Rolling a fair n-sided die gives us a random number uniformly distributed among{1,2,..., n} (our usual die is n = 6). Suppose we independently roll a fair n-sided die twiceandobtain numbers X1 and X2.(a) Calculate E(max(X₁, X2)) and E(min(X₁, X2)).(b) Show that your calculation in part (a) verifies thatE(max(X1, X2)) + E(min(X₁, X2)) = E(X1) + E(X₂).(c) Is the above equation simply a coincidence?

A coin is tossed twice. Let Z denote the number of heads on the first toss and W the total number of heads on the 2 tosses. If the coin is unbalanced and a head has a 40% chance of occurring, find (a) P( W=2 | Z= 1) (b) P( Z=0 | W = 1) ; (c) are Z and W independent?
When a man observed a sobriety checkpoint conducted by a police department, he saw 656 drivers were screened and 5 were arrested for driving while intoxicated. Based on those results, we can estimate that P(W)equals=0.00762,where W denotes the event of screening a driver and getting someone who is intoxicated. What does P(W) denote, and what is its value? What does P(W) represent? P(W)=

Please do this short answer question correctly We are going to roll 5 independent dice (like playing Yahtzee - but we will only roll once). The sum of the values of the dice can range anywhere from 5 (a roll of all 5 dice being a 1) to 30 (a roll of all 5 dice being a 6). I have determined that (to the 6th decimal) P(sum of values of the dice ≥ 8) = .997299. (i) Determine the P(sum of values of the dice ≤ 7) (to the 6th decimal). (ii) Provide a brief explanation as to the reason why your answer is correct.
The complement of an event is all possible outcomes not in the event. For example: If A = at least 3 girls are born to a family with 6 kids. Then A' = A compliment is what happens if there are not at least 3 girls = less than 3 girls born to the family. A useful formula: P(A) + P(A' ) = 1 or P(A') = 1 - P(A). If P(A) = 0.194, what is P(A')?
I roll a die with 10 faces numbered 0-9 and obtain a score X. What is E(X)? In order to obtain a random number between 0 and 99 I roll the die twice obtaining scores X and Y, then set Z = 10X + Y (i.e., the first roll determines the "tens", the second roll the "ones"). Is it true to say that E(Z) = 10E(X) + E(Y)?
Compute the power of the test if the researcher uses a sample of n = 4 individuals. The power for the test is the probability of obtaining a z-score than , which corresponds to p = Thus, the power of the test is %.
