The objective of a game is to throw as many 6’es as possible
with three dice in two tries. The rules of the game are as
follows:
Three fair dice are thrown once initially. If any 6’es turn up, the
die or dice showing 6 are set aside. The remaining die or dice are
thrown one more time. The total number of 6’es from the two throws
is then noted.
Let ? be the random variable representing the number of 6’es after
the two throws. Calculate the probability mass function of ?.
Hence, calculate the expected value and variance of ?.
