Roll two fair six-sided dice, and let X, Y denote the first and the second numbers.
If Z=max {X, Y}, find
- E(Z)
- V(Z)
If Z=|X-Y|, find
- E(Z)
- V(Z)
The possible values of (X,Y) are
{(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),
(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),
(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),
(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),
(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),
(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)}
Thus, Distribution of Z = max{X,Y} is
Z | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
P(Z) | 1/36 | 3/36 | 5/36 | 7/36 | 9/36 |
11/36 |
Thus, E(Z) =
= 161/36
= 4.472
V(Z) =
=
= 791/36 - 20
= 1.972
Now, Distribution of Z = I X - Y I is
Z | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
P(Z) | 6/36 | 10/36 | 8/36 | 6/36 | 4/36 | 2/36 |
hus, E(Z) =
= 70/36
= 1.9444
V(Z) =
=
= 2.0525

The final answer is 4.472 2. You roll two fair, six-sided dice. Let X be the number on the first die. Let Y be the number on the second die. Calculate E[max(X,Y)], the expected value of the larger of the two numbers. There are several ways you can do this. You should try to do this by applying 2D LOTUS to the joint distribution of X and Y , which is extremely simple. To check your answer, you can use...
Two fair 6-sided dice are tossed. Let X denote the number appearing on the first die and let y denote the number appearing on the second die. Show that X, Y are independent by showing that P(X = x, Y = y) = P(X = x) x P(Y = y) for all (x,y) pairs.
Roll two fair four-sided dice. Let X and Y be the die scores from the 1st die and the 2nd die, respectively, and define a random variable Z = X − Y (a) Find the pmf of Z. (b) Draw the histogram of the pmf of Z. (c) Find P{Z < 0}. (d) Are the events {Z < 0} and {Z is odd} independent? Why?
dice is unbiased. Throws independent. Step 1. You roll a six-sided die. Let X be the (random) number that you obtain. Step 2. You roll X six-sided dice. Let Y be the total number (sum) that you obtain from these X dice. Find E[Y] rounded to nearest .xx.
You roll two six-sided fair dice. a. Let A be the event that either a 4 or 5 is rolled first followed by an even number. P(A) = Round your answer to four decimal places. b. Let B be the event that the sum of the two dice is at most 5. P(B) = Round your answer to four decimal places. c. Are A and B mutually exclusive events? d. Are A and B independent events?
