Generic random variable Generic Random Variable I roll a die
Generic random variable
Generic Random Variable: I roll a die until I get the number six, or until I have rolled 5 times, whichever comes first. Let X be the number of rolls. Is X discrete or continuous? What is f(x); Find E(X); Find V(X) using the definition; Find the probability that X is within 2 standard deviations of the mean and compare with the Chebychev lower bound.Solution
a) the x is an discrete random variable, because the variable is a function of a set of real numbers
b) F(x): x/6, where the values of x= 1,2,3,4,5,6
I guess the probability of rolling the dice is 1/6 for all that this is the chance to come out frequency any number.
I hope I have solved your questions or helped get a better idea of how to raise the problem, remember that they are only 4 questions that are answered can send the other as another problem
| x | F(x) | x*F(x) | x^2*F(x) |
| 1 | 0.17 | 0.17 | 0.17 |
| 2 | 0.17 | 0.33 | 0.67 |
| 3 | 0.17 | 0.50 | 1.50 |
| 4 | 0.17 | 0.67 | 2.67 |
| 5 | 0.17 | 0.83 | 4.17 |
| 6 | 0.17 | 1.00 | 6.00 |
| sum | 3.50 | 15.17 | |
| E(x) | V(x) |
