The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 267 days and a standard

deviation of 15 days. If 36 women are randomly selected, find the probability that they have

a mean pregnancy between 267 days and 269 days?

Dice. You have a drawer full of 4, 6, 8, 12 and 20-sided dice. You suspect that they are in proportion 1:2:10:2:1. Your friend picks one at random and rolls it twice getting 5 both times. (a) What is the probability your friend picked the 8-sided die? (b) (i) What is the probability the next roll will be a 5? (ii) What is the probability the next roll will be a 15?
Suppose I play a gambling game where I either win or lose k dollars. Suppose further that the chance of winning is p = .5. I employ the following strategy to try to guarantee that I win some money. I bet $1; if I lose, I double my bet to $2, if I lose I double my bet again. I continue until I win. Eventually I’m sure to win a bet and net $1 (run through the first few rounds and you’ll see why this is the net). If this really worked casinos would be out of business. Our goal in this problem is to understand the flaw in the strategy. (a) Let X be the amount of money bet on the last game (the one I win). X takes values 1, 2, 4, 8, . . . . Determine the probability mass function for X. That is, find p(2k), where k is in {0, 1, 2, . . . }. (b) Compute E(X). (c) Use your answer in part (b) to explain why the stategy is a bad one.
