Practical - Week - 04.2

1. This document contains 8 practice problems about probability and statistics concepts such as conditional probability, expected value, variance, probability mass functions, and cumulative distribution functions. The problems involve calculating these measures for random variables with given probability distributions. 2. Problem 1 asks for the conditional probability of at least one tail occurring given that at least 2 heads occurred when a fair coin is tossed 4 times. Problem 2 involves finding a conditional probability for the outcome of two dice rolls. 3. The remaining problems involve calculating expected values, variances, probability mass functions, cumulative distribution functions, and other probability measures for described random variables.

1. A fair coin is tossed 4 times. Provided that at least 2 heads occurred within the 4 tossings, what’s
the probability that at least one tail also occurred?

2. Two fair dice are rolled simultaneously. Find the conditional probability of the event that ”both dice
got equal values” provided that the sum of values on the dice is less than or equal six.

3. Find the expected value and variance of the random variable X with given probability distribution

x -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
1 1 1 2 2 1
P (X = x) 14 7 7 7 7
0 14

4. Is it possible to have a random variable X with E[X] = 3 and E[X 2 ] = 7?

5. The joint probability of two random variabbles is given by the following table.
