- 3. Consider tossing a single die. Assume the die is loaded so that the probability that a given face lands up is proportional to the number of spots (X) showing (the PMF is given in the table). Develop a generator for the variable, generate three values of X, using R1-0.83, R2-0.24, and R3-0.57. 1 2 5 5/21 3 4 6 p(x) 1/21 2/21 3/21 4/21 6/21arrow_forward1. Let X be a random variable having pdf f(x) = 6x(1 – x) for 0 < I < 1 and 0 elsewhere. Compute the mean and variance of X. 2. Let X1, X2,..., X, be independent random variables having the same distribution as the variable from problem 1, and let X, = (X1+ ·.+Xn). Part a: Compute the mean and variance of X, (your answer will depend on n). Part b: If I didn't assume the variables were independent, would the calculation in part a still work? Or would at least part of it still work? 3. Suppose that X and Y are both independent variables, and that each has mean 2 and variance 3. Compute the mean and variance of XY (for the variance, you may want to start by computing E(X²Y²)). 4. Suppose that (X,Y) is a point which is equally likely to be any of {(0, 1), (3,0), (6, 1), (3, 2)} (meaning, for example, that P(X = 0 and Y = 1) = }). Part a: Show that E(XY) = E(X)E(Y). Part b: Are X and Y independent? Explain. 5. Let X be a random variable having a pdf given by S(2) = 2e-2" for 0arrow_forward2.

Let Y the number of classes the next student enrolls themselves in. The probability that y classes are selected is known to be proportional to y+1, in other words the pmf of Y is given by p(y) = k(y+1) for y 1,...,7, and 0 otherwise (a) What is the value of k? or seven classes (depending (b) What is the probability that at most four classes are enrolled in?

To go from A to B, Choi can take the bus with expected travel time A and standard deviation (std) σ, or the bike with expected travel time u and std T. He throws an unfair coin that lands with probability p on heads. When the outcome X is heads, he takes the bus, otherwise the bike. Let T be the expected traveling time. Use conditioning to show that E[T] = pλ + (1 - p)µ. Compute V[T[X]. Use Eve's law to compute V[T].arrow_forward(a) Let X be a random variable with finite variance.

Additionally, let A ~ U(-1,1) such that X and A are independent and consider Y = AX. You may use without proof that A? 1 X².
