Let a random variable $X$ take values $\{0, 1, 2, 3\}$ with $P(X=0) = P(X=1) = p$,$P(X=2) = P(X=3) = q$,and $E(X^2) = 2E(X)$. Then the value of $8p - 1$ is:

$A$ person plays a game of tossing a coin thrice. For each head,he is given $Rs. 2$ by the organiser of the game and for each tail,he has to give $Rs. 1.50$ to the organiser. Let $X$ denote the amount gained or lost by the person. Show that $X$ is a random variable and exhibit it as a function on the sample space of the experiment.

For the probability distribution given by

$x = x_{i}$	$0$	$1$	$2$
$P_{i}$	$\frac{25}{36}$	$\frac{5}{18}$	$\frac{1}{36}$

the standard deviation $(\sigma)$ is

The cumulative distribution function (c.d.f.) $F(x)$ of a discrete random variable $X$ is given by the following table:

$X$	$-3$	$-1$	$0$	$1$	$3$	$5$	$7$	$9$
$F(X)$	$0.1$	$0.3$	$0.5$	$0.65$	$0.75$	$0.85$	$0.90$	$1$

Then,find $P[X=3]$.

If a fair coin is tossed $5$ times,the probability that heads does not occur two or more times in a row is

$A$ random variable $X$ takes the values $1, 2, 3$ and $4$ such that $2 P(X=1) = 3 P(X=2) = P(X=3) = 5 P(X=4)$. If $\sigma^2$ is the variance and $\mu$ is the mean of $X$,then $\sigma^2 + \mu^2 =$
