Test III. Answer the following questions. (5pts each) Write your answers at the back of your paper.

A. Find the values of the following.

1. Four coins are tossed. Let Z be the random variable representing the number of heads that occur. Find the
values of the random variable Z.

B. Find the Probability Distribution and draw the histograph.

1. A family has three children. Let X be the number of boys. Construct a probability distribution for the random
variable X.

2. Suppose three cell phones are tested at random. Let D represent the defective cell phones and let N represent
the non-defective cell phones. If we let X be the random variable for the number of defective cell phones,
construct the probability distribution of the random variable X.

C. Compute the Mean of the Probability Distribution

1. The probabilities that a surgeon operates on 3,4,5,6 or 7 patients in any day are 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.20 and
0.20, respectively. Find the average number of patients that a surgeon operates on a day.

2. Find the mean of the probability distribution of the random variable X, which can take only the values 1,2
and 3, given that P(3)= 10 , P(5)= 1 , and P(7)= 12 . D. Get the Range:__________
