:(a) Suppose that Martian dice are regular tetrahedra with vertices labelled 1 to 4. Two such dice are tossed and the sum of the numbers showing is even. Let x be this sum. Set up the sample space for x and the associated probabilities.
(b) Find E(x) and.
(c) Find the probability of exactly fifteen 2’s in 48 tosses of a Martian die using the binomial distribution.
(d) Approximate (c) using the normal distribution.
(e) Approximate (c) using the Poisson distribution.
A die is thrown 720 times.
(a) Find the probability that3comes up exactly 125 times.
(b) Find the probability that 3 comes up between115and 130 times.
Assuming a normal distribution, find the limitsfor a 90%confidence interval; for a 95%confidence interval; for a 99%confidence interval. What percent confidence interval isHints: See Section, Example, and Problems,, and.
Supposepeople want to schedule a regular meeting one evening a week. What is the probability that there is an evening when everyone is free if each person is already busy one evening a week?
How that the expectation of the sum of two random variables defined over the same sample space is the sum of the expectations. Hint: Let be the probabilities associated with the n sample points; let and , be the values of the random variables x and y for the n sample points. Write out .
