A pair of fair dice is rolled once. Find the probability mass function to get the number of fours.
1.
(i) Differentiating F(x) with respect to x at continuity points of f(x), we get
\(f(x)={ F }^{ 1 }(x)=\begin{cases} \begin{matrix} 0 & x<0 \end{matrix} \\ \begin{matrix} 1 & 0\le x<1 \end{matrix} \\ \begin{matrix} 0 & x\ge 1 \end{matrix} \end{cases}\)
The pdf f(x) is not continuous at x = 0, or at x = 1. We can define f(0) and f(1) in any manner. Choosing f(0) = 1, and f(1) = 0 .
Therefore the probability density function f(x) is
\(f(x)=\begin{cases} \begin{matrix} 1 & 0\le x<1 \end{matrix} \\ \begin{matrix} 0 & otherwise \end{matrix} \end{cases}\)
(ii) P(0.2 ≤ X ≤ 0.7) = F(0.7) − F(0.2)
= 0.7-0.2 = 0.5
\(P(0.2\le X\le 0.7)=\int _{ 0.2 }^{ 0.7 }{ f(x) } dx=\int _{ 0.2 }^{ 0.7 }{ 1dx } =0.5\)
2.
The possible events of selection are
(i) both balls may be black, or
(ii) one white and one black or
(iii) both are white.
Therefore X is a random variable that take the values,
X (both are black balls) = Rs. 2(30) = Rs. 60
X (one black and one white ball) = Rs. 30 − Rs. 20 = Rs. 10
X (both are white balls) = Rs. 2( − 20) = - Rs. 40
Therefore X takes on the values 60,10, and − 40.
3.
\(S=\left\{\begin{array}{l} (1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6) \\ (2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6) \\ (3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6) \\ (4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6) \\ (5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6) \\ (6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6) \end{array}\right\}\)
(i) The sample space
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}\(\times\){1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
consists of 36 ordered pairs (α, β) where α and β can take any integer value between 1 and 6 as shown. X is assigned to each point (α, β) the sum of the numbers on the dice .
That is X (α, β) = α + β
Therefore
X (1,1) = 1+1 = 2
X (1, 2) = X (2,1) = 3
X (1,3) = X (2,2) = X (3,1)= 4
X (1, 4) = X (2,3) = X (3, 2) X (4,1) = 5
X (1,5) = X (2,4) = X (3,3) = X (4, 2) = X (5,1) = 6
X (1,6) = X (2,5) = X (3, 4) = X (4,3 = X (5, 2) X (6,1) = 7
X (2,6) = X (3,5) = X (4,4) = X (5,3) = X (6,2) = 8
X (3,6) = X (4,5) = X (5,4) X (6,3) = 9
X (4,6) = X (5,5) X (6,4) = 10
X (5,6) = (6,5) = 11
X (6,6) = 12
(ii) Then the random variable X takes on the values 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
(iii) The inverse images of 10 is {(4, 6), (5, 5), (6, 4)}.
(iv) The number of inverse images are given below
| Values of the random variable | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | Total |
| Number of elements in inverse image | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 36 |

| 4 | 6 | 7 | 7 | 8 | 8 | 8 |
n (S) = 36
X = {4,5,6,7,8}
From the sample space
| Values of random variable | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | Total |
| No of points in inverse image | 1 | 4 | 10 | 12 | 9 | 36 |
5.
Let X be the random variable denotes the Winning amount.
X (Both are black balls) = Rs. 2 (-10) = Rs. -20
X (one red and oneblack ball) = Rs.15-Rs. 10 = Rs. 5
X (both are red ball) = Rs. 2 (15) = Rs. 30
= {-20, 5, 30}
The sample space consists of 14C2 = 91
X = -20, Both are black balls= 8C1 = 28
X = 5, One black, one redball = 8C1 x 6C1 = 8 x 6 = 48
X = 30, Both are white balls = 6C1 = 15
| Values of random variable | 30 | 5 | -20 | Total |
| Number of points in inverse image | 15 | 48 | 28 | 91 |
6.
Let X be the random variable of number of tails when three coins tossed.
S = {HHH, HHT, THH, HTH, HTT, THT, TTH,TTT}
n(S) = 8
Let X denote the number of tarits occured.
X-1 (0) {HHH} = 1
X-1 (1) = {HHT, THT, HTH} = 3
X-1 (2) =, {HTT, THT, TTH} = 3
X-1 (3) = {TTT} = 1
ஃ X takes the values 0, 1, 2, 3.
| Values of random variable X | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | Tortal |
| Number of elements in reverse images | 1 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 8 |
7.
