X is a Random variable representing the outcome of rolling a 6-sided die. Before the die is rolled, you are given two options: (a) You get 1/E(X) in Points right away. (b) You wait until the die is rolled, then get 1/X in Points.
Which option is better in getting Points?

1. Consider a discrete random variable, X, where the outcome of this random variable is determined by throwing a 6-sided die. X takes on integer values 1,2,…,6. The die is fair. That is, P(X=1)= P(X=2)=…= P(X=6). i. Draw the probability distribution function for this random variable. Carefully label the graph. ii. Draw the cumulative distribution function for X. iii. Calculate the following: P(X=4) P(X≠5) P(X=1 or X=6) P(X4) E(X) Var(X) sd(X) iv. Consider the random variable Y where the outcome...

If we roll a red 6-sided die and a green 6-sided die (both are fair dice with the numbers 1-6 equally likely to be rolled), what is the probability that we get (i) A 5 on the green die AND a 3 on the red die? (ii) A 5 on the green die OR a 3 on the red die? (iii) A 5 on the green die GIVEN we rolled a 3 on the red die?

A fair tetrahedron (four-sided die) is rolled twice. Let X be the random variable denoting the total number of dots in the outcomes, and Y be the random variable denoting the maximum in the two outcomes. Thus if the outcome is a (2, 3) then X = 5 while Y = 3. (a) What are the ranges of X and Y ? (b) Find the probability mass function (PMF) of X and present it graphically. Describe the shape of this...
