You play two games against the same opponent. The probability you win the first game is 0.4. If you win the first game, the prob

ability you also win the second one is 0.2. If you lose the first game, the probability that you win the second game is 0.3.

Answer:

a) No

b) 42%

c) 8%

d) X               0                 1                2

   P(X)           42%            50%         8%

e) 0.62

Step-by-step explanation:

a) No, the two games are not independent because the the probability you win the second game is dependent on the probability that you win or lose the second game.

b) P(lose first game) = 1 - P(win first game) = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

P(lose second game) = 1 - P(win second game) = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7

P(lose both games) = P(lose first game)  × P(lose second game) = 0.6 × 0.7 = 0.42 = 42%

c)   P(win first game)  = 0.4

P(win second game) = 0.2

P(win both games) = P(win first game)  × P(win second game) = 0.4 × 0.2 = 0.08 = 8%

d) X               0                 1                2

   P(X)           42%            50%         8%

P(X = 0)  =  P(lose both games) = P(lose first game)  × P(lose second game) = 0.6 × 0.7 = 0.42 = 42%

P(X = 1) = [ P(lose first game)  × P(win second game)] + [ P(win first game)  × P(lose second game)] = ( 0.6 × 0.3) + (0.4 × 0.8) = 0.18 + 0.32 = 0.5 = 50%

e) The expected value  \mu=\Sigma}xP(x)= (0*0.42)+(1*0.5)+(2*0.08)=0.66

f) Variance \sigma^2=\Sigma(x-\mu^2)p(x)= (0-0.66)^2*0.42+ (1-0.66)^2*0.5+ (2-0.66)^2*0.08=0.3844

Standard deviation \sigma=\sqrt{variance} = \sqrt{0.3844}=0.62
