If you roll a die, you get one of the following numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Each possibility occurs with equal probability of 1/6. The expected value of a dice roll is E(D)= 3.5 and the variance of a dice roll is Var(X) = 2.917. a) Suppose you roll a die and then add 1 to the roll to get a new random variable taking one of the following numbers: 2,3,4,5,6,7.

#5. You can find 20 RANDOM NUMBERS in a Table or you can generate them with software like Excel. The Excel functions are “RAND” and “RANDBETWEEN”. With “Randbetween” you simply input how many numbers you want, the number of digits you want in your random number and the range of values you want those numbers to fall between. For example you may want twenty, 2-digit numbers that fall between 00 and 100 (like “34”). TWO CONSIDERATIONS: (1) You must systematically...

1.) Generate an array of 10 random numbers between 1 - 100 2.) Copy the array to a temp array 3.) Call each of the methods to sort (bubble, selection, insertion, quick, merge), passing it the array 4.) In-between the calls, you are going to refresh the array to the original numbers. 5.) Inside of each sorting method, you are going to obtain the nanoseconds time, before and after the method Subtract the before time from the after time to...

Write a script that will generate seven random integers in the range [-100:200] inclusive and then print the value of each integer and whether it is positive or negative and whether it is even or odd. An output from this program might be: -57 is negative and odd. 26 is positive and even. If zero is one of the random integers generated, remember that zero is even and neither negative or positive. Hint: even numbers are divisible by 2 with...

In C++ Write a simple program to generate random integers between X and Y and store them in a file, one number per line. The user should input the number of elements to generate and the boundary numbers X and Y (e.g. the inputs 100, 0, 999 mean your program should generate a list of 100 integers with values between 0 and 999, inclusive).

Use R and the RANDBETWEEN(1,300) function to generate: a) 100 random numbers, b) 100 samples of size 5, and c) 100 samples of size 20. For each sample in parts (b) and (c), find the sample means. Create histograms for parts (a), (b) and (c). For part (a) use the random numbers (i.e. sample size 1), for parts (b) and (c) use the sample means to create the histograms. Copy and Paste just the histograms into your homework paper. Explain...

(1) Use ‘sample’ function to generate a vector of 100 random numbers that follows a multinomial distribution with probability (0.1, 0.15, 0.3, 0.45). (2) Without using the ‘sample’ function, generate a vector of 100 random numbers that follows a multinomial distribution with probability (0.1, 0.15, 0.3, 0.45). (3) Calculate the probability for 2.5 < X < 9 in a Poisson distribution with the mean 6. （using R）

Write a complete program that will generate equally likely random shoe sizes in the inclusive range [5, 13.5], with whole or half sizes allowed. The number of values to generate will be input by the program user. It will also count and display the total number of times small (5, 5.5, 6, 6.5) and large (12, 12.5, 13, 13.5) sizes are generated. We have provided skeleton code for you to use. You must implement the helper method as given in...
