ ? ? ) + (0.3 ⋅ ? 2? ) + (0.2 ⋅ ? 3? )

a) What is the expected value of the number of goals made, ?[?]? (you can solve either way)

b) Calculate ???[?].

Let X be the number of goal chances that result in goals for a football team over n goals chances. During many matches, the team gets goals of 20% of the chances. a) Explain why it might be reasonable (at least as an approach) to assume that X is binomially distributed in this situation. Do this by going through each of the points that must be met in order for us to use binomial distribution, assess whether it is reasonable...

The goal of the game (program) is let a user input a random number in the range of 0-10, and then give the user feedback as to whether this number is the same, bigger or smaller than the one the computer generated. Given this, the second task is to refine the program we just created so that the program compares the user's input with the secret number to If the user's input is equal to the number, print out the...

Let G be a finite group and H a subgroup of G. Let a be an element of G and aH = {ah : h is an element of H} be a left coset of H. If b is an element of G as well and the intersection of aH bH is non-empty then aH and bH contain the same number of elements in G. Thus conclude that the number of elements in H, o(H), divides the number of elements...
