A 9-sided die, with faces numbered 1 through 9, is rolled one time, and the number facing up is noted. If the number on the die is less than or equal to 4, a coin is flipped 3 times, noting the result each time (Heads (H) or tails (T)) , and then the experiment ends. On the other hand, if the number on the die is greater than 4, the coin is flipped 1 time, noting the result (Heads (H) or Tails (T)) and then the experiment ends. So some possible outcomes are 1HTT, 4TTH , 5H, etc. Let S be the sample space of this experiment, and determine n(S). (Hint: instead of drawing the whole tree, sketch a partial tree to see the pattern.)

A pair of fair dice is rolled onoe, Suppose that you lose $7 if the dice sum to 5 and win $8 if the dice sum to 11 or 12. How much should you win or lose if any other number tums up in order for the game to be fair? To keep the game fair, you should (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest cent as needed.) if the dice sum to any other number

Ethan has a bag that contains strawberry chews, apple chews, and lime chews. He performs an experiment. Ethan randomly removes a chew from the bag, records the result, and returns the chew to the bag. Ethan performs the experiment 47 times. The results are shown below: A strawberry chew was selected 36 times. A apple chew was selected 9 times. A lime chew was selected 2 times. If the experiment is repeated 600 more times, about how many times would you expect Ethan to remove a lime chew from the bag? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
A new game is being introduced at the Hard Rock Cafe. A ball is spun around a wheel until it comes to rest in one of many spots. Whatever is listed in that spot will be the player's winnings. If the wheel has 15 spots labeled $1, 9 spots labeled $2, and 9 spots labeled $10, how much should a player expect to win on average?

250 adults are practicing every day before taking part in a high-stakes children's game. The game requires them carefully to remove a shape- either a star or an umbrella-from a sugar wafer. 30% of those who choose stars on a given day will switch to umbrellas the next day, and 20% of those who choose umbrellas on a given day will switch to stars the next day. (a) If 150 contestants practice with stars today, how many will practice with umbrellas tomorrow? (b) If the actual game is held a long time from now, what proportion of contestants do we expect will be practicing with stars each day close to then?

Two unbalanced dice are thrown at the same time. The first die has the property that the probability of getting a side of 1 and 6 is three times the other side. While the second dice has the property that the probability of the appearance of the sides of the eye 3 and 4 is three times the probability of the other side. If X represents the appearance of the side of the first die and Y represents the appearance of the side of the second die. a. Find the joint probability mass function, P(x,y) b.
