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

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.)
