Question
  1. A, B and C are independent evens.  P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.3 and P(C) = 0.2.  Find P ( A ∪ B ∪ C c ).
  2. A bucket has three marbles.  Two are black and one is white.  You keep drawing until you get a while marble.  Every time you draw a black marble you put it back into the bucket and also add a new white marble to the bucket.  The random variable X denotes the total number of marbles you have drawn from the bucket.
    1. Find P(X = k) as a function of k.
    2. Compute E(X).  
  3.  Let X be a discrete random variable with p X ( k ) = c ( 1 3 ) k for k = 1,2,3,...
    1. Find the constant c
    2. find E(X)
  4. Randomly choose a number X from the density f X ( x ) = x 8 for 0 ≤ x < 4 (and zero otherwise).  If X < 2, toss a fair coin twice.  Otherwise toss the coin once.  Let N be the number of tails and let Y = X+N.  Find P ( X < 2 | Y > 2.5 ).
  5. For the probability density f ( x ) = c | x 2 − 4 |  for  − 4 ≤ x ≤ 2
    1. find c
    2. find P ( X 2 > 1 )
    3. find P ( X 2 > 1 | X < 0 )
  6. Consider a modified version of the board game RISK in which player A is attacking player B.  At the beginning of each turn, player A rolls N 4-sided dice where N+1 is the number of armies that player A has (So if A has 3 armies, A starts by rolling 2 4-sided dice).  Player B always rolls a single 6-sided die.  If the biggest roll among the dice that A rolls is bigger than player B's roll, then player B loses an army.  If all of player A's rolls are less than player B's roll, then player A loses an army.  If it is a tie, neither player loses an army.  The rolls are repeated until either B has no armies (A has captured the territory) or A has only one army (the attack has been repelled).
    1. If A has two armies and B has one army find the probability for each event: A loses an army, B loses an army and neither lose an army
    2. If A has three armies and B has one army find the find the probability for each event: A loses an army, B loses an army and neither lose an army
    3. If A has three armies and B has one army find the probability for each event: A loses an army, B loses an army and neither lose an army
    4. If A has two armies and B has two armies find the probability for each event: A loses an army, B loses an army and neither lose an army
    5. If A has three armies and B has two armies find the probability for each event: A loses an army, B loses an army and neither lose an army
    6. Finally: If A has three armies and B has two armies find the probability of the events: A captures the territory and B repels the attack.
