Just to give you a break from all the integrals, here is a mixture distribution problem abouttwo discrete random variables.Suppose I have three dice in my pocket: two fair dice that land on 6 with probability 1/6, anda loaded die that lands on 6 with probability 1/2. I take a random die out of my pocket, rollit 10 times, and count the number of sixes rolled. Let N be the result I get.(a) Describe the distribution of N as a mixture of two distributions we know, and give theweights used in the mixture.(b) What is E[N]?(c) What is Pr[N = 0]?

q13- X and Y are two independent random variables. We know V(X) = 26.43 and V(Y) = 23.67, then V(8X + 5Y) is: a. 862.68 b. 2283.27 c. 329.79 d. 16490.91
Let a be a random variable representing the percentage of protein content for early bloom alfalfa hay. The average percentage protein content of such early bloom alfalfa should be u = 17.2%. A farmer's co-op is thinking of buying a large amount of baled hay but suspects that the hay is from a later summer cutting with lower protein content. A small amount of hay was removed from each bale of a random sample of 50 bales. The average protein content from the samples was determined by a local agricultural college to be -15.8% with a sample standard deviation of S = 5.3%- At a = .05, does this hay have lower average protein content than the early bloom alfalfa?
The third worksheet labeled sample B is a simple random sample with replacement, with seven observations in the sample, from some population. The index i in the first column is just an integer name for each observation. The specific values x in the second column are measures of a random variable X distributed in the population. Now suppose this random variable X is known to have a Normal distribution in the sampled population. You still do not know the population mean and must estimate it from the sample, as you did earlier. BUT NOW, in this question, you know in advance that the true population standard deviation of the random variable X is 4. Compute the standard error (of the sample mean), given this new knowledge situation. i xi 1 74.2 2 72.79 3 70.35 4 74.37 5 73.34 6 78.96 7 77.99

Two coins are taken at random (without replacement) from a bag containing 6 nickels, 5 dimes, and 4 quarters. Let X denote the random variable given by the total value of the two coins. Find E(X). (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Outcomes are thus triples of "heads" (h) and "tails" (t) which we write hth, ttt, etc. For each outcome, let N be the random variable counting the number of tails in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is hth, then N (hth) = 1. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of N as follows: X=2N² − 6N-1. The values of X are given in the table below. Outcome thh tth hhh hth ttt htt hht tht Value of X-5 -5 -1 -5 -1 -5 -5 -5 Calculate the probabilities P(X=x) of the probability distribution of X. First, fill in the first row with the values of X.

An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Outcomes are thus triples of "heads" (h) and "tails" (t) which we write hth, ttt, etc. For each outcome, let R be the random variable counting the number of heads in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is tth, then =Rtth1. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of R as follows: =X−R2−3R4. The values of X are given in the table below.
