A radio station has a contest in which contestants roll a regular 6-sided die. If he rolls a 1 or a 2, he wins $50. If he rolls a 3 or a 4, he wins $100. If he rolls a 5, he wins $1000. If he rolls a 6, he doesn't win anything.
What is the probability that out of the first 5 contestants exactly 2 win $100?
Homework Answers
Probability to win $100 = Probability to rolls a 3 or a 4 = 2/6 = 1/3
Let X be the number of contestants out of 5 that roll 3 or a 4 (or win $100). Then X ~ Binomial(n = 5, p = 1/3)
Probability that out of the first 5 contestants exactly 2 win $100 = P(X = 2)
= 5C2 * (1/3)2 * (2/3)3
= 10 * (1/3)2 * (2/3)3
= 0.3292181

Suppose Jane has a fair 4-sided die, and Dick has a fair 6-sided die.
1. Suppose Jane has a fair 4-sided die, and Dick has a fair 6-sided die. Each day,they roll their dice (independently) until someone rolls a “1”. (Then the personwho did not roll a “1” does the dishes.) Find the probability that …a) they roll the first “1” at the same time (after equal number of attempts);b) it takes Dick twice as many attempts as it does Jane to roll the first “1”;c) Dick rolls the first “1” before Jane does.

Bob plays a game in which he rolls a pair of fair 6-sided dice once. He adds the number of dots on both dice to create a sum. He loses $1 if he rolls a sum less than 5 doesn’t win or lose anything if he rolls a sum that is higher than 4, but less than 8 wins $1 if he rolls a sum that’s higher than 7 but less than 12 wins $2 if he rolls a sum...

We roll a fair 8-sided die five times. (A fair 8-sided die is equally likely to be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8.) (a) What is the probability that at least one of the rolls is a 3? (b) Let X be the number of different values rolled. For example, if the five rolls are 2, 3, 8, 8, 7, then X = 4 (since four different values were rolled: 2,3,7,8). Find E[X].

Players A and B each roll a fair 6-sided die. The player with the higher score wins ¤1 from the other player. If both players have equal scores, the game is a draw and no one wins anything. i. Let X denote the winnings of player A from one round of this game. State the probability mass function of X. Calculate the expectation E(X) and variance Var(X). ii. What is the conditional probability that player A rolls , given that...
