This exercise asks you to (partly) verify that linearity of expectation holds even if the random variables are not independent. Consider two 6-sided dice that are rolled independently. What is the expected value of the sum? Now consider the case where the first die is rolled normally and then the second die is set equal to the value shown on the first die. What is the expected value of the sum? Now consider the case where the first die is rolled normally and the second die is set equal to 7 minus the value of the first die. What is the expected value of the sum?
Consider the following definitions for sets of characters: You are given a six-sided die (D6) and a four-sided die (D4). The D6 is weighted so the 6 is three times as likely as any other individual side. The D4 is weighted so the 2 is twice as likely as the 1, the 3 is three times as likely as the 1, and the 4 is four times as likely as the 1. a What is the probability distribution of the D6? (i.e. specify the probability of each outcome) b What is the probability distribution of the D4? (i.e. specify the probability of each outcome) c You roll both dice. What is the probability that you roll a sum of 7? d You roll both dice. What is the probability that you roll a sum of 11?
X is a discrete random variable with the following PMF: P(X = 1.4) = 0.25 P(X = -9.7) = 0.25 P(X = 10) = 0.5 Find the standard deviation of X.
In R, you will use simulations to prove that the binomial distribution is correct. Recall that the binomial distribution has two parameters n and p. There are n trials and each has two possible outcomes, with probability p for “success” and 1-p for “failure”. The binomial gives the probability distribution for the number of successes in n trials. You will conduct simulations with r replicates, where each simulation replicates does n simulated “coin flips”. You will add up the number of successes in each coin flip, and compare the result to the true distribution: Generate n*r values from the uniform(0,1) distribution and arrange these in an rxn matrix. Each value less than p is considered a “success”. For each row from part I, count the number of successes. The number of possible successes ranges from 0 to n. Use the table function in R and the value_counts function in Python and to count up the number of replicates with each number of successes. Make a table that compares the…
A fair coin is flipped 12 times in a row. a What is the probability that it lands on tails exactly one third of the times? b What is the probability that it lands on heads at least twice? c What is the probability that the first flip is heads or the last flip is heads?
A factory that manufactures bolts is performing a quality control experiment. Each object should have a length of no more than 13 centimeters. The factory believes that the length of the bolts exceeds this value and measures the length of 54 bolts. The sample mean bolt length was 13.05 centimeters. The population standard deviation is known to be o = 0.18 centimeters. What is the test statistic z? Ex: 1.23 What is the p-value? Ex. 0.123 Does sufficient evidence exist that the length of bolts is actually greater than the mean value at a significance level of a = 0.01? Select
