A pair of dice is thrown 4 times. If getting a doublet is considered a success, find the probability distribution of the number of successes.
Solution:
Total number of outcomes = 36 The possible doublets are (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), and (6, 6). Let p be the probability of success, therefore, p = = So, q = 1 - p = 1 - = Since the dice is thrown 4 times, n=4 Let X denote the number of times of getting doublets in the experiment of throwing two dice simultaneously four times. Therefore X can take the values 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. P (X = 0) = = = P(X = 1) = = 4 = P(X = 2) = = 6 = P (X = 3) = = = Thus, the probability distribution is:
| X | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P (X) |
