A fair die with faces $$\left\{ {1,2,3,4,5,6} \right\}$$ is thrown repeatedly till $$'3'$$ is observed for the first time. Let $$X$$ denote the number of times the dice is thrown. The expected value of $$X$$ is _________.

Let $$\,\,X \in \left\{ {0,1} \right\}\,\,$$ and $$\,\,Y \in \left\{ {0,1} \right\}\,\,$$ be two independent binary random variables. If $$\,\,P\left( {X\,\, = 0} \right) = p\,\,$$ and $$\,\,P\left( {Y\,\, = 0} \right) = q\,\,$$, then $$P\left( {X + Y \ge 1} \right)$$ is equal to

The input $$X$$ to the Binary Symmetric Channel (BSC) shown in the figure is $$'1'$$ with probability $$0.8.$$ The cross-over probability is $$1/7$$. If the received bit $$Y=0,$$ the conditional probability that $$'1'$$ was transmitted is _______.

Let $$\,{X_1},\,\,{X_2}\,\,$$ and $$\,{X_3}\,$$ be independent and identically distributed random variables with the uniform distribution on $$\left[ {0,1} \right].$$ The probability $$p$$ {$${X_1}$$ is the largest} is __________.
