(a)
A die with number $\displaystyle 1$ to $\displaystyle 6$ is biased such that $\displaystyle \mathrm{P}(2)=\frac{3}{10}$ and probability of other numbers is equal. Find the mean of the number of times number $\displaystyle 2$ appears on the dice, if the dice is thrown twice.
OR
(b)
Two dice are thrown. Defined are the following two events A and B: $\displaystyle \mathrm{A}=\{(x, \mathrm{y}): x+\mathrm{y}=9\}, \mathrm{B}=\{(x, \mathrm{y}): x \neq 3\}$, where $\displaystyle (x, \mathrm{y})$ denote a point in the sample space. Check if events A and B are independent or mutually exclusive.
Marking-scheme solution
\[\mathrm{P}(2)=\frac{3}{10}, \mathrm{P}(\text { any other number })=1-\frac{3}{10}=\frac{7}{10}
\]
Let X represent the Random Variable "the number of $\displaystyle 2$'s".
Then $\displaystyle \mathrm{X}=0,1,2$
