In the following exercise, f is the probability density function for the random variable X defined on the given interval. Find the indicated probabilities.

$$f(x)=\frac{1}{9} x^2 ;[0,3]$$

$$P(1 \leq X \leq 2)$$

Calculate the quotients. (Rewrite the answers in proper form.) $\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{3}{8}}$

A balanced coin is tossed three times. Let x equal the number of heads observed. a. Use the formula for the binomial probability distribution to calculate the probabilities associated with x=0, 1, 2, and 3. b. Construct the probability distribution. c. Find the mean and standard deviation of x, using these formulas:

$$\begin{align*} \mu&=np \\ \sigma&=\sqrt{npq} \end{align*}$$

d. Using the probability distribution in part b, find the fraction of the population measurements lying within one standard deviation of the mean. Repeat for two standard deviations. How yo your results agree with Techbysheff's Theorem and the Empirical Rule?

Let X be a geometric random variable with parameter p , and n and m be nonnegative integers.

(a) For what values of n is P(X=n) maximum?

(b) What is the probability that X is even?

(c) Show that the geometric is the only distribution on the positive integers with the memoryless property:P(X> n + m | X > m) =P(X>n)
