Suppose you have a hat with 14 slips of paper numbered 1 through 14 in it and a fair 4-sided die. You draw a slip of paper from the hat at random; let H be the random variable representing the number on the paper. Then you roll the die until you get a 3; let D be the random variable representing the number of times you roll the die. What is E[H + D]?

Sarah throws a fair die multiple times, recording the total number of "2"s she throws and then calculating the proportion of "2"s she has thrown so far after each throw. She then constructs a graph to visualize her results. Which of the following statements is FALSE? a. This is an example of the law of large numbers. b. The theoretical probability of getting a 2 is 0.167 for each throw. c. The relative frequency of "2"s thrown changes as Sarah throws the die more. d.

How could you use a random-digit generator or random-number table to simulate rain if you knew that 30% of the time with conditions as you have today, it will rain? Choose the correct answer below. O A. Let the digit 3 represent "rain," and let any other digit represent "no rain." Generate random digits and record the results. O B. Let the digits 1, 2, and 3 represent "rain," and let the digits 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 represent "no rain." Generate random digits and record the results. OC. A random-digit generator or random-number table cannot be used to simulate rain. O D. Let the digits 0, 1, and 2 represent "rain," and let the digits 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 represent "no rain." Generate random digits and record the results.

Jack has just been given a ten-question multiple choice quiz in history class. Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct. Since Jack has not attended class recently, he does not know any of the answers. Assuming Jack guesses randomly on all ten questions, find the probability that he will answer six or more of the questions correctly and avoid an F.
