A six faced die is biased such that 3×P3 \times P(a prime number)=6×P= 6 \times P(a composite number)=2×P(1)= 2 \times P\left(1\right). Let XX 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 XX is

Options

  1. A311\dfrac{3}{11}
  2. B511\dfrac{5}{11}
  3. C711\dfrac{7}{11}
  4. D811\dfrac{8}{11}

Correct answer

D. 811\dfrac{8}{11}

Step-by-step solution

Let P(a prime number)2=P(a composite number)1=P(1)3=k\dfrac{P\left(\text{a prime number}\right)}{2} = \dfrac{P\left(\text{a composite number}\right)}{1} = \dfrac{P\left(1\right)}{3} = k

So, PP(a prime number)=2k= 2k,

PP (a composite number)=k= k,

and P(1)=3kP\left(1\right) = 3k

i.e. 6k+2k+3k=16k + 2k + 3k = 1

⇒k=111⇒ k = \dfrac{1}{11}

P(success)=P(1or4)=3k+k=411P ( \text{success} ) = P\left(1\text{or}4\right) = 3k + k = \dfrac{4}{11}

Number of trials, n=2n = 2

∴∴ required mean=np=2×411=811= np = 2 \times \dfrac{4}{11} = \dfrac{8}{11}
