Exercises: Develop a Theoretical Probability Distribution and Find Its Expected Value

Work through each section in order. Show your work where indicated. When you build a probability, separate "the probability of one specific sequence" from "the number of arrangements" that produce that result. Keep fractions over a common denominator so your sum-to-1 check is easy to read.

For the five-question guessing test, compute P(X=2)=(52)(14)2(34)3P(X = 2) = \binom{5}{2}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^2\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^3.
Write your answer as a fraction over a denominator of 10241024.
