Solve the following:

(a)A sample of 3 items is chosen at random from a box containing 20 items of which 4 are
defective. Let X be the number of defective items in the sample. Find E(X), Var (X), and Var (20 − X).

(b) Given n tosses of a fair coin, let X be the number of heads tossed. Find the pmf of X

(c) Show that Var (X) ≥ 0 for any discrete r.v. X. Also, explain why X is constant if and only if
Var (X) = 0. Hint: write Var (X) = E (X − µ)2 = Px (x − µ)^2pX (x), where µ = E (X)

I toss 3 fair coins, and then re-toss all the ones that come up tails. Let X denote the number of coins that come up heads on the first toss, and let Y denote the number of re-tossed coins that come up heads on the second toss. (Hence 0 ≤ X ≤ 3 and 0 ≤ Y ≤ 3 − X.) (a) Determine the joint pmf of X and Y , and use it to calculate E(X + Y )....
