Answer:

E(X)=3.125

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that two four sided dice.

Then , the sample space

{(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4)}

Total number of outcomes=16

Let the random variable X represent the maximum value of the two dice

Outcomes                            X                                 P(X)

(1,1)                                          1                                 1/16

(1,2),(2,1),(2,2)                                   2                        3/16

(1,3),(2,3),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3)                    3                           5/16  

(1,4),(3,4) ,(2,4),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4)    4                            7/16

Using the probability formula

P(E)=\frac{Favorable\;outcomes}{Total\;number\;of\;outcomes}

Now,

E(X)=\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_iP(x_i)

E(x)=1(1/16)+2(3/16)+3(5/16)+4(7/16)

E(x)=\frac{1+6+15+28}{16}

E(x)=\frac{50}{16}=3.125

Phil had 2 quarters, 1 dime and 3 pennies = 63 cents
Paul had 2 nickles = 10 cents

Total 63 + 10 = 73 cents

If Paul had 1 cent more than Phil, then Paul would have 37 cents and Phil would have 36 cents
but Paul had 10 cents 
10 cents + 27 cents = 37 cents

so 
1 quarter and 2 pennies Phil gave to Paul, total 27 cents

Answer

Phi gave Paul 1 quarter and 2 pennies.
