An instant lottery game gives you probability 0.10 of winning on any one play. Plays are independent of each other. You play 4 times.
a) If X is the number of times you win, contract the probability distribution of X.
b) What is the probability that you don't win at all?
c) What is the probability that you win at least once?
d) What is the expected value of X? What is the standard deviation of X?
Part a)
Probability Mass Function of X is
Probability distribution of X
X | P ( X ) |
0 | 0.6561 |
1 | 0.2916 |
2 | 0.0486 |
3 | 0.0036 |
4 | 0.0001 |
Part b)
Part c)
P ( X >= 1 ) = 1 - P ( X = 0 )
P ( X >= 1 ) = 1 - 0.6561
P ( X >= 1 ) = 0.3439
Part d)
E ( X ) = n * P = 4 * 0.1 = 0.4

An instant lottery game gives you probability 0.02 of winning on any one play. Plays are independent of each other. If you play 7 times What P(winning none of your plays)? What is the P(winning at least 2 or more plays)?
Problem: A game gives you the probability .10 of winning on any 1 play. Plays are independent of each other. You play a total of 4 times. Let X represent the number of times you win. a) What is the probability that you don't win at all? b) what is the probability that you win at least once? c) what is the probability that you win once or twice? d) what is the expected value of X? What is the...
In a certain game of chance, your chances of winning are 0.2 on each play. If you play the game five times and outcomes of each play are independent, the probability that you win at least once is (A) 0.6723 (B) 0.1091 (C) 0.2000 (D) 0.3277 the answer is A but how is it A
It costs $6.25 to play a very simple game, in which a dealer gives you one card from a deck of 52 cards. If the card is a heart, spade, or diamond, you lose. If the card is a club other than the queen of clubs, you win $10.00. If the card is the queen of clubs, you win $48.50. The random variable x represents your net gain from playing this game once, or your winnings minus the cost to...
Your probability of winning a game of chance is 0.4. If you play the game 3 times, what is the probability that you will win exactly 2 times?
You play two games against the same opponent. The probability you win the first game is 0.8. If you win the first game, the probability you also win the second is 0.6. If you lose the first game, the probability that you win the second is 0.4. Complete parts a) through e). a) Are the two games independent? Explain your answer A. Yes; all events are independent. O B. No; the outcome of the first game determines the probability of...
7. A carnival game costs $6 to play. The probability of winning is 0.25 and the prize is $30. Let x be the gain or loss of the player each time the game is played. Find the expected value or mean value of x. 8. Find the standard deviation of the following discrete probability distribution. A=0.1 x P(x) 0 A 1 0.4 2 1-A 9. A bag contains 1 green marble and 3 red marbles. 3 times a marble is...
Let X denote the number of times you have to play a game in order to win once. Assume attempts are independent, and that the chance of winning each time you play is p. (a) Find the probability that X is even (as a function of p). [Hint: You’ll use a geometric series from calculus.] (b) What happens to your answer to (a) as p → 1?
Use the fact that the mean of a geometric distribution and the variance i A daily number lottery chooses three balls numbered 0 to 9. The probability of winning the lottery is . Let x be the number of times you play the lottery before winning the first time. (a) Find the mean, variance, and standard deviation. (b) How many times would you expect to have to play the lottery before winning? It costs $1 to play and winners are...
You play two games against the same opponent. The probability you win the first game is 0.70 If you win the first game, the probability you also win the second is 0.50 If you lose the first game, the probability that you win the second is 0.20 Complete parts a) through e). a. Are the two games independent? b. What's the probability you lose both games? c. What's the probability you win both games? d. Let random variable X be...
