Question 1: How can two cubical (six sided) dice be labeled using numbers {0,1,2,3,4,5,6} so that when the two dice are thrown, the sum has a uniform probability distribution over the integers ( 1,2...12}.The same number can repeat more than once on a face of either die, but each face will come up with the same probability 1/6 when the die is rolled.
Question 2: A test for a disease is 90% reliable, i.e. in 90% of cases of people who have the disease, a positive test result is returned and in 90% of the people who do not have the disease, a negative result is obtained. Suppose that 1% of people are known to have the disease. If a person X takes the test and gets a positive result for the test, what is the probability that X actually has the disease?
Question 3: Alice and Bill flip a fair coin until one of the respective patterns A = HHT or B = HTT appears for the first time (and then the corresponding player wins).
Here is a state diagram that indicates how Alice (or Bill) would proceed to a win: the transitions indicate flips of a fair coin (H/T).
Use the state diagram to calculate by hand, the exact probability that Alice wins within 5 or fewer coin flips and via a programmed function that takes n 3 as argument and returns the ratio of the probability that Alice wins in exactly n flips to the probability that Bill wins in exactly n flips.
Question 4: Redo problem 3 but this time choose winning patterns A = THH and B = HHT. You will need to draw a state diagram based on these patterns before answering parts (a) and (b) as above.
