Practical Week 7

1. A fair coin is tossed 4 times. Provided that at least 2 heads occurred within the 4 tossings, what’s
the probability that at least one tail also occurred?

2. Two fair dice are rolled simultaneously. Find the conditional probability of the event that ”both dice
got equal values” provided that the sum of values on the dice is less than or equal six.

3. Find the expected value and variance of the random variable X with given probability distribution

x -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
1 1 1 2 2 1
P (X = x) 14 7 7 7 7
0 14

4. Is it possible to have a random variable X with E[X] = 3 and E[X 2 ] = 7?

5. The joint probability of two random variabbles is given by the following table.

(a) Find P ({X = 1} \ {X > 0})

(b) Find P ({Y = 2}|{X = 1})
(c) Find the PMF of X and Y
(d) Are these two random variables independent?
(e) Find E[XY ]

6. A fair die rolls. Let X be the number on the die and Y be 0 for even X and 1 for odd. Find
covariance and correlation of X and Y .

0 otherwise

(a) Find C
(b) Find expectation and variance of X
(c) Find F (1)

need to have 2 If the probability of an event

is zero it never happens However having it in

our computation does not harm
