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.

4. Eight rooks are placed randomly on a chess board. What is the probability that none of the rooks can capture any of the other rooks? (In non-chess terms: Randomly pick 8 unit squares from an 8 x 8 square grid. What is the probability that no two squares share a row or a column?) Hint: How many choices do you have to place rooks in the first row? After you have made your choice, how many choices do you...

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(F) and argue that PF) is the desired probability.)

2. If 8 rooks (castles) are randomly placed on a chessboard, compute the proba 3. If 20 people, including Alice and Bob, are arranged in a circle, what is the probability that Alice and Bob are NOT next to each other?

Eight rooks are placed randomly on a chess board. What is the probability that none of the rooks can capture any of the other rooks? Translation for those who are not familiar with chess: pick 8 unit squares at random from an 8 × 8 square grid. What is the probability that no two chosen squares share a row or a column? Hint. You can think of placing the rooks both with or without order, both approaches work.

Exercise I: More dice rolls You repeatedly throw a dice. 1. Compute the probability of the following events. Write these events precisely using other events, and say where you use assumptions such as independence or disjoint- ness. Give your results as a single simplified fraction. (a) The first roll is even and the second one is odd. (b) The first five rolls are even. (c) The first roll is even and the second one is odd, or the first roll...

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...

PROBABLITY 2A. Suppose that there is a prize ceremony awarding prizes to 10 finalists. Each finalist is going to get exactly one prize, but assume that each has an equal probability of receiving any given prize. The grand prize is $5000, there are 2 prizes of $2000, 2 prizes of $1000 and 5 prizes of $200. Let X represent the amount of money won by one prize recipient. Find E(X), var(X) and σ for X. 2B. A pair of dice...

Write a Python (version 3.5.2) program that simulates how often certain hands appear in Yahtzee. In Yahtzee, you roll five dice and then use those dice to make certain combinations. For example, the Yahtzee combination is formed by all five dice having the same value. A large straight occurs when all of the dice are in consecutive order (e.g., 1,2,3,4,5 or 2,3,4,5,6). If you haven’t played Yahtzee, you can find out more from various online sources such as Wikipedia. Once...
