4) Consider the following experiment: We roll two dice. Let the events E, is the sum of the top faces
is s.
a) Compute each set E,
b) Let us make the random variable X(E,) = s. List the chart of the random variable X. That is the table
with X values on the left and probabilities on the right.
c) Find Pr(X > 7)
d) Consider a random variable Y as follows: Y= 1 IF Pr(X>7) AND Y= 0 otherwise.
*** note this is a simple Bernoulli trial b(Y, Pr( X >7))
Let us make the Bernoulli trial of 20 successive repetitions of the simple Bernoulli trial Y.
That is b(Y,Pr(X>7), 20)
Determine the following information
a) Pr(b(Y=18,Pr(X>7), 20))
b) Notice that the Bernoulli trial b(Y=k,Pr(X>7), 20) gives us the probability that if we roll two dice twenty
times EXACTLY k times the sum of the faces on the two die is greater than 7.
Find the following:
The expected number of times that the faces will add up to a number greater than 7 in 20 trials of the
Bernoulli variable.
The variance of this distribution.
** Hint: We wish to calculate the following: E(b(Y,Pr(X>7), 20)) AND V(b(Y,Pr(X>7), 20))
