Q2

A dice is tossed twice and the number of dots facing up is counted and noted in order of occurrence. Let A be the event total number of dots is even, let B be the event both tosses had an even number of dots, and let C be the event both tosses had an odd number of dots. Find P[A|B], P[B|A] , P[A|C], P[B|C].

Two numbers x and y are selected at random between zero and one. Let the events A, B, and C be defined as follows. A = {x>0.5} B = {y>0.5} C = {x>y} Are A and B independent? Are A and C independent?

Q13

The waiting time W for accessing one record from a computer database is a random variable uniformly distributed between 0 and 10 milliseconds. The read time R (for moving the information from the disk to the main memory) is 3 milliseconds. The random variable X milliseconds is the total access time (waiting time + read time) to get one block of data from the disk. Before performing a certain task, the computer must access 12 blocks of data from the disk. Access times for different blocks are independent of each other. The total access time for all the blocks is A milliseconds. (a) Find E[X] and Var[X]. (b) Find E[A] and standard deviation of A.

Q17

You are a manager of a ticket agency that sells concert tickets. You assume that people will call three times in an attempt to buy tickets and then give up. You want to make sure that you are able to serve at least 95% of the people who want tickets. Let p be the probability that the caller gets connected to the agency. What is the minimum value of p necessary to meet your goal?
