1.    Two fair cubes are rolled. The random variable X represents the difference between the values of the two cubes.

a)    Find the mean of this probability distribution. (i.e. Find E[X])

b)    Find the variance and standard deviation of this probability distribution.

(i.e. Find V[X] and SD[X])

The random variables A and B are defined as follows:

A = X-10 and B = [(1/2) X]-5

c) Show that E[A] and E[B].

d) Find V[A] and V[B].

e) Arnold and Brian play a game using two fair cubes. The cubes are rolled, and Arnold records his score using the random variable A and Brian uses the random variable B. They repeat this for a large number of times and compare their scores. Comment on any likely differences or similarities of their scores.

Downtime costs (lost hours due to inoperable or inaccessible computer, internet connection, viruses, etc.)

When convering amount of time to money, consider average hourly gross wage 200 CZK (around 7 EUR).
