Prove that the probability of two different even numbers is ) For one game, you have to spend 1. If you get two different even numbers, you win 1; if you get two identical numbers except 1 and 1, you earn 6; 1 and if you get the double one, you win 50; in all other cases, no gain. The random variable X gives the gain at the end of the game, regardless of the initial 1 bet. a. Give the probability distribution of X. b. Give the expected value of X. c. Can we expect to win money on playing this game a lot? Exercise 32. A bag contains 5 white and 10 black balls. You bet 2 for a 3 balls draw together. Get 3 white makes you earn 100; 2 white: 10; 1 white: 2; 3 black: nothing.

Exercise 33. A game consists of a random draw of a letter from the alphabet (which contains 20 consonants and 6 vowels A, E, I, O, U, Y). Each letter is assigned a number according to the following table: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z We'll set the events C: "the letter is a consonant" and M: "its number is at least 17". Part 1 1) Build a probabilistic choice tree (1st level: C and its contrary; 2nd level: M and its contrary) into which the simple, conditional and intersection probabilities will be placed. 2) Given that a vowel has been drawn, what s the probability its number is more than 16? 3) Given that its number is more than 16, what s the probability it s a vowel? 4) Are the events M and C independent? Part 2 The event C M, is awarded a 10 gain and the event C M would make you lose 5; as for the other possibilities: they don t lead to either gain or loss. X is the random variable gain after one draw. 1) Give the probability distribution of X. 2) Give the expected value of X and its meaning. 3) Give the standard deviation of X and its meaning.
