Here is a dice game. You roll a dice once. If you get 6 you win. If you get 1 you lose.Otherwise you keep rolling until you either roll a 2 or a 3 or a 4 or a 5. If you roll a 2 or a 3 or a 4 you win, and if you roll a 5 you lose. Let X denote the number of rolls (a)FindE(X) using the law of total expectation. (b )Find a set of difference equations that characterize the PMF of X along with initial conditions..

You and I play the following game: I toss a coin repeatedly. The coin is not necessarily fair and P(H) = p ( the probability of getting a head is p) .The game ends the first time that two consecutive heads (HH) or two consecutive tails (TT) are observed. I win if (HH) is observed and you win if (TT) is observed. (a) Find the probability that I won the game. (b) Given that I won the game, find the probability that the first coin toss resulted in head. (c)If the game is fair, then p =?
Hi! from the previous explanation I have doubts about how the probabilities of the table are found when using 1,2 and 3 dice. Why is p(x) decreasing as x increases?
A competition offers prize money for players reaching the final. If aplayer reaches the final, he/she will get 1000 dollars. If the player winsthe final and get the champion, another 1000 dollars are offered. Now aplayer has already reached the semi-final, what’s the expectation of prizemoney he would have after the competition?
Find the conditional probability of the given event when two fair dice (one red and one green) are rolled. The red one is 2, given that the green one is 2. X 0.17
A buyer and a seller are bargaining over the sale of an object. The buyer knows that the seller values the object $0 with a probability of 0.25 and he values it $4 with a probability of 0.75. The seller knows that the buyer values the object either $1 or $5, each with a probability of 1/2. The table below shows what happens in each contingency Seller's value is $0 Seller's value is $4 Buyer's value is $1 Trade price is $1 NO TRADE Buyer's value is $5 Trade price is $p Trade price is $4 Find the interval for p such that The buyer with a valuation of $5 is not better-off reporting $1 The seller with a valuation of $0 is not better-off reporting $4. In blank 1 enter the lower value. In blank 2 enter the upper value.
A probability distribution gives the possible values of the random variable and the probabilities of each random variable. Probabilities have to be between 0 and 1. The sum of all the probabilities has to be 1. Additionally, the different values for the random variable are disjoint possibilities. In other words P(Xa and X - b) = 0 if a and b are different outcomes. Fill in the missing value for the probability distribution. P(X) 0.151 X 3 4 5 What is P(X-6)? 0.04 0.026 ?

You purchase a brand new car for $15,000 and insure it. The policy pays 78% of the car's value if there is an issue with the engine or 30% of the car's value if there is an issue with the speaker system. The probability of an issue with the engine is 0.009, and the probability there is an issue with the speaker system is 0.02. The premium for the policy is p. Let X be the insurance company's net gain from this policy. (a) Create a probability distribution for X, using p to represent the premium on the policy. Enter the possible values of X in ascending order from left to right. P(X) (b) Compute the minimum amount the insurance company will charge for this policy. Round your answer to the nearest cent

Round your answers to four decimal places, if necessary. (a) Find the probability that both score more than 175 . (b) Given that Thomas scores more than 175 , the probability that Sarah scores higher than Thomas is 0.4 . Find the probability that Thomas scores more than 175 and Sarah scores higher than Thomas.