Let X denote the winning amount. The possible events of selection are
(i) both balls are black, or
(ii) one white and one black or
(iii) both are white
Therefore X is a random variable that can be defined as
X (both are black balls) = Rs. 2(20) = Rs. 40
X (one black and one white ball) = Rs. 20 − Rs. 10 = Rs. 10
X (both are white balls) = (Rs. 20) = - Rs. 20
Therefore X takes on the values 40,10 and −20
Total number of balls n = 12
Total number of ways of selecting 2 balls = \(\left( \begin{matrix} 12 \\ 2 \end{matrix} \right) =\frac { 12\times 11 }{ 1\times 2 } =66\)
Number of ways of selecting 2 black balls = \(\left( \begin{matrix} 4 \\ 2 \end{matrix} \right) =6\)
Number of ways of selecting one black ball and one white ball = \(\left( \begin{matrix} 8 \\ 1 \end{matrix} \right) \left( \begin{matrix} 4 \\ 1 \end{matrix} \right) =32\)
Number of ways of selecting 2 white balls = \(\left( \begin{matrix} 8 \\ 2 \end{matrix} \right) =28\)
| Values of Random Variable X | 40 | 10 | -20 | Total |
| Number of elements in inverse images | 6 | 32 | 28 | 66 |
Probability mass function is
| X | 40 | 10 | -20 | Total |
| f (x) | \(\cfrac { 6 }{ 66 } \) | \(\cfrac { 32 }{ 66 } \) | \(\cfrac { 28 }{ 66 } \) | 1 |
Mean :
\(E(X)\Sigma xf(x)=40.\left( \frac { 6 }{ 66 } \right) +10.\left( \frac { 32 }{ 66 } \right) +\left( -20 \right) .\left( \frac { 28 }{ 66 } \right) =\frac { 4000 }{ 11 } \)
That is expected winning amount is 0
Variance :
\(\Sigma x^{ 2 }=\Sigma { x }^{ 2 }f(x)=40^{ 2 }.\left( \frac { 6 }{ 66 } \right) +10^{ 2 }.\left( \frac { 32 }{ 66 } \right) +\left( -20 \right) ^{ 2 }.\left( \frac { 28 }{ 66 } \right) =\frac { 4000 }{ 11 } \)
(E(X )2 = 02 = 0
This gives \(V(X)=E({ X }^{ 2 })-\left( E(X))^{ 2 } \right) =\frac { 4000 }{ 11 } -0=\frac { 4000 }{ 11 } \)
Therefore E(X ) = 0 and \(V(x)=\frac { 4000 }{ 11 } \)
8.
Since the given function is a probability density function
\(\int _{ -\infty }^{ \infty }{ f(x) } dx=1\)
That is \(\int _{ -\infty }^{ 1 }{ f(x) } dx+\int _{ 1 }^{ 4 }{ f(x) } dx+\int _{ 4 }^{ \infty }{ f(x) } dx=1\)
From the given information
\(\int _{ -\infty }^{ 1 }{ 0dx } +\int _{ 1 }^{ 4 }{ { Cx }^{ 2 }dx } +\int _{ 4 }^{ \infty }{ 0dx } =1\)
\(0+C\left[ \cfrac { { x }^{ 3 } }{ 3 } \right] _{ 1 }^{ 4 }+0=1\Rightarrow C\left[ \cfrac { 64-1 }{ 3 } \right] =1\Rightarrow 21C\Rightarrow C=\cfrac { 1 }{ 21 } \)
Therefore the probability density function is
\(f(x)= \begin{cases}C x^{2} & 1
Since f (x) is continuous, the probability that X is equal to any particular value is zero. Therefore when the random variable is continuous, either or both of the signs < by ≤ and > by ≥ can be interchanged. Thus
(i) P(1.5 < X < 3.5) = P(1.5 ≤ X< 3.5)= P(1.5 < X ≤3.5) = P(1.5 ≤X ≤ 3.5)
Therefore
\(P(1.5
= \(\cfrac { 1 }{ 21 } \left( \cfrac { { x }^{ 3 } }{ 3 } \right) =\cfrac { 1 }{ 21 } \left( \cfrac { \left( 3.5 \right) ^{ 3 }-\left( 1.5 \right) ^{ 3 } }{ 3 } \right) \)
= \(\cfrac { 79 }{ 126 } \)
