Cards are picked sequentially without replacement from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards until either all SPADES are found or all CLUBS are found. Let X denote the number of cards picked. Find E(X) using indicator random variables.
Random variable x is the total number of successes in 6 repeated Bernoulli trials. Each trial is independent of each other, and the the probablity of success on a single trial, p = 0.9, is the same from trial to trial. Compute the probability that x is at most 4.

3.37 In 2003, the average combined SAT score (math and verbal) for college-bound students in the United States was 1026. Suppose that approximately 45% of all high school graduates took this test and that 100 high school graduates are randomly selected from among all high school grads in the United States. Which of the following random variables has a distribution that can be approximated by a binomial distribution? Whenever possible, give the values for n and p. a The number of students who took the SAT b The scores of the 100 students in the sample c The number of students in the sample who scored above average on the SAT d The amount of time required by each student to complete the SAT e The number of female high school grads in the sample
What does the memoryless property refer to? An event cannot occur if it has already occured within a recent specified time period. The distribution of the time until an event does not depend on how much time has already passed. The occurrence of an event is independent of the number of times that event has already occurred. None of the above.

A large bag contains pretzels with 3 different shapes: heart, square, circle . Billy plans to reach into the bag and draw out one pretzel at a time, stopping only when he has at least one pretzel of each type. Let the random variable X denote the number of pretzels that Billy will draw from the bag. You can assume that there is an infinite number of pretzels in the bag with equal proportions of each shape. Find E(X).
