5. A pair of dice is rolled until a sum of either 5 or 7 appears. Find the probability that a 5 occurs first. (Hint: Let Fn denote the event that a 5 occurs on the nth roll and no 5 or 7 occurs on the first n 1 rolls. Compute P(Fn) and argue that Σ 1 P(F, ) is the desired probability.)
4. If 8 rooks (castles) are randomly placed on a chessboard, compute the probability that none of the rooks can capture any of the others. That is, compute the probability that no row or file contains more than one rook. 5. A pair of dice is rolled until a sum of either 5 or 7 appears. Find the probability that a 5 occurs first. (Hint: Let F denote the event that a 5 occurs on the nth roll and no...
Two dice are rolled repeatedly until the sum of the two numbers rolled is 10 or more. a) What is the probability that exactly 5 rolls are needed? (Count each time you roll the dice as one roll). b) What is the probability that more than 5 rolls are needed? c) Find the expected number of rolls.
Rolling Dice 2. A pair of dice is rolled. Here is the sample space (all of the possible outcomes) of rolling a pair of dice. First Die a) In how many different ways can we roll a 7 (as the sum of the two dice)? What is the probability of rolling a 7? 2 3 4 5 6 7 3 4 5 6 7 8 b) In how many ways can we roll a sum that is divisible by 3?...
(A) A pair of dice is rolled one time, what is the probability of getting sum of 8 or double. (B) A pair of dice is rolled 5 times, what is the probability of getting sum of 8 or double on all 5 rolls
Two distinct dice will be rolled until the first time the sum on the two dice is seven. What is the probability that this will happen at the fourth roll?
8. Suppose a pair of dice are rolled 3000 times and the sum on the dice is 2 on 480 of those rolls. What is the empirical probability that the sum on the dice is 2? (6 pts.)
A die is rolled until either 4 or 5 appears. Find the probability that a 5 occurs first. Simplify the answer
Example Consider the following dice game. A pair of standard ( fair ) dice are repeatedly rolled. If a ’ 7 ’ comes up before an ’ 11 ’ , then the player wins, otherwise the player loses. Let W be the event that the player wins. Find P(W). To say the dice are fair is equivalent to assuming that Laplace’s rule holds and the 36 possible outcomes for a throw of the dice are equally likely. For convenience, an...
A pair of dice is rolled, and the number that appears uppermost on each die is observed. Refer to this experiment and find the probability of the given event.One die shows a 5, and the other is a number less than 2.
