We have two fair three-sided dice, indexed by i = 1, 2. Each die has sides labeled 1, 2, and 3. We roll the two dice independent

ly, one roll for each die. For i = 1, 2, let the random variable Xi represent the result of the i-th die, so that Xi is uniformly distributed over the set {1, 2, 3}. Define X = X2 − X1. 1. Calculate the numerical values of following probabilities:____________. (a) P(X = 0) = (b) P(X = 1) = (c) P(X = −2) = (d) P(X = 3) = Let Y = X2 . Calculate the following probabilities:_________.

Answer:

(a) P(X = 0) = 1/3

(b) P(X = 1) = 2/9

(c) P(X = −2) = 1/9

(d) P(X = 3) = 0

(a) P(Y = 0) = 0

(b) P(Y = 1) = 1/3

(c) P(Y = 2) = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Two 3-sided fair die.

- Random Variable X_1 denotes the number you get for rolling 1st die.

- Random Variable X_2 denotes the number you get for rolling 2nd die.

- Random Variable X = X_2 - X_1.

Solution:

- First we will develop a probability distribution of X such that it is defined by the difference of second and first roll of die.

- Possible outcomes of X : { - 2 , -1 , 0 ,1 , 2 }

- The corresponding probabilities for each outcome are:

                  ( X = -2 ):  { X_2 = 1 , X_1 = 3 }

                  P ( X = -2 ):  P ( X_2 = 1 ) * P ( X_1 = 3 )

                                 :  ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

                                 : ( 1 / 9 )

   

                  ( X = -1 ):  { X_2 = 1 , X_1 = 2 } + { X_2 = 2 , X_1 = 3 }

                 P ( X = -1 ):  P ( X_2 = 1 ) * P ( X_1 = 3 ) + P ( X_2 = 2 ) * P ( X_1 = 3)

                                 :  ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) + ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

                                 : ( 2 / 9 )

         

       ( X = 0 ):  { X_2 = 1 , X_1 = 1 } + { X_2 = 2 , X_1 = 2 } +  { X_2 = 3 , X_1 = 3 }

       P ( X = -1 ):P ( X_2 = 1 )*P ( X_1 = 1 )+P( X_2 = 2 )*P ( X_1 = 2)+P( X_2 = 3 )*P ( X_1 = 3)

                                 :  ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) + ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) + ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

                                 : ( 3 / 9 ) = ( 1 / 3 )

       

                    ( X = 1 ):  { X_2 = 2 , X_1 = 1 } + { X_2 = 3 , X_1 = 2 }

                 P ( X = 1 ):  P ( X_2 = 2 ) * P ( X_1 = 1 ) + P ( X_2 = 3 ) * P ( X_1 = 2)

                                 :  ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) + ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

                                 : ( 2 / 9 )

                    ( X = 2 ):  { X_2 = 1 , X_1 = 3 }

                  P ( X = 2 ):  P ( X_2 = 3 ) * P ( X_1 = 1 )

                                    :  ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

                                    : ( 1 / 9 )                  

- The distribution Y = X_2,

                          P(Y=0) = 0

                          P(Y=1) =  1/3

                          P(Y=2) = 1/ 3

- The probability for each number of 3 sided die is same = 1 / 3.
