Question

I have this nifty (and fair) three-sided die. The possible outcomes are S = {1,2,3}. Its probability mass function (pmf) is fx(x):={1/3 1/3 1/3 x=1 x=2 x=3 Fill out the distribution table: What is the expected value of the die? What is the variance? What is the probability that a 1 is rolled? What is the probability that a 1 or a 2 is rolled? I roll the die twice, what is the probability that a 1 comes up on both rolls? I roll the die twice, what is the probability that a 1 comes up on cither roll? I roll the die twice, what is the probability that I roll a sum of 6? Given that I rolled a 1 on the first roll, what is the probability that I roll a 1 on the second roll? Are the events "Rolling a 1 on the first roll" and "Rolling two dice that sum to 5" mutually exclusive-?

Explanation / Answer

1.

As given,

2.

Consider:

Thus,  
  
E(x) = Expected value = mean = Sum(xP(x)) =    2 [ANSWER]

****************

3.

Var(x) = E(x^2) - E(x)^2 =    0.666666667 [ANSWER]

*********************

4.

As given,

P(1) = 1/3 [ANSWER]
