Suppose that the genders of the three children of a certain family are soon to be revealed. Outcomes are thus triples of "girls" (g) and "boys" (b), which we write gbg, bbb, etc. For each outcome, let R be the random variable counting the number of girls in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is gbb, then =Rgbb1. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of R as follows: =X−2R−R22. The values of X are given in the table below. Outcome ggb gbb bgb bbb bbg bgg ggg gbg Value of X −2 −1 −1 −2 −1 −2 −5 −2 Calculate the values of the probability distribution function of X , i.e. the function pX . First, fill in the first row with the values of X . Then fill in the appropriate probabilities in the second row. Value x of X pXx

J 2 Uncorrelated random variables are not necessarily independent, however. A special situation occurs in the case of jointly Gaussian random variables. For the Gaussian case, uncorrelated random variables are also independent. I donot understand thses sentence. Please explain it through an example.
A coin is tossed 4 times and gives four heads in a row. You say “I guess that the fifth toss will result into a head with a probability of 1.”
An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Outcomes are thus triples of "heads" (h) and "tails" (*) which we write hth, ttt, etc. For each outcome, let N be the random variable counting the number of heads in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is ttt, then N (ttt) = 0. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of N as follows: X=2N -2. The values of X are given in the table below. Outcome ttt hth tht htt thh hhh hht tth Value of X -2 2 0 0 2 4 2 0 Calculate the probabilities P(X=*) of the probability distribution of X. First, fill in the first row with the valuesof X.

A pathologist has been studying the frequency of bacterial colonies within the field of a microscope using samples of throat cultures from healthy adults. Long-term history indicates that there is an average of 2.80 bacteria colonies per field. Let r be a random variable that represents the number of bacteria colonies per field. Let O represent the number of observed bacteria colonies per field for throat cultures from healthy adults. A random sample of 100 healthy adults gave the following information. 2 3 4 5 or more 13 18 28 16 17 8 (a) The pathologist wants to use a Poisson distribution to represent the probability of r, the number of bacteria colonies per field. The Poisson distribution is given below. P(r) = r! Here 1 = 2.80 is the average number of bacteria colonies per field. Compute P(r) for r = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 or more.
