Practical Week 6

1. A pair of fair dice is rolled. Let E denote the event that the sum of the dice is equal to 7.

(a) Show that E is independent of the event that the first die lands on 4.
(b) Show that E is independent of the event that the second die lands on 3.

2. There is a 60 percent chance that the event A will occur. If A does not occur, there is a 10 percent
chance that B will occur.What is the probability that at least one of the events A or B occur?

3. Two percent of woman of age 45 who participate in routine screening have breast cancer. Ninety
percent of those with breast cancer have positive mammographies. Ten percent of the women who
do not have breast cancer will also have positive mammographies. Given a woman has a positive
mammography, what is the probability she has breast cancer?

4. The distribution function of the random variable X is given

(a) Plot this distribution function.

(b) What is P {X > 12 }?
(c) What is P {2 < X  4}?

5. Suppose the random variable X has probability density function

(
cx3 0  x  1
f (x) =
0 otherwise

(a) Find the value of c.

(b) Find P {.4 < X < .8}.

6. The density function of X is given by

 7. If E[X] = 2 and E[X 2 ] = 8, calculate (a) E[(2 + 4X)2 ] and (b) E[X 2 + (X + 1)2 ].

8. Suppose that X is equally likely to take on any of the values 1, 2, 3, 4. Compute (a) E[X] and (b)
Var(X).
