Dear student @saw

from your post I see that 

    - you don't know the basics of the probability theory

    - you didn't get the meaning of this problem / (of this assignment)

    - you were not able to distinct questions from answers

          (to help you to make this distinction, let me say, that there is NO ANSWERS in this post --- there are QUESTIONS only).

I am afraid that with such level of knowledge,  there is  NOTHING  TO  DO  for you at this forum as a tutor.


        Did I say  "I am afraid" ? ---  Ooo,  not,  sorry.   I am  179%  confident.


You may visit it as a student.

In this quality, you may find a lot of useful/necessary knowledge here.
