Step by step solution

01

Given Information.

It has been given 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.

02

Definition of Probability

Probability means the chances of any event to occur is called it probability.

03

Find the probability. 

a) The distribution is shown below so the sample space is given by

S={(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4)(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4)}

Let x= even sum of numbers on dice which is given as mentioned below.

x={2,4,6,8}

Find the probabilities.

P(x=2)=116鈥夆赌夆赌P(x=4)=316P(x=6)=316鈥夆赌夆赌P(x=8)=116

Draw the distribution.

04

Find the variance. 

b) The number shown is even then for odd sum let x=0 so the expected value is given as mentioned below.

E(x)==xp(x)=2(116)+4(316)+6(316)+8(116)=2.5

Find the variance.

Find the standard deviation.

=var(x)=7.75=2.78

05

Substitute the value. 

c) The binomial distribution is given as mentioned below.

f(x)=C(n,x)pxqnx

Where it's given the points mentioned:

n=48p=0.25q=0.75x=15

Substitute the value.

f(15)=C(48,15)0.25150.7533=0.0767

06

Find the probability.

d) The normal distribution is given as mentioned below.

f(x)=12npqe(x)2/2npq

The probability is given as mentioned below.

f(15)=1(2)(48)(0.25)(0.75)e0.5=0.0806

07

Find the Poisson Distribution. 

e) The Poisson distribution is given by

f(x)=(np)xenpx!

Substitute in the above equation.

f(x)=(np)xenpx!f(15)=(480.25)1515!e12=0.0724

Hence, the solutions derived is mentioned below.

(a)

p(x=2)=1/16,p(x=4)=3/16,p(x=6)=3/16,p(x=8)=1/16

(b)

=2.5,=2.78

(c)Forbinomialf(15)=0.0767

(d)Fornormalf(15)=0.0806

(e)ForPoissonf(15)=0.0724

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 p1,p2,....,pnbe the probabilities associated with the n sample points; letx1,x2,....,xn and y1,y2,....,yn, be the values of the random variables x and y for the n sample points. Write out E(x),E(y),E(x+y).

If someone puts theletters into the envelopes at random (one letter in each), what is theprobabilitythat each letter gets into its own envelope? Call the envelopes A, B, C, and thecorresponding letters a, b, c, and set up the sample space. Note that 鈥渁 in A,b in B, c in A鈥 is one point in the sample space.
