3.) A rat has to choose between 6 doors, one of which contains chocolate. If the rat chooses the wrong door, it is returned to the starting point and chooses again, and continues until it gets the chocolate. Let X be the serial number of the trial on which the chocolate is found. (a) Find the probability function of X. (b) What is the expectation of X?

You and I play the following game: I toss a coin repeatedly. The coin is not necessarily fair and P(H) = p ( the probability of getting a head is p) .The game ends the first time that two consecutive heads (HH) or two consecutive tails (TT) are observed. I win if (HH) is observed and you win if (TT) is observed. (a) Find the probability that I won the game. (b) Given that I won the game, find the probability that the first coin toss resulted in head. (c)If the game is fair, then p =?
You are running a race, where you will run from one end of a 100 meters long field to another. In between, there are two hurdles you need to jump. One hurdle is 20 meters from the starting end, and the other hurdle is 50 meters from the starting end. You can jump the first hurdle on any given try with probability 0.8. You can jump the second hurdle on any given try with probability 0.6. It takes you 1 second per meter of running. So if you succeeded in jumping both hurdles you would make it in 100 seconds. Any time you don’t successfully jump a hurdle you start over. What is the expected time it takes you to finish the race? (Hint: Condition on what happens in your first attempt at running the race)
I am pulling one red ball out of one of three baskets. R= Red ball, B= Basket The chance I pull from the three baskets are the same. P(B1)=P(B2)=P(B3)= 0.33 The probability of pulling a red ball from each basket is given: P(RlB1)= 0.75, P(RlB2)= 0.6, P(RlB3)= 0.45 How do I find the probability of choosing a red ball?

You purchase a brand new car for $15,000 and insure it. The policy pays 78% of the car's value if there is an issue with the engine or 30% of the car's value if there is an issue with the speaker system. The probability of an issue with the engine is 0.009, and the probability there is an issue with the speaker system is 0.02. The premium for the policy is p. Let X be the insurance company's net gain from this policy. (a) Create a probability distribution for X, using p to represent the premium on the policy. Enter the possible values of X in ascending order from left to right. P(X) (b) Compute the minimum amount the insurance company will charge for this policy. Round your answer to the nearest cent
