Dice. When two balanced dice are rolled, 36 equally likely outcomes are possible, as depicted in Fig. 5.1 on page 198. Let Ydenote the sum of the dice.
(a) What are the possible values of the random variable Y?
(b) Use random-variable notation to represent the event that the sum of the dice is 7.
(c) Find .
(d) Find the probability distribution of Y. Leave your probabilities in fraction form.
e. Construct a probability histogram for Y.
In the game of craps, a first roll of a sum of 7 or 11 wins, whereas a first roll of a sum of 2, 3, or 12 loses. To win with any other first sum, that sum must be repeated before a sum of 7 is rolled. Determine the probability of
(f) a win on the first roll.
(g) a loss on the first roll.
Suppose that a simple random sample is taken from a finite population in which each member is classified as either having or not having a specified attribute. Fill in the following blanks.
(a) If sampling is with replacement, the probability distribution of the number of members sampled that have the specified attribute is a distribution.
(b) If sampling is without replacement, the probability distribution of the number of members sampled that have the specified attribute is a distribution.
(c) If sampling is without replacement and the sample size does not exceed % of the population size, the probability distribution of the number of members sampled that have the specified attribute can be approximated by a distribution.
Under what three conditions are repeated trials of an experiment called Bernoulli trials?
Explain the significance of binomial coefficients with respect to Bernoulli trials.
Sample Size for Proportion Find the sample size required to estimate the percentage of college students who take a statistics course. Assume that we want 95% confidence that the proportion from the sample is within four percentage points of the true population percentage.
