Take 3 dice and throw these dice 30 times. Let X be the sum of the number of dots on upper faces of the dice.
Obtain probability distribution of X. Also find mean and variance.

6. Team A and Team B are competing in the following game: There are 25 flags planted on the beach. On its turn a team may take 1, 2, 3, or 4 flags. The team that takes the last flag wins. Team A chooses first. You are the captain of Team B. Using backward induction, devise and explain a strategy that guarantees your team will win.

India is the second most populous country in the world, with a
population of over 1 billion people. Although the government has
offered various incentives for population control, some argue that
the birth rate, especially in rural India, is still too high to be
sustainable. A demographer assumes the following probability
distribution for the household size in India.
| Household Size | Probability |
| 1 | 0.03 |
| 2 | 0.11 |
| 3 | 0.15 |
| 4 | 0.24 |
| 5 | 0.16 |
| 6 | 0.16 |
| 7 | 0.11 |
| 8 | 0.04 |
a. What is the probability that there are less
than 5 members in a household in India? (Round your answer
to 2 decimal places.)
b. What is the probability that there are 5 or
more members in a household in India? (Round your answer to
2 decimal places.)
c. What is the probability that the number of
members in a household in India is strictly between 2 and 5?
(Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

i) Plot a cumulative probability distribution similar to the one in the coin
toss experiment, but for the probability of the number of sixes rolled in 10
rolls of a die (a die has 6 sides!).
ii) If we observe four sixes in 10 rolls, is this die likely to be loaded? If we observe a six four times out ten what is a 95% confidence interval on the underlying probability of rolling a six?
iii) Say instead we had rolled 40 sixes out of 100. Is the die likely to be loaded? What is a 95% confidence interval on the probability of rolling a six?
iv) Say instead we had rolled 400 sixes out of 1000. Is the die likely to be loaded? What is a 95% confidence interval on the probability of rolling a six? Hint: use binom.test() for parts ii-iv.

The quality control manager of Marilyn's Cookies is inspecting a batch of chocolate-chip cookies that has just been baked. If the production process is in control, the mean number of chip parts per cookie is 6.3. Complete parts (a) through (d). (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
a. What is the probability that in any particular cookie being inspected fewer than five chip parts will be found?
The probability that any particular cookie has fewer than five chip parts is ? (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
b. What is the probability that in any particular cookie being inspected exactly five chip parts will be found?
c. What is the probability that in any particular cookie being inspected five or more chip parts will be found?
d. What is the probability that in any particular cookie being inspected either four or five chip parts will be found?

You are a surgical oncologist who specializes who specializes in removing liver tumors. You classify a surgery as a success if all tumor tissue is removed, and a failure if it is not. Each surgery has a probability of success p. You only perform one surgery per patient, and the surgeries are independent events, so you can consider each surgery as a Bernoulli trial.
1. What is the probability of having at least 7 successes is you perform 10 surgeries with p = 0.75. Note that this is different than the question of having 7 successes if you perform 10 surgeries with p = 0.75. This question is asking for the probability that k ≥ 7, not just the probability that k = 7.
2. Suppose that you perform 10 different surgeries and p = 0.75. Make a graph with "number of successful surgeries" plotted on the horizontal axis and "probability" plotted on the vertical axis.