(ii) \(P(X\le 2)=\int _{ -\infty }^{ 2 }{ f(x) } dx=\int _{ -\infty }^{ 1 }{ f(x)dx } +\int _{ 1 }^{ 2 }{ f(x)dx } \)
Therefore
\(P(X\le 2)=0+\cfrac { 1 }{ 21 } \int _{ 1 }^{ 2 }{ { x }^{ 2 }dx=\cfrac { 1 }{ 21 } \left( \cfrac { { x }^{ 3 } }{ 3 } \right) } ^{ 2 }_{ 1 }\)
= \(\cfrac { 1 }{ 21 } \left( \cfrac { { 2 }^{ 3 }-{ 1 }^{ 3 } }{ 3 } \right) =\cfrac { 7 }{ 63 } \)
(iii) \(P(3
= \(\cfrac { 1 }{ 21 } \int _{ 3 }^{ 4 }{ { x }^{ 2 }dx+0=\cfrac { 1 }{ 21 } \left( \cfrac { { x }^{ 3 } }{ 3 } \right) } _{ 3 }^{ 4 }\)
= \(\cfrac { 1 }{ 21 } \left( \cfrac { { 4 }^{ 3 }-{ 3 }^{ 3 } }{ 3 } \right) =\cfrac { 37 }{ 63 } \)
9.
Given

The random variable X take the values -1, 0, 1, 2, 3
For a discrete random variable X, we have
f(x) = p(X = x)
∴ f(-1) = p(X= -1) = F(-1) -F(0)
= 0.15-0 = 0.15
f(0) = p(X = 0) = F(0)-F(-1)
= 0.35-0.15 = 0.20
f(1) = p(X = 1) = F(1)-F(0)
= 0.60-0.35 = 0.25
f(2) = p(X=2) = F(2)-F(1)
= 0.85-0.60 = 0.25
f(3) = p(X = 3) = F = (3)-F(2)
= 1-0.85 = 0.15
(i) ஃThe probability mass function is
| x | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| f(x) | 0.15 | 0.20 | 0.25 | 0.25 | 0.15 |
(ii) p(X<1)
= p(X = -1) + p(X = 0)
= 0.15 + 0.20 = 0.35
(iii) p(X ≥ 2)
= p(X = 2) + p(X = 3)
= 0.25 + 0.15
= 0.40

\(S=\left|\begin{array}{l} (1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6) \\ (2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6) \\ (3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6) \\ (4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6) \\ (5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6) \\ (6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6) \end{array}\right|\)
Let X be a random variable whose values x are the number of fours.
The sample space S is given in the table.
It can also be written as
S = {(i, j)} , where i = 1, 2, 3, 6 and j = 1, 2, 3, 6
Therefore X takes on the values of 0, 1 and 2.
We observe that
(i) X = 0, if (i, j) for i ≠ 4, j≠ 4,
(ii) X = 1, if (1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4), (5, 4), (6, 4), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 5), (4, 6)
(iii) X = 2, if (4, 4) ,
Therefore,
| Values of the Random Variable X | 0 | 1 | 2 | Toatal |
| Number of elements in inverse images | 25 | 10 | 1 | 36 |
The probabilities are
\(f(0)=P(X=0)\cfrac { 25 }{ 36 } \)
\(f(1)=P(X=1)=\cfrac { 10 }{ 36 } \)
and \(f(20=P(X=2)=\cfrac { 1 }{ 36 } \)
Clearly the function f(x) satisfies the conditions
(i) f (x) ≥ 0, for x = 0, 1, 2 and
(ii) \(\underset { x }{ \Sigma } f(x)=\sum _{ x=0 }^{ x=-2 }{ f(x) } =f(0)+f(1)+f(2)=1\)
\(=\frac{25}{36}+\frac{10}{36}+\frac{1}{36}=1\)
The probability mass function is presented as
| x | 0 | 1 | 2 |
| f(x) | \(\frac { 25 }{ 36 } \) | \(\frac { 10 }{ 36 } \) | \(\frac { 1 }{ 36 } \) |
(or)
\(f(x)=\begin{cases} \begin{matrix} \frac { 25 }{ 36 } & for \ x=0 \end{matrix} \\ \begin{matrix} \frac { 10 }{ 36 } & for \ x=1 \end{matrix} \\ \begin{matrix} \frac { 1 }{ 36 } & for \ x=2 \end{matrix} \end{cases}\)
