  1. The probability of maximum value to appear in the two rolls is P=1136
  2. The probability of minimum value to appear in the two rolls is P=136
  3. The probability of the sum of the two rolls is P=136
  4. The probability of the sum of the value of the first roll minus the value of the second roll isP=136

Step by step solution

01

Given Information (Part-a)

Given in the question that a die is assumed fair. We have to find the probabilities of the maximum value to appear in the two rolls.

02

Calculate the Probability of the Maximum Value to appear in the Two rolls (Part-a)

The maximum value to appear in the two rolls

X=1(1,1)p=136

X=2(2,1)(1,2)(2,2)

X=3(1,3)(3,1)(2,3)(3,2)(3,3)p=536

X=4(4,1)(1,4)(2,4)(3,4)(4,2)(4,3)(4,4)p=736

role="math" X=5(1,5)(5,1)(2,5)(5,2)(3,5)(5,3)(4,5)(5,4)(5,5)p=936

X=6(1,6)(6,1)(2,6)(6,2)(3,6)(6,3)(4,6)(6,4)(5,6)(6,5)(6,6)p=1136

03

Final Answer (Part-a)

The probability of maximum value to appear in the two rolls isP=1136

04

Given Information (Part-b)

Given in the question that a die is assumed fair. We have to find the minimum value to appear in the two rolls;

05

Substitute the values of the First Roll (Part-b)

Substitute the values of the first roll into X

P(X=1)=P{(6,1)(5,1)(4,1)(3,1)(2,1)(1,1)(1,2)(1,3)(1,4)(1,5)(1,6)}=1136

P(X=2)=P{(6,2)(5,2)(4,2)(3,2)(2,2)(2,3)(2,4)(2,5)(2,6)}=936

P(X=3)=P{((6,3)(5,3)(4,3)(3,3)(3,4)(3,5)(3,6))}=736

P(X=4)=P{((6,4)(5,4)(4,4)(4,5)(4,6))}=536

P(X=5)=P{(6,5)(5,5)(5,6)}=336

P(X=6)=P{(6,6)}=136

Final Answer (Part-b)

The probability of minimum value to appear in the two rolls isP=136

08

Given Information (Part c)

Let's consider that a die is rolled twice.

We have to find the probability of the sum of the two rolls.

09

Calculate the Probability of the sum of the two rolls  (Part c)

Let's compute the sum of the two rolls:

P(X=2)=P{(1,1)}=136

P(X=3)=P{(1,2)(2,1)}=236

P(X=4)=P{(1,3)(2,2)(3,1)}=336

P(X=5)=P{(1,4)(2,3)(3,2)(3,1)}=436

P(X=6)=P{(1,5)(2,4)(3,3)(4,2)(5,1)}=536

P(X=7)=P{(1,6)(2,5)(3,4)(4,3)(5,2)(6,1)}=636

P(X=8)=P{(2,6)(3,5)(4,4)(5,3)(6,2)}=536

P(X=9)=P{(3,6)(4,5)(5,4)(6,3)}=436

P(X=10)=P{(4,6)(5,5)(6,4)}=336

P(X=11)=P{(5,6)(6,5)}=236

P(X=12)=P{(6,6)}=136

Final Answer (Part c)

The probability of the sum of the two rolls isP=136

12

Given Information (Part d)

Let's consider that a die is rolled twice.

We have to find the probability of the sum of the value of the first roll minus the value of the second roll

13

Calculate the sum of the value of the first roll minus the value of the second roll (Part d)

P(X=5)=P{(6,1)}=136

P(X=4)=P{(6,2)(5,11)}=236=118

P(X=3)=P{(6,3)(5,2)(4,1)}=336=112

P(X=2)=P{(6,4)(5,3)(4,2)(3,1)}=436=19

P(X=1)=P{(6,5)(5,4)(4,3)(3,2)(2,1)}=536

P(X=0)=P{(6,6)(5,5)(4,4)(3,3)(2,2)(1,1)}=636=16

P(X=−1)=P{(5,6)(4,5)(3,4)(2,3)(1,2)}=536

P(X=−2)=P{(4,6)(3,5)(2,4)(1,3)}=436=19

P(X=−3)=P{(3,6)(2,5)(1,4)}=336=112

P(X=−4)=P{(2,6)(1,5)}=236=118

P(X=−5)=P{(1,6)}=136

14

Final Answer (Part d)

The probability of the sum of the value of the first roll minus the value of the second roll isP=136

In the game of Two-Finger Morra, 2players show 1or 2fingers and simultaneously guess the number of fingers their opponent will show. If only one of the players guesses correctly, he wins an amount (in dollars) equal to the sum of the fingers shown by him and his opponent. If both players guess correctly or if neither guesses correctly, then no money is exchanged. Consider a specified player, and denote by X the amount of money he wins in a single game of Two-Finger Morra.

(a) If each player acts independently of the other, and if each player makes his choice of the number of fingers he will hold up and the number he will guess that his opponent will hold up in such a way that each of the 4possibilities is equally likely, what are the possible values of Xand what are their associated probabilities?

(b) Suppose that each player acts independently of the other. If each player decides to hold up the same number of fingers that he guesses his opponent will hold up, and if each player is equally likely to hold up 1or 2 fingers, what are the possible values ofX and their associated probabilities?

Aand Bwill take the same 10-question examination. Each question will be answered correctly by Awith probability.7, independently of her results on other questions. Each question will be answered correctly by B with probability .4, independently both of her results on the other questions and on the performance of A.

(a) Find the expected number of questions that are answered correctly by both A and B.

(b) Find the variance of the number of questions that are answered correctly by either A or B

For a hypergeometric random variable, determine

P{X=k+1}/P{X=k}

Two fair dice are rolled. Let X equal the product of the 2 dice. Compute P{X=i}fori=1,…,36.

It is known that diskettes produced by a certain company will be defective with probability .01, independently of one another. The company sells the diskettes in packages of size 10and offers a money-back guarantee that at most1of the diskettes in the package will be defective. The guarantee is that the customer can return the entire package of 10 diskettes if he or she finds more than 1 defective diskette in it. If someone buys 3 packages, what is the probability that he or she will return exactly 1 of them?
