yoyoyo! i have a midterm tomorrow and i have some problems that i don't have the solutions to!

if you're bored, you can check my work, or if you just love probabilities that much, you can try to do them yourself without checking the solns! :}

[all my XC0 will be for clarity :d]



P9. 10 rooms in a ring. Each of the 3 Little Pigs checks into a different room. Let X = # of adjacent pairs. Find P(X>=1).
+ Show Spoiler [My Solution] +


P10. Draw 10 cards from standard deck. Find:
a) P(getting exactly 1 suit)
b) P(getting exactly 2 suits)
+ Show Spoiler [My Solution] +


P14. Return 4 hats randomly back to 4 people (n=4). Let X=# matches. Find:
a. P(X=4)
b. P(X=3)
c. P(X>=1)
d. P(X=-)
+ Show Spoiler [My Solution] +


will add more as i continue doing practice problems...^^

I thought it was going to be along the lines of "what's the probability of me banging her at the back of the club next time i see her"

Here's a better probability question:

You have a regular fair die and you are allowed three rolls, and you can stop whenever you want. I will give you X dollars at the end where X is the face value of the die. Find the EV.

its probably around seventy

I assume the problem implies that a person will always make the statistically favorable choice, e.g. stop when the expected value of the remaining rolls is lower than or equal to their current roll.

For those that are interested, this was given to me during a Google interview. I gave the "correct" answer, which, later, after discussing with friends, I realized was actually probably incorrect (I haven't gotten around to work it out yet).

I said exactly what you said...
+ Show Spoiler +


Okay, I just tried to work it out with what I said in the spoiler, and I just cannot put it to work as I got really confused with forward and backward EV. (but in my defense, it's 3:30 AM), let me know if you figure it out, or if it doesn't make sense at all.
