2. Obtain probability distribution of number of tosses to get the first head.

3. Obtain probability distribution of number of tails obtained before the first head.

4. A random sample of four policyholders is taken from a group of eight, comprising three men
and five women. Find the probability distribution of X, the number of female policy holders in the
sample. Hence, find out the mean and variance of X. Also obtain F(2).

5. A die is so biased that the probability of getting an even number is twice that of getting an odd
number. The die is rolled once. You will get Rs. 1000 if an even number appears and you have to
pay Rs 500 otherwise. Find your expected gain and variance of gain.
