A fair coin is tossed 3 times. Find the probability of two head and the probability of

both head and tail.

Q2:

A telephone call occurs at random between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. What is the

probability that the call occurs between 9:30 a.m. and 10:45 a.m.?
Q3: In the tossing of a fair die, what will be the probability that 3 has occurred conditioned
on the toss being odd?
Q4:

Four computer companies A, B, C, D supply microprocessors to a company. From

previous experience it is known that the probability of the processor being bad if it comes
from A is 4%, B is 2%, C is 5%, and D is 1%. The probabilities of picking supplier A is
20%, B is 30%, C is 10%, and D are 40%. What is the probability that a processor chosen at
random is bad.
Q5:

Continued from Q4, find the probability that the processor came from companies A,

B, C, or D given that the processor is bad.

Q6: A fair dice is rolled 10 times, what is the probability that 1 showed up exactly 4 times?

Q7: For a random variable, X uniformly distributed between (a, a). Find X and X
.

Q8:

Show that the random process X(t) = A sin(t + ) is stationary where A, are

constants and is a random variable.

Q9: The quarterback for a certain football team has a good game with probability 0.6 and a
bad game with probability 0.4. When he has a good game, he throws at least one interception
with a probability of 0.2; and when he has a bad game, he throws at least one interception
with a probability of 0.5. Given that he threw at least one interception in a particular game,
what is the probability that he had a good game?
Q10:

Two coins are tossed. Let A denote the event t most one head on the two tosses,

and let B denote the event one head and one tail in both tosses. Are A and B independent
events?
Q11:

Let the random variable X denote the sum obtained in rolling a pair of fair dice.

Determine the pmf of X.

Q12: Find the pmf of a discrete random variable X whose CDF is given by

Q13: Assume that X is continuous random variable with following pdf

A(2x x2 ) 0 < x < 2

fX (x) =
0
otherwise
(a) What is the value of A?
(b) Find P {X > 1}.

Q14: Find the variance of the discrete random variable X with the following pmf :

pX (x) = 3
2 x = 2
