I toss a fair coin twice, and let X be defined as the number of heads I observe.
Find the range of X, RX, as well as its probability mass function PX.
Let X denote the reaction time, in seconds, to a certain stimulus and Y denote the temperature (◦F) at which a certain reaction starts to take place. Suppose that two random variables X and Y have the joint density
The number of trams X arriving at the St. Peter's Square tram stop every t minutes has the following probability mass function: p(x) =(0.25t)^x/x! * exp(-0.25t) for x=0,1,2,... the probability that 3 to 5 trams arrive in a 6 minute period is
