Think of an exam with 3 questions. Now assume the student has studied enough that they have a 0.8 probability of answering a question correctly. Let X = the number of correct answers be a random variable. Find P(x=0) Find P(x=3) Find P(x=1) Find P(2<=x<=3) Find P(1<=x<=2)
Ms. Rasu designed a game where you roll a regular die with faces showing numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. If you roll a number that is a multiple of 3 you receive points double the amount of your roll, but if youroll any other number, you lose points the value of the roll. This information is recorded in the attached image.a) Complete the last column of the table.b) Calculate the expected value, E(X). c) Is this game fair? Justify.

I am pulling one red ball out of one of three baskets. R= Red ball, B= Basket The chance I pull from the three baskets are the same. P(B1)=P(B2)=P(B3)= 0.33 The probability of pulling a red ball from each basket is given: P(RlB1)= 0.75, P(RlB2)= 0.6, P(RlB3)= 0.45 How do I find the probability of choosing a red ball?
The events A and B are independent. P(A)=2x, P(B)=3x, P(AUB)=2/3). Find the value of x.
A class contains 40 students. The probability of failing in one of the courses for each student is 0.03, but there is no chance to fail in more than one course. You know that a student failed in a course, the probability that the fail reason in non-attendance is 0.04. All other fail reasons are low average. The examinations are private, so the results are mutually independent. Let X and Y be the numbers of failed students due to non-attendance and due to low average, respectively, in that class this semester. Find the joint MGF
The chance of an IRS audit for a tax return with over $25,000 in income is about 2% per year. We are interested in the expected number of audits a person with that income has in a 16-year period. Assume each year is independent. Part (a) Part (b) List the values that X may take on. X=0, 1, 2,..., 15, 16 OX= 1, 2, 3, OX= 1, 2, 3, OX=1,2,3,... 15, 16 98, 99, 100 Part (c) Give the distribution of X X-B 0.02 □ Part (d) How many audits are expected in a 16-year period? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 0.32 audits Part (e) Find the probability that a person is not audited at all. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) Part (1) Find the probability that a person is audited more than twice. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
A probability distribution gives the possible values of the random variable and the probabilities of each random variable. Probabilities have to be between 0 and 1. The sum of all the probabilities has to be 1. Additionally, the different values for the random variable are disjoint possibilities. In other words P(Xa and X - b) = 0 if a and b are different outcomes. Fill in the missing value for the probability distribution. P(X) 0.151 X 3 4 5 What is P(X-6)? 0.04 0.026 ?

Suppose you are conducting a test of significance to try to determine whether your cat, Hope, will go to the correct object (out of two) when it is pointed to. You test Hope 100 times and finds she goes to the correct object in 70 out of those 100 trials. In this scenario, what is the variable? Whether or not Hope goes to the correct object The 100 trials The proportion of the 100 trials that Hope goes to the correct object The long term proportion (probability) that Hope will go to the correct object
