Extra Probability Problems
1. (a)
Let p denote the probability that a particular item A appears in a simple random sample (SRS). Suppose we collect 5 independent simple random samples, i.e., each SRS is obtained by drawing from the entire population. Let X denote the random variable for the total number of times that A appears in these 5 samples. What is the expected value of X, i.e., E[X]? Your answer should be in terms of p.
(b) What is V ar(X)? Again, your answer should be in terms of p.
2. Show that if two random variables X and Y are independent, then V ar(X − Y ) = Var(X)+Var(Y). You may not use the fact that Var(X +Y) = Var(X)+Var(Y) if X and Y are independent. Instead, use linearity of expectations and the definition of variance. Hint: If two random variables are independent, then their covariance is 0 and E[XY ] = E[X]E[Y ].
3. Consider rolling (independently) one fair six-sided die and one loaded six-sided die.
Let X1 and X2 denote, respectively, the number of spots from one roll of the fair die and one roll of the loaded die. Suppose the distribution for the loaded die is

Pr(X2 =5)=Pr(X2 =6) = 4.

Let Y = X1X2 denote the product of the two numbers of spots.
(a) What is the expected value of Y .
(b) What is the variance of Y .
(c) Estimate the sampling distribution of Y by simulating 10,000 rolls of the pair of dice. Provide a graphical display of the distribution. Compare the mean and variance from this estimate to the values you computed above.
Pr(X2 =1)=Pr(X2 =2) =
Pr(X2 =3)=Pr(X2 =4) =
