2. Suppose a magician has a weighted coin that comes up heads 40% of the time and tails 60% of the time. He tosses the coin 5 times. Define a random variable H to be the number of heads that appear in 5 tosses. a) Find the probability mass function (pmf) f for H and write the pmf in table form. b) Find P(H > 3) c) We have learned that the expected value of a random variable can be thought of as the mean value of the variable. The mode of a probability mass function f on a sample space S is an element x E S that maximizes f. Given this definition, find the mode of f where f is the pmf ofH.

1. There are two boxes. In each box there are 4 cards with a different number printed on it. The four cards have been numbered as 1,2,3,4 in each box. Two cards are drawn random from each box. The random variable X represents the difference between the number on the card from box 1 minus the number on the card from box 2. a) Find the mean of this probability distribution. (i.e. Find E[X] ). Find the variance and standard deviation of this probability distribution. (i.e. Find V[X] and SD[X]) The random variables M and W are defined as follows: M = X+5 and W = (1/2)X+5 Find E[M] and E[W]. Find V[M] and V[W]. Mary and William play a game using the cards in the above boxes. Randomly two cards are drawn, and Mary records his score using the random variable M and William uses the random variable W. They repeat this for a large number of times and compare their scores. Comment on any likely differences or similarities of their scores

A psychologist determined that the number of sessions required to obtain the trust of a new patient is either 1, 2, or 3. Let x be a random variable indicating the number of sessions re- quired to gain the patient's trust. The following probability function has been proposed. f(x) = for x = 1, 2, or 3 6. Is this probability function valid? Explain. b. What is the probability that it takes exactly two sessions to gain the patient's trust? с. What is the probability that it takes at least two sessions to gain the patient's trust?
Open the Excel file GSB 519 Additional Years of Life for Males. The random variable x =.5, 1.5, 2.5,…..,110.5, where x denotes additional years of life beyond age zero. The second column shows the probability that each specific value of x occurs. This column contains the probability mass values, f(x). For example, the probability that a new-born male baby will live 20.5 years (not less or not more) is .00133349, i.e., f(20.5) = .00133349. Find the following properties of the random variable x. a. mean b. median c. mode d. variance e. standard deviation f. skewness g. kurtosis h. coefficient of variation i. Find the value of the distribution function F(x) when x = 65.5. j. How much total probability is contained within two standard deviations of the mean?
