Ever-so-forgetful Mister H has n keys in his key-ring: only one fits the lock in his door, and Mister H has no idea which key it was. Let X be the order number of try which unlocks the door. Calculate the probability mass function and cumulative density function of X, given that Mister H chooses the keys randomly and (a) remembers the keys he has tried, (b) does not remember the keys he has tried.

A tour guide is in charge of overseeing groups of 3 visitors during the trip. There is a probability of 2/3 that a visitor in the group will ask the tour guide a question. The tour guide has been asked by the bus driver to make a hypothesis about the number of questions the next group will ask. 1. Write the table and formula (if any) of the probability mass function for the number of questions asked by the group of 3.2. How many questions should the tour guide expect, and what is the standard deviation?
