1. Three 6-sided dice are tossed. Let X denote the sum of the 3 values that occur.
(a) How many ways can we have X = 3.
(b) How many ways can we have X = 4.
(c) How many ways can we have X = 5.
(d) How many ways can all three dice give the same value?
(e) How many ways can the dice give three distinct values?
(f) How many ways can the first toss be the largest of the three values (that is, the first toss is equal to or larger than the others)?
2. Four married couples are seated at a circular table, alternating in seats by sex. How many ways can the couples be seated so that no one sits next to his or her spouse?

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.

Let S(sub k) denote the event that the sum of three fair typical six-sided dice is k. Assume that one die is red, one is green and one is blue so that the three dice are distinguishable. Compute P(S(sub k), for all values of k.

The Dice game of "Pig" can be played with the following rules. 1. Roll two six-sided dice. Add the face values together. 2. Choose whether to roll the dice again or pass the dice to your opponent. 3. If you pass, then you get to bank any points earned on your turn. Those points become permanent. If you roll again, then add your result to your previous score, but you run the risk of losing all points earned since your...

The next three questions (5 to 8) refer to the following: An unfair coin is tossed three times. For each toss, the probability that the coin comes up heads is 0.6 and the probability that the coin comes up tails is 0.4. If we let X be the number of coin tosses that come up heads, observe that the possible values of X are 0, 1, 2, and 3. Find the probability distribution of X. Hint: the problem can be...
