- Suppose box 1 has four black marbles and two white marbles, and

marble from one of the two boxes at random, what it the probability
that you picked from box 1 given that the marble you picked is

- A raffle has 5000 tickets with the following prizes: 1 ticket
has $2000 prize, 10 tickets have $200 prize, and 20 tickets have
$50 prize and 500 tickets have a $20 prize. If to buy a ticket
costs $15, and X is the random variable that measures net
profit:
- Calculate the pdf table of X
- Calculate E(X), Var(X)
