Three components are randomly sampled, one at a time, from a large lot. As each component is selected, it is tested. If it passes the test, a success (S) occurs; if it fails the test, a failure (F) occurs. Assume that 82.0% of the components in the lot will succeed in passing the test. Let X represent the number of successes among the three sampled components. Find P(X= 3). (Round the final answer to three decimal places.)

Cards are picked sequentially without replacement from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards until either all SPADES are found or all CLUBS are found. Let X denote the number of cards picked. Find E(X) using indicator random variables.

Q5 One rectangle has base as a random variable X, where X U (0, 1). The height is also a random variable Y, where Y ~ U(0, X). Find the expectation of circumference and area of the rectangle.
There are 2 players in a game. Each player independently picks a real number on the interval [0, 1] uniformly. If the (absolute) difference between the two numbers is less than a (0 < a < 1) and the sum of the two numbers is less than 1, then both players win, otherwise both players lose. What is the probability of winning? 2.
Advanced Math (a) Suppose X, Y, Z:2R are three discrete random variables. Prove that (Px py) Pz Px (py pz). This says that the convolution product is associative. (b) Suppose X and Y are discrete random variables with X Bin(4, ) and Y ~ Bin(5, ). Using the definition of convolution, calculate px + py. (Vandermonde's identity may be useful here.)

An electronics store has received a shipment of 20 table radios that have connections for an iPod or iPhone. Ten of these have two slots (so they can accommodate both devices), and the other ten have a single slot. Suppose that six of the 20 radios are randomly selected to be stored under a shelf where the radios are displayed, and the remaining ones are placed in a storeroom. Let X = the number among the radios stored under the display shelf that have two slots. (a) What kind of distribution does X have (name and values of all parameters)?
