A biased coin, with a 40% chance that a tail will come up, is tossed twice. Let A denote the number of tails on the first toss and B the total number of tails on the 2 tosses. Find A. the joint probability distribution of A and B; B. the marginal distribution of A C. the probability (B≥1) D. the conditional distribution of B given A=1 E. The probability (B≤1/A=1)

Bill has purchased the insurance policy from an insurance company to cover the value of his new RV in case if it gets totaled for the price of $1300 per year. Bill's RV worth $38000 and the probability of him totaling the RV during the length of the policy is estimated to be 0.1%. Let X be the insurance company's profit. Answer the following questions: 1.

Which one of the following statements is True? The Odds against A equals 1 – Odds in favor of A. For a mound shaped distribution if the skew is positive then the mean is greater than the median. P(n, r) = C(n, r) / r! The probability of an event equals the number of favorable outcomes divided by the number of unfavorable outcomes. A Bimodal distribution is symmetric.
