Get started for freeCast a die two independent times and let \(X\) equal the absolute value of the difference of the two resulting values (the numbers on the up sides). Find the pmf of \(X .\) Hint: It is not necessary to find a formula for the pmf.
Let \(X\) have the pdf \(f(x)=x^{2} / 9,0
Let \(X\) have the exponential pdf, \(f(x)=\beta^{-1} \exp \\{-x / \beta\\},

A pair of dice is cast until either the sum of seven or eight appears. (a) Show that the probability of a seven before an eight is \(6 / 11\). (b) Next, this pair of dice is cast until a seven appears twice or until each of a six and eight have appeared at least once. Show that the probability of the six and eight occurring before two sevens is \(0.546\).
