Probability and Statistics assignment


for Software Engineering

1. Two players A and B alternately roll a pair of fair dice. A wins if he gets six points a
before B gets seven points and B wins if he gets seven points before A gets six
points. If A takes the first turn, find the probability that B wins and expected number
of trials for A to win.
2. A bag contains 2n counters, of which half are marked with odd numbers and half
with even numbers , the sum of all the numbers being S. A man is to draw two
counters. If the sum of the numbers drawn is odd, he is to receive that number of birr;
if even he is to pay that number of birr .Show that his expectation is * ( )+
3. An urn contains pN white and qN black balls , the total number of balls being
N,p+q=1. Balls are drawn one by one( without being returned to the urn) until a
certain number n of ball is reached…

Let Xi = {{

I. Show that E(Xi) =p , Var (Xi) pq


II. Show that the covariance between Xj and Xk is - j is different from k
III. From (I) and (II) obtain the variance of Sn =X1+X2+………..+Xn
4. Let X be the random variable with probability density function (pdf) given by:
f(x)= {
Then find the pdf of Y = 10X – 4
5. The joint density of two random variables X1 and X2 is given by;

( ) =
{

Consider the transformation = , = - . Find the joint density
