Question

(a) A fair cubical die with faces numbered 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4 is thrown and the score noted. The area A of a square of side equal to the score is calculated, so, for example, when the score on the die is 3, the value of A is 9.

(i) Show that P(A = 9) = 1/6( 1 over 6 ) 

(ii) Draw up a table to show the probability distribution of A.
(iii) Find E(A) and Var(A).
