Roll a pair of 6-sided dice (one blue dice and one red dice) repeatedly, until the sum of
the two dice is 7 or larger. Let X denote the value of the blue die on the final roll, and let Y
denote the value of the red die on the final roll.
PY|x|(3|4) =?
Suppose you play a game that you can only either win or lose. The probability that you win any game is 65%, and the probability that you lose is 35%. Each game you play is independent. Let X is the number of wins If you play the game 20 times.
P(X=13) = 20C13(
If P(A) = 0.3, P(B) = 0.3, and P(A and B) = 0.2, find P(A or B).
P(A or B) =
