1. Consider three random X₁, X2, and X3. Suppose that we have pairwise independence (i.e. X₁ is independent of X2, X2 is independent of X3, and X₁ is independent of X3). Then, X₁, X2, and X3 are mutually independent. True or false, give reasoning.

8 For this problem, assume there are 3 grey females, 4 grey males, 2 white females, and 3 white males. As in the book, the biologist selects two mice randomly. (1) What is the probability of selecting two males given that both are grey? (2) What is the probability of selecting 1 mouse of each gender given that both are grey?
Count the number of ways to get 12 by the 5-dice, i.e., to represent 12 = x₁ + x₂ + x3 + X4 + X5, where 1 ≤ x ≤ 6 (1+2+3+4+3 is different from 2+1+3+3+4).
Suppose you are playing a game of Yahtzee. You know that you play with 5 dice, each with 6 sides. Since the dice are all rolled at the same time, let the roll (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) to be equal to (2, 4, 5, 1, 3). Assume for this question that we will only be rolling the dice once. (i) How many ways can you roll all the dice? (ii) To win 50 points you would need all the dice to roll the same number (ex. (1, 1, 1, 1, 1)). How many ways can you win the 50 points? (iii) Suppose you are trying to get your dice to roll only consecutive numbers (ex. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) or (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)) How many different ways are there to do this? (iv) Suppose instead you are trying to get your dice to roll 4 consecutive numbers (ex. (1, 2, 3, 4, 1) or (2, 3, 4, 5, 3)) How many different ways are there to do this? (make sure to not count any only consecutive numbers) This is a combinatorics math counting problem.
On a 5 question multiple choice test there are five possible answers, of which one is correct. If a student guesses randomly and independently, what is the probability that she is correct only on questions 1 and 4? If a student guesses randomly and independently, what is the probability that she is correct only on two questions?
Let A and B be two events with P(A and Bc) = 1. Find P(B). Recall that Bc denotes the complement of the event B.
Suppose you and your roommate use a coin-flipping app to decide who has to take out the trash: heads you take out the trash, tails your roommate does. After losing a number of flips, you start to wonder if the coin-fippine app really is totally random, or if it is biased in one direction or the other. To be fair to your roornmate, you wish to test whether the app is biased in either direction, and thus a two-tailed test is appropriate. You borrow your roommate's phone long enough to flip the virtual coin 16 times and you get 12 heads and 4 tails. To test the wo-talled nuil hypothesis, you wil have to look at the probabilties) of which possible outcomes? O Getting 0 heads O Getting 1 head O Getting 2 heads O Getting 3 heads Getting 4 heads O Getting 5 heads O Getting 6 heads OGetting 7 heads Getting 8 heads O Getting 9 heads Getting 10 heads O Getting 11 heads O Getting 12 heads O Getting 13 heads O Getting 14 heads O Getting 15 heads Getting 16 heads
