As an added incentive for students to do homework for their probability course, the professor randomly picks two students at each class meeting. These two students are asked to explain a homework problem. On a particular day, five students from the class of 20 students have not done the homework. Let the random variable X be the number of students picked who have not done the homework. What is the probability mass function of X?

Jack has just been given a ten-question multiple choice quiz in history class. Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct. Since Jack has not attended class recently, he does not know any of the answers. Assuming Jack guesses randomly on all ten questions, find the probability that he will answer six or more of the questions correctly and avoid an F.

A jar contains 12 coins: 6 pennies, 2 nickels and 4 dimes. A child selects 2 coins at random without replacement from the jar. Let X be the sum of the value of the 2 coins. Determine the probability distribution of X. Please enter the values for x in increasing order. Round your answers to three decimal places, if necessary. Hint: If you are picking two different coins, remember that you can pick one first, then the other or the other way around, and you will still end up with the same two coins. X P(X = x) 2 0.015 If you were to randomly draw two coins from this jar, how many cents do you expect to have on average? (Averages of discrete things CAN be decimals!)
