1) A teacher is asked to select a male or a female student from one of the two N (Noisy) or S (Silent)
classes at random. In N, there are 2 female and 3 male students and in class S, there are 3 male and 6
female students. Suppose that the teacher goes to the noisy class (Event N) with probability 2/3.
(a) Find the probability that the teacher selects a female student (Event F).
(b) Find the probability that the teacher goes to the noisy class first and select a female student. And
then show that the events N and F are not independent.
(c) Assume, we are given the information that a female student is selected. Find the conditional
probability that the teacher had gone to the noisy class.
2) There are 5 Red, 3 Green and 2 Black balls in a box.
Two balls are selected and removed in succession from the box.
(a) List the elements of the sample space, corresponding probabilities and corresponding values w of
the random variable W, where W is the number of Red balls selected.
(b) Find the distribution function of the random variable W and plot its graph.
3) There are 2 Blue, 4 Red and 6 Yellow balls in a box. Two balls are selected at random from a box
containing 2 Blue, 4 Red and 6 Yellow balls. Consider random variables X and Y as, respectively, the
numbers of Blue and Red balls.
(a) Find the probabilities associated with all possible pairs of values of X and Y, obtain the joint
probability distribution function f(x, y). Draw a probability table corresponding to the values of
X, Y.
(b) Find the joint cumulative distribution function F(1,1).
(c) Find the marginal distributions g(x) and h(y) for each x, y within the range of X and Y.
Redraw the table with marginal values.
(d) Find the conditional distribution of X given Y = 1.
4) A joint probability density function is given f(x, y) = (x + 2y) for 0 < x < 1, 0 < y < 1 and
0 elsewhere. (a) Find the marginal probability density function h(y) and obtain conditional probability
density function f(x = xy = y). (b) Find P(X ≤1Y=2).
