Solution of Problems Chapters 1, 2 and 3

This document contains solutions to 9 exercises involving probability and statistics problems. Exercise 1 calculates the probability that at least two people will have the same birthday in a group of n people. Exercise 2 involves counting principles and permutations. Exercise 3 finds a conditional probability. Exercise 4 involves expected value and variance calculations for a random variable Y defined in terms of another random variable X. Exercise 5 calculates the expected value of a random variable with a given probability density function. Exercise 6 finds the expected value of the product of two random variables. Exercises 7-9 involve more complex calculations of expected value, variance, and probabilities.
