Suppose that a die is rolled twice. What are the possible values that the following random variables can take on: (a) the maximum value to appear in the two rolls; (b) the minimum value to appear in the two rolls; (c) the sum of the two rolls; (d) the value of the first roll minus the value of the second roll? If the die in Problem 4.7 is assumed fair, calculate the probabilities associated with the random variables in parts (a) through (d)

Rework problem 27 from section 4.1 of your text involving a poll of registered voters. Assume that 45 percent of voters are Republicans, 35 percent are Democrats, and 20 percent are Independents. A poll taker asks 8 people at random for their party affiliation. Assume further that, because the city is so large, this situation can be approximated by a Bernoulli process. What is the probability that at least 6 of those polled are Democratic voters?

Problem 8 There are three power plants [X. Y. Z] that at any given time each one either generates electricity or idles. Event A is that plant X is always idles. Event B is that at least two plants generate electricity. All outcomes in event B are equally likely. Likelihood of the outcomes that plant X always produces electricity is 40%. If probability of P(AUB)= 93% compute the Probability of the event B? Plant Generate electricity:1; Idling:0 P(A)=60%; P(AUB)' =P(1.0.0) 1- P(AUB) = 7%; P(ANB)=33/3=11% P(AUB) = P(A)+P(B) - P(ANB); P(B) = 4*11% -44% or ; 93% - 60% + P (B) - 11% 60% A (AB).

Example 2.10.1 There are three dice in a bag. One has one red face, another has two red faces, and the third has three red faces. One of the dice is drawn at random from the bag, each die having an equal chance of being drawn. The selected die is repeatedly rolled. (a) What is the probability that red shows on the first roll? (b) Given that red shows on the first roll, what is the conditional probability that red shows on the second roll? (c) Given that red shows on the first three rolls, what is the conditional probability that the selected die has red on three faces?

Problem #8: The backoff torque required to remove bolts in a steel plate is rated as high, moderate, or low. Historically, the probability of a high, moderate, or low rating is 0.57, 0.23, or 0.2, respectively. A sample of 16 bolts are selected for testing. Let X, Y, and Z denote the number of bolts that are independently rated as high, moderate, and low, respectively. Determine the following probabilities.
