A bin of 5 transistors is known to contain 2 that are defective. The transistors are to be tested, one at a time, until the defective ones are identified. Denote by N1 the number of tests made until the first defective is identified and by N2 the number of additional tests until the second defective is identified. Find the joint probability mass func- tion of N1 and N2.

The manufacturer of a fertilizer guarantees that, with the aid of the fertilizer, 65% of planted seeds will germinate. Suppose the manufacturer is correct. If 7 seeds planted with the fertilizer are randomly selected, what is the probability that fewer than 5 of them germinate?

A certain mite lives in the island named Isla Mujeres, Mexico. A biologist is studying the mite population on the island. Previous researchers concluded that on average 10 mites live in every 1 m2 (meter square). If this biologist is going to study a land that is 2 m2, the probability that she will encounter more than 15 mites is Blank 1. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text..
You are allowed to take a certain test three times, and your final score will be the maximum of the test scores. Your score in test k, where k = 1, 2, 3, takes one of the values from k to 10 with equal probability 1/(11 − k), independently of the scores in other tests. What is the PMF of the final score?

I roll a die with 10 faces numbered 0-9 and obtain a score X. What is E(X)? In order to obtain a random number between 0 and 99 I roll the die twice obtaining scores X and Y, then set Z = 10X + Y (i.e., the first roll determines the "tens", the second roll the "ones"). Is it true to say that E(Z) = 10E(X) + E(Y)?

A large bag contains pretzels with 3 different shapes: heart, square, circle . Billy plans to reach into the bag and draw out one pretzel at a time, stopping only when he has at least one pretzel of each type. Let the random variable X denote the number of pretzels that Billy will draw from the bag. You can assume that there is an infinite number of pretzels in the bag with equal proportions of each shape. Find E(X).
