6. 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]) b) 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 c) Find E[M] and E[W]. d) Find V[M] and V[W]. e) 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 sample of 820 adults showed that 31 of them had no credit cards, 178 had one card each, 98 had two cards each, 81 had three cards each, 90 had four cards each, and 342 had five or more cards each. Suppose one adult is randomly selected from these 820 adults. Find the probability that this adult has exactly three credit cards. Round your answer to two decimal places.P(A)=
