Let X equal the larger outcome when a pair of 6-sided dice are rolled.
(a) Assuming the two dice are independent, show that the probability function of \(X\) is \(f(x)=\frac{2 x-1}{36} \quad x=1, \ldots, 6\)
(b) Confirm that \(f(x)\) is a probability function.
(c) Find the mean of \(X\).
(d) Can you generalise \(E(X)\) to a pair of fair \(m\) -sided dice?
\(\left[\right.\) Hint: recall that \(\sum_{i=1}^{n} i=n(n+1) / 2\) and \(\left.\sum_{i=1}^{n} i^{2}=n(n+1)(2 n+1) / 6\right]\)
We see a pattem in frequencies which are 1,3,5,7,9,11 . which are odd number and hence the
\(f(x)=\frac{2 x-1}{36} \quad x=1,2,3,4,5,6 \ldots\)
b.
For \(\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})\) to be pdf
\(\sum \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=1\)
\(\sum_{x=1}^{6} \frac{2 x-1}{36}=\frac{2 \sum_{x=1}^{6} x-\sum_{x-1}^{6} 1}{36}=\frac{2 \frac{6 * 7}{2}-6}{36}=\frac{36}{36}=1\)
c.
Mean
\(\sum x f(x)=\frac{2 \sum_{x=1}^{6} x^{2}-\sum_{x=1}^{6} x}{36}=\frac{2 \frac{6 * 7 * 13}{6}-\frac{6 * 7}{2}}{36}=4.472\)
The mean when number of sides are \(\mathrm{m}\) is given by
\(\sum \mathrm{xf}(\mathrm{x})=\frac{2 \sum_{x=1}^{m} x^{2}-\sum_{x=1}^{m} x}{36}=\frac{2 \frac{m(m+1)(2 m+1)}{6}-\frac{(m)(m+1)}{2}}{36}\)
\(\frac{1}{36}\left\{\frac{m(m+1)(2 m+1)}{3}-\frac{(m)(m+1)}{2}\right\}=\frac{1}{36}\left\{\frac{(m)(m+1)\{4 m+2-3\}}{6}\right\}\)
\(=\left\{\frac{(m)(m+1)\{4 m-1\}}{216}\right\}\)

(2 points) The area \(A\) of the region \(S\) that lies under the graph of the continuous function \(f\) on the interval \([a, b]\) is the limit of the sum of the areas of approximating rectangles:$$ A=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty}\left[f\left(x_{1}\right) \Delta x+f\left(x_{2}\right) \Delta x+\ldots+f\left(x_{n}\right) \Delta x\right]=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{i=1}^{n} f\left(x_{i}\right) \Delta x $$where \(\Delta x=\frac{b-a}{n}\) and \(x_{i}=a+i \Delta x\).The expression$$ A=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{\pi}{8 n} \tan \left(\frac{i \pi}{8 n}\right) $$gives the area of the function \(f(x)=\) on...

1. Suppose 7 dice are rolled. The dice are 6-sided and fair. a). Find the probability that more than 5 dice show 2 or less (you may leave your answer in unsimplified form). I found this answer to be 5/729= 0.006859 b). Suppose we roll 7 dice and count the number showing 2 or less. We repeat this experiment over and over, each time counting the number showing 2 or less. What should we expect to compute as an average...
