3. An unloaded, 4-sided dice is rolled twice. Let X be the maximum number obtained from the two rolls, and Y be the minimum number from the two rolls. (The dice can show the numbers 1, 2, 3, or 4, each with probability 1/4. As an example, if the two rolls are 1 followed by 3, then X = 3 and Y = 1.) (a) Find the joint pmf of X and Y. (b) Find the conditional pmf of X given that Y = 2. (Hint: part (a) is similar to a problem from Modelling Uncertainty. Please express your answers in table form, and please use fractions in lowest terms.)

6. A smoke detector system uses two devices, an ionization sensor and a photoelectric sensor. If smoke is present, the probability that it will be detected by the ionization sensor (I) is 0.90, by the photoelectric sensor (P), 0.80, and by both devices, 0.72. a) Draw a Venn diagram to represent the problem. b) If smoke is present, determine the probability that the smoke will be detected by the system. c) if smoke is present, determine the probability that the smoke is undetected. d) are the two alarms operating independently. Justify your answer with a calculation.

5. A group of n people stand in a line. On the count of three, each of them simultaneously chooses to look either left or right (with equal probability): at one of their neighbors. Let X be the number of pairs of adjacent people that end up facing each other. (For example, if n = 5 and the random facings are "Left, Left, Right, Left, Right" then only the 3rd and 4th people face each other.) (a) Find the expected value E[X]. (b) Find Pr[X=0]. (c) Assuming n is even, find the maximum possible value of X, and the probability that X is equal to that value.
