A random experiment was conducted where Person A tossed four coins and recorded the number of “heads”. Person B rolled two dice and recorded the smaller number out of the two dice. Answer the questions (either by direct computation or using simulations; use 10000 long columns).

I) Which of the two persons (A or B) is more likely to get the number “3”? (6.66 points)

  • a. Person A
  • b. Person B
  • c. Both persons have very similar probability of obtaining “3”
  • d. Not possible to determine

II). What is the probability that person B obtains number “5” or “6”? (6.66 points)

  • a. About 5%
  • b. About 11%
  • c. About 28%
  • d. About 35%

III) Which of these events are the most probable? (6.66 points)

  • a. Person A gets “3” and Person B gets “6”
  • b. Person A gets “2” and Person B gets “5”
  • c. Person A gets “3” and Person B gets “5”

Let X denote the number of heads than occur when four coins are tossed at random. Under the assumptions that the four coins are independent and the probability of heads on each coin is 1/2,X is B(4,1/2). One hundred repetitions of this experiment results in 0,1,2,3, and 4 heads being observed on 7,18,40,31, and 4 trials, respectively. Do these results support the assumption that the distribution of X is B(4,1/2)?

Using the previous tutorial, address the following: Imagine an experiment where three dice are tossed and the numbers on each die is recorded under Die1, Die2 and Die3. Answer the following questions about the sum of the three numbers recorded from: Die1+Die2+Die3. (Discussions allowed) Hint: Simulate this experiment 1000 times. (use the same procedure as in the above tutorial, but for the Number of Variables, instead of 1 put 3; since we are rolling 3 dice not one). Next, create...

If 5 coins are tossed, what is the probability of getting 5 Tails? Select one: a. 1/32 b. 1/10 c. 1/16 d. 1/8 A flashlight has 6 batteries, two of which are defective. If two batteries are selected at random without replacement, find the probability that both are defective. Select one: a. (4/6)*(3/5) = 12/30 = 0.40 b. (1/6)*(1/6) = 1/36 = 0.028 c. (2/6)*(2/6) = 4/36 = 0.111 d. (2/6)*(1/5) = 2/30 = 0.067
