Activity1 "Rolling a Dice" In rolling an unbiased die, what is the average number of spots that would appear? To answer the given queries, let us follow the following steps: Step 2: Determine the Step 3: Multiply each value probability of each possible outcome Probability P(X) Step 1: Identify all possible outcomes time and its respective probability Number of Spots (X) X.P(X) 1 6. 2 6. 3. 4. 6. EX P(X) = = 3.5 Step 4: Find the sum of the products. Step 5: Interpret the result. The value obtained is called the mean of the random variable X or the mean of the probability distribution of X. The mean tells us that the average number of spots that would appear when an unbiased die is rolled is 3.5. This is correct interpretation even though it is impossible to roll a 3.5 on a 6-sided die. This sort of thing often occurs with expected values. There are five (5) steps to be followed in computing the mean of the probability distribution. Step 1: Identify all possible outcomes. Step 2: Determine the probability of each possible outcome. Step 3: Multiply each value and its respective probabilities. Step 4: Find the sum of their products. Step 5: Interpret the result. 11611611161161 6116

Part I: Probability For each of the following problems, you should write your answer as an expression. Do not give the final numeric value. For example, you should write C(4,2)/24 instead of 0.375. 5. You are playing Scrabble and you draw seven tiles: M, A, T, C, H, E, S. You line them up in some random order on your tile rack (assume all orderings are equally likely). The events M, T, and S are defined as follows: M: The tiles M, A, T, H appear consecutively. T: The tile T appears exactly in the middle (fourth position). S: The tile S is either in the first position or in the final position. Calculate the probability of each event; that is, p(M), p(T), and p(S). 5.1 5.2 What is p(MIT)? 5.3 What is p(MIS)? 5.4 5.5 What is p(T|S)? Consider all pairs of events: (M,T), (M,S), and (T,S). Which pairs of events are independent and which pairs of events are not independent? Justify your answer.
