A six faced die is biased such that 3×P(a prime number)=6×P(a composite number)=2×P1. Let X be a random variable that counts the number of times one gets a perfect square on some throws of this die. If the die is thrown twice, then the mean of X is
  1. 311
  2. 511
  3. 711
  4. 811

Solution

Let Pa prime number2=Pa composite number1=P13=k

So, P(a prime number)=2k,

P (a composite number)=k,

and P1=3k

i.e. 6k+2k+3k=1

k=111

P(success)=P1 or 4=3k+k=411

Number of trials, n=2

 required mean=np=2×411=811
