Chains "A" and "B" are made of the same steel. "A" consists of three links and "B" consists of six links, each link having a normal distribution function of the resisting strength with a mean of 60,000 psi and standard deviation of 5,000 psi. Determine which chain is generally weaker (from a probabilistic point of view) by plotting the probability distribution functions of their resisting strengths on the same diagram.

A fair coin is flipped three times. Let X represent the number of heads to occur on the first two flips and Y the number of heads to occur on the last two flips. (a) Find the joint probability function, along with each marginal function, for X and Y. (b) Find cov(X, Y). (c) Are X and Y independent? Explain your answer. Hint: There are 8 outcomes for this expermient, e.g., if the outcome is HTT, then we have X = 1 and Y = 0.
