Consider a deck consisting of seven cards, marked 1, 2,…,7. Three of these cards are selected at random. Define anrv W by W 5 the sum of the resulting numbers, and computethe pmf of W. Then compute m and s2. [Hint:Consider outcomes as unordered, so that (1, 3, 7) and (3,1, 7) are not different outcomes. Then there are 35 outcomes,and they can be listed. (This type of rv actuallyarises in connection with a statistical procedure calledWilcoxon’s rank-sum test, in which there is an x sampleand a y sample and W is the sum of the ranks of the x’s inthe combined sample; see Section 15.2.)

A group of fifteen tourists is stranded in a city with four hotels of the same class. Each of the hotels has enough room available to accommodate the fifteen tourists. The group's guide, who has a good working relationship with each of the four hotels, assigns the tourists to the hotels as follows. First, he randomly determines how many are to go to hotel A, then how many of the remaining tourists are to go to hotel B, and then how many are to go to hotel C. All remaining tourists are sent to hotel D. Note that each stage of the assignment the guide draws at random a number between zero and the number of tourists left. What is the probability that all four hotels receive guests from the group?

a bag of hard candies has 6 cherry-flavored candies, 5 lime-flavored candies, 8 apple-flavored candies and 10 strawberry-flavored candies. the cherry and strawberry candies are both shades of red and the lime and apple candies are both shades of green. suppose four candies are randomly selected from the bag. Assume that the individual candies are what matter (not the type).(a) Find the probability of selecting four cherry-flavored candies.(b) Find the probability of selecting two lime-flavored candies and two strawberry-flavored candies.(c) Find the probability of selecting four red candies.
Let A and B be two events with P(A and Bc) = 1. Find P(B). Recall that Bc denotes the complement of the event B.
A certain scientific department is called that the students of the department will take the final exams and get points more than 50 points if they are provided with various questions for previous exams in scientific topics To test this claim, 20 students who are expected to graduate were taken and distributed into 10 pairs, so that in each pair there were two students with the same qualifications, and the results of the exam were recorded as follows. 17 (2 575 543 719 591 660 451 579 663 621 531 Students who studied the questions 524 530 748 568 683 424 502 688 540 509 Students who did not study the questions Test the level of significance of 0.05 that looking at the previous exams questions increases the students' grades by at least 50 points.
A signal will fail to get through a network when the following combination of events (R n R2) U R is true. All three events (R. R2, and R) are statisticaly independent and each has a probability of 0.2. Determine the probability of no signal getting through, i.e. Determine: P ((R n Ra)U R) Select one: O a. 0.352 O b. 0.240 O c. 0.200 O d. 0.060

Suppose a card is drawn at random from a standard deck. Finally for a third time a card is drawn at random from the deck. The card is being shuffled back into the deck. Finally for a third time a car is drawn at random from the deck.
A card is randomly drawn from a deck of well-shuffled playing cards. Let event E be that the card is a king and event F be that the card is a diamond. A standard 52-card deck is split evenly into four suits of cards (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades). Each suit contains the cards ace, 2, 3.., 10, jack, queen, king. a) Find P(E) and P (E'). b) Find P(F) and P (F'). c) Find P(EUF).
