Suppose we would roll two standard 6-sided dice.
(a) Compute the expected value of the sum of the rolls.
(b) Compute the variance of the sum of the rolls.
(c) If X represents the maximum value that appears in the two
rolls, what is the expected value of X? What’s the probability of
sum = 7?
Suppose we roll two fair dice. Let D1 be the random variable
that denotes the value of the first dice and D2 the sum of the
numbers of both dice.
a) Calculate the joint mass function of D1 and D2.
b) Calculate the conditional mass function of D1 given D2 =
d2.
c) Calculate the conditional mass function of D2 given D1 =
d1.
d) Are the variables D1 and D2 independent? Argue your answer.
You roll two fair dice. Let A be the event that the sum of the
dice is an even number. Let B be the event that the two results are
different.
(a) Given B has occurred, what is the probability A has also
occurred?
(b) Given A has occurred, what is the probability B has also
occurred?
(c) What is the probability of getting a sum of 9?
(d) Given that the sum of the pair of dice is 9...
Suppose you roll two 6 sided dice, letting X be the sum of the
numbers shown on the dice and Y be the number of dice that show an
odd number.
a) Find the joint pmf of <X,Y>
b) Find the marginals pmf's for both variables.
c) Are X and Y independent?

1. Suppose that you roll two dice simultaneously. Let X be the
random variable that gives the product of the two die outcomes. Let
f(x) = P(X = x) be the probability distribution for X.
(a) Is X discrete or continuous?
(b) What is f(12)?
(c) If F(x) is the cumulative distribution function, what is
F(4)?
This problem concerns the dice game craps. On the first roll of two
dice, you win instantly with a sum of 7 or 11 and lose instantly
with a roll of 2,3, or 12. If you roll another sum, say 5, then you
continue to roll until you either roll a 5 again (win) or roll a 7
(lose). How do you solve for the probability of winning?
