An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Outcomes are thus triple 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 tails in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is hht, then R (hht)=1. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of R as follows X=6R-2R^2-1. The values of X are given in the table below. A) Calculate the values of the probability distribution function of X, i.e. the function Px. First, fill in the first row with the values X. Then fill in the appropriate probability in the second row.

Suppose that the time. in days, required to repair a heat pump is a random variable X having a gamma distribution with parameters k = 8 and A = 2. What is the probability that on the next service call (a) at most 3 day will be required to repair the heat pump? (b) at least 2 days will be required to repair the heat pump? %3D %3D
Let Y1, Y2, Y3 denote independent exponential random variables with respective rates A; for i e {1,2, 3}. Answer the following questions; (a) Compute E[Y1 +Y2 +Y3]Y1 > 1, Y2 > 2, Y3 > 3]. Your answer should be an expression using A;'s. (b) Compute the probability that Yı is the smallest among three random variables. Hint: P(X < Y) = S" Px,y (x, y)dædy where Px,Y (x, y) is the joint density function.
Suppose that a medical test has a 85% chance of detecting a disease if the person has it (P(PT|D)=0.85) and a 90% chance of correctly indicating that the disease is absent if the person really does not have the disease (P(NT|Dc=0.90). Suppose that 95% of the population does not have the disease P(Dc)=0.95 What is the probability that a randomly chosen person will test negative P(NT)?
Suppose a dresser drawer has blue shirts, yellow shirts, red shirts, and green shirts so that if a shirt is pulled from the drawer at random, each color has an equal chance of being drawn. P(Green) = P(Blue) = P(Red) = P(Yellow) = ¼. Complete parts (a) – (d) to create a probability distribution for the number of yellow shirts if two shirts are pulled from the drawer at random (replacing the shirt after each draw). a. List each possible outcome for the colors of the shirts if two shirts are drawn randomly from the drawer. The teacher said there should be total of 16 outcomes, not 9 or 10. In my original answer, I have 10 outcomes when there should be 16. c.Find the probability of each event (not the probability from each outcome) from part (b). For my first answer, I had the probability of each outcome, and I should have the probability of each event.
A certain type of tree has seedlings randomly dispersed in a large area, with the mean density of seedlings being approximately three per square yard. If the seedlings are randomly dispersed, the number of seedlings per region, Y can be modelled as a Poisson random variable. If a 1 forester randomly locates ten 1-square-yard sampling regions in the area, the probability that none of the regions will contain seedlings is 0.0498. 2.3.1 If the seedlings really are randomly dispersed, the number of seedlings per region, Y, can be modelled as a Poisson random variable with 2 = 3. Interpret 1 =3. 2.3.2 State the moment generating function_of the random variable Y.

10. An atom of Uranium-238 is unstable and will eventually decay (i.e., emit a particle and turn into a different element). Given an atom of Uranium-238, the time elapsed until it decays, in years, is modeled as an Exponential random variable with parameter 1 = 0.000000000155. How many years must pass for there to be a 50% chance that the Uranium atom decays?
