Two numbers are selected at random (without replacement) from the first five positive integers. Let X denote the larger of the two numbers obtained. Find the mean and variance of X.
X can take values as 2, 3, 4,5 such that,
P (X =2) = probability that the larger of two number 2.
= prob. of getting 1 in first selection and 2 in second selection getting 2 in first selection and 1 in second selection.
x | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
P(X) |
Suppose a girl throws a die. If she gets 1 or 2 she tosses a coin three times and notes the number of tails. If she gets 3,4,5 or 6, she tosses a coin once and notes whether a ‘head’ or ‘tail’ is obtained. If she obtained exactly one ‘tail’, what is the probability that she threw 3,4,5 or 6 with the ride ?
Let A = { x ∈ Z: 0 ≤ x≤ 12} show that R = {(a,b):a,b ∈ A, |a-b|} is divisible by 4} is an equivalence relation. Find the set of all elements related to 1. Also, write the equivalence class [2].
Show that the function f: R → R defined by si neither one- one nor onto. Also, if g: R → R is defined as g(x) = 2x -1 find fog (x)
