Roll a fair die and denote the outcome by Y . Then flip Y many fair coins and let X denote the number of tails observed. Find the probability mass function and expectation of X.
Problem 2 (5 points) Roll a fair die 5 times. Let X denote the number of sixes that appear. • What is yux? • What is ox?
In a game of repeated die rolls, a player is allowed to roll a
standard die up to n times, where n is determined prior to the
start of the game. On any roll except the last, the player may
choose to either keep that roll as their final score, or continue
rolling in hopes of a higher roll later on. If the player rolls all
n times, then after the nth roll, the player must keep that roll
as...
(3.) A fair six-sided die is rolled repeatedly. Let R denote the random variable representing the outcome of any particular roll. The following random variables are all discrete-time Markov chains. Specify the transition probabilities for each (as a check, make sure the row sums equal 1) (a) Xn, which represents the largest number obtained by the nth roll. (b) Yn, which represents the number of sixes obtained in n rolls.
i. Consider a weighted 6-sided die that is twice as likely to produce any even outcome as any odd outcome. What is the expected value of 1 roll of this die? What is the expected value of the sum of 9 rolls of this die? ii. Let X denote the value of the sum of 10 rolls of an unweighted 6-sided die. What is Pr(X = 0 mod 6)? (Hint: it is sufficient to consider just the last roll) *side...
Consider a die with 2 red sides, 2 green sides, and 2 blue sides. Roll the die 5 times, and let X denote the number of times that the die has a red result. Flip a coin 5 times, and let Y denote the number of times that the coin shows “heads." a. Find E(X?Y). b. Find Var?(X?Y).
Consider the setting where you first roll a fair 6-sided die, and then you flip a fair coin the number of times shown by the die. Let D refer to the outcome of the die roll (i.e., number of coin flips) and let H refer to the number of heads observed after D coin flips. (a) Suppose the outcome of rolling the fair 6-sided die is d. Determine E[H|d] and Var(H|d). (b) Determine E[H] and Var(H).

1. Suppose that a weighted die is tossed. Let X denote the number of dots that appear on the upper face of the die, and suppose that P(X = z) = (7-2)/20 for x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and P(X = 6) = 0. Determine each of the following: 116 CHAPTER 4. DISCRETE RANDOM VARIABLES (a) The probability mass function of X (b) The cumulative distribution function of X (c) The expected value of X (d) The...
You roll a fair 6-sided dice, let Y be the outcome of the dice roll. Then conditioned on the event {Y = k} for k = 1, . . . , 6 you randomly choose, X, to be uniformly distributed between 0 and k. a) Use the law of total probability to compute P({X < x}). b) Use part a) to compute fx(x). c) What is the expectation of X.
Two fair 6-sided dice are tossed. Let X denote the number appearing on the first die and let y denote the number appearing on the second die. Show that X, Y are independent by showing that P(X = x, Y = y) = P(X = x) x P(Y = y) for all (x,y) pairs.
