Dungeons and Dragons: Part A
A 20-sided die is often used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons. During the game players may face something called a "skill check" where they must roll a 20-sided die and get a result equal to or above a given value. For example, a player may be required to roll a 15 or above in order to succeed and pass the skill check. Rolling a 14 or lower would be a failure.
If the player rolls the die 10 times in a row, what is the expected number of rolls that would pass the skill check by rolling as a 15 or higher?
For the previous calculations, what is the standard deviation for the number of times the die would be rolled 15 or above
During a game of Dungeons and Dragons, the previously-mentioned player rolls the 20-sided die 30 times in total. What is the probablity that they successfully roll a 15 or higher exactly 7 times during that game? Express your final answer as a percentage to 2 decimal places.

- There are m users who share a computer system. Each user alternates between "thinking" intervals whose durations are independent exponentially distributed with parameter Y, and an "active" mode that starts by submitting a service re- quest. The server can only serve one request at a time, and will serve a request completely before serving other requests. The service times of different requests are independent exponentially distributed random variables with parameter μ, and also independent of the thinking times of the users. Construct a Markov chain model and derive the steady-state distribution of the number of pending requests, including the one presently served, if any.arrow_forwardPhase 1C: Question Writing and Approval Based on either your own discussion post or ideas sparked from what others mentioned, select two questions you’d like to answer by analyzing data from Census at School. You will need to select one question from the qualitative category, and one question from the quantitative category. Remember the intent of these questions is to make comparisons and analyze data to eventually make inferences about and possibly draw conclusions about the larger population. You should make notes as you gather your data on what things might be missing, what factors might be contributing to this data, and what questions you still have.

- Suppose that a coin is tossed twice so that the sample space is S= {HH, HT, TH, TT}. Let X represent the number of heads that can come up. With each sample point we can associate a number for X as shown in Table. Thus, for example, in the case of HH (i.e., 2 heads), X =2 while for TH (1 head), X = 1. It follows that X is a random variable.arrow_forward-x² The normal distribution has p(x) = e 2 determine the CDF in terms Erf, mean and standard deviation.arrow_forwardFind the probability in tossing a fair coin four times, there will appear a) 3H and 1T b) 2T and 2H using binomial distribution and assume coin has p(H)=1/3.arrow_forward
