An octahedral die has eight faces numbered from 1 to 8. The random variable X is the scoreobtained when the die is thrown. The bias of the die is such thatP(X = r) = c for r = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5P(X = r) = d for r = 6, 7, 8P(X < 6)="P(X" ≥="">(i) Compute the values of c and d.(ii) Estimate that E(X) = 5 and find the variance of X.(iii) The die is thrown twice. Calculate the probability that the sum of the two scores is 10.(iv) The random variable Y is the sum of the scores when the die is thrown 48 times.Measure the mean and variance of Y.(v) Assuming that Y has a normal distribution, write the probability that Y lies between 220and 260 inclusive.
