B. A discrete random variable X is any random variable whose possible values either constitute a finite set or else can be listed in an infinite sequence in which there is a first element, a second element, and son on. C. A random variable X is said to be continuous if its set of possible values consists of an entire interval on the number line.

An number cube (a fair die) is rolled 3 times. For each roll, we are interested in whether the roll comes up even or odd. An outcome is represented by a string of the sort (meaning an odd number on the first roll, an even number on the second roll, and an even number on the third roll). For each outcome, let be the random variable counting the number of even rolls in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is , then . Suppose that the random variable is defined in terms of as follows: . The values of are given in the table below. Outcome Value of Calculate the probabilities of the probability distribution of . First, fill in the first row with the values of . Then fill in the appropriate probabilities in the second row. Value of
The probability of some events defined on the sample space Ω = {a, b, c, d} is defined as follows. P ((c, d)) = 3 8 , P ((b, c)) = 3 4 , P ({d}) = 1 8 . Find the probabilities of all the elements in the set Ω using the axioms of probability.

Starting at a particular time, each car entering an intersection is observed to see whether it turns left (L) or right (R) or goes straight ahead (S).

Compute the transition probabilities P;,j: (Hint: At some stage, suppose there are i white balls (and N – i black balls). Think how you can get i or i – 1 or i +1 white balls in the next stage.)

Let n be a positive integer. Suppose you have n objects and n buckets. For each object, randomly place it into a bucket, with each of thenoptions being equally likely. Through this random process, some buckets may end up empty, while other buckets may have mul-tiple objects. For each integer k with 0≤ k ≤n, define pn(k) to be the probability that a randomly chosen bucket contains exactly k objects. By definition, pn(0) +pn(1) +pn(2) +. . .+pn(n−1) +pn(n) = 1. Question: As n→ ∞, determine the exact values (or “limits”) for the probabilities pn(0), pn(1), pn(2), pn(3). Clearly show all of your steps and calculations. Use these results to show that when n is sufficiently large, over 98% of the buckets contain atmost three elements. (This explains why Bucket Sort is such an effective sorting algorithm.)

If four students are randomly chosen from this group, find the probability that exactly two undergraduates will be among the four chosen. [Hint: How many ways are there to fill the posts? How many ways satisfy the condition of having exactly TWO undergraduates selected AND hav- ing exactly two graduates selected?]

5. A group of n people stand in a line. On the count of three, each of them simultaneously chooses to look either left or right (with equal probability): at one of their neighbors. Let X be the number of pairs of adjacent people that end up facing each other. (For example, if n = 5 and the random facings are "Left, Left, Right, Left, Right" then only the 3rd and 4th people face each other.) (a) Find the expected value E[X]. (b) Find Pr[X=0]. (c) Assuming n is even, find the maximum possible value of X, and the probability that X is equal to that value.
A k out of n system is one in which there is a group of n components, and the system will function if at least k of the components function. Assume the components function independently of one another. a) In a 3 out of 5 system, each component has probability 0.9 of functioning. What is the probability that the system will function? b) In a 3 out of n system, in which each component has probability 0.9 of functioning, what is the smallest value of n needed so that the probability that the system functions is at least 0.90?
