Weekly Assignment 1/Ss: Otherwise X Kxe X F

1. The document contains 5 problems about random variables and their probability distributions. Problem 1 involves determining the constant and mean and variance of an exponential distribution. Problem 2 finds the probability of drawing balls of the same color from two urns. Problem 3 evaluates constants and finds a probability for a piecewise uniform distribution. Problem 4 determines constants and finds probabilities for a discrete random variable. Problem 5 calculates the expected value, variance, and variance of a transformation of a uniform random variable.
