HANDSHAKE!
Asako, Haruko, and Keiko each have a coin and are about
to flip it at the same time. What is the probability that
exactly two of the girls have heads?
The probability each girl has heads is 1/2. Since these
events are independent of each other, and there are 3
ways that exactly two of the girls have heads, the
probability required is 3/8.
Let Ω be the sample space from the experiment of rolling a pair of six-sided dice. Let X be the
random variable that gives the minimum of the numbers on the two faces. For instance, for
the outcome (3,5), we would have X(3,5) = 3, and for the outcome (2,4), we would have X
(2,4) = 2. How may outcomes in Ω are in the event [X = 2]?

5 cards are drawn from a pack of 52 cards. What is
Then I. Then there was one where I had to say how often the sum of 7 shows up, when I toss a pair of dice. I had to write down the event space, calculate the probability and
write down the PMF for that.
Furthermore there was one about drawing cards (this was one of the 10 point questions I believe). If you have a set of 52 cards and you draw 4 how likely is it that you a) draw
at least 2 of the same suite? b) all four are aces
Then there was a Markov questions. It asked for the UPPER AND THE LOWER BOUND!!!
Then in the small questions, there was one of those classic Var[X+Y] questions, where E[X] E[Y] are 0 and Var[X], Var[Y] is one. What is Var[X+Y]? (Maybe I mix up the
numbers here.) There was also one problem which asks for E[X] and Var[X] of a Poisson(3) distribution. Then there was one about the negative binomial distribution. Then
there was one where you had to compute the joint uniform distribution over a square. (I used this formula 1/(b-a)*(d-c). There was another question which was almost exactly
like the one in the picture seen below.

Hi. Did anyone of you already take the exam this month as a presence exam? I did and I'm kinda puzzled and angry
about what kind of questions I had. The 3 point questions were pretty OK. I was four times very confused, because
about stuff I've never seen before. ( And I did all examples in the script and the questions in the reader and the
practice exam ect. So basically everything we had) But that's ok the points were low and I didn' have luck. But more
important is that I had three 8-10 points question that were more than a surprise for me. For example I had to proof
that E[X]=np of the binomial distribution. there was a "Help formula" but WTH???? Or there was the a given Uniform
Joint Distribution with the Joint PDF of 1/16 for [0,4]x[0,4] and I should now calculate the following probabilities a) P
(X<Y) b) (1<=X<Y) c) P(1<=X<=2, X<Y) Hint: You can sketch it and don't need to integrate. And the third one was a
PMF Table of a Continuous joint Distribution for X1 and X2. with the task was a) P(Y=X1+X2) b) P(Z=X1+X2) (I think
that was an error in the exam because t's the same like a) ) and c) (P(Z,Y) (I'm not sure what was the third one) The
third one is pretty hard to explain, I can upload an picture later. I had absolutely no questions about conditional
probabilities, no famous "the population is sick and is blablabla tested" no simple E[X] and Var[X) at all. It felt like my
question were kinda random and very, very specific in some parts of the script. So, Yeah.... has anyone else had the
same experiences as I have?

I took the online exam and the experience was very similar to yours. The 3-point questions are similar to the questions
in the book and the exercises. However, many of the open questions are very time consuming (e.g. completing a table
where 8 out of 10 joint probabilities were missing and 2 conditional probabilities were given) and some questions were
just complicated. I have the impression that for some questions it doesn't matter how prepared you are, the questions
are simply difficult.
