For any discrete random variable $$X,$$ with probability mass function $$P\left( {X = j} \right) = {p_j},$$
$${p_j}\,\, \ge 0,\,j \in \left\{ {0,..........,\,\,\,N} \right\},$$ and $$\,\,\sum\limits_{j = 0}^N {{p_j} = 1,\,\,} $$ define the polynomial function $${g_x}\left( z \right) = \sum\limits_{j = 0}^N {{p_j}{z^j}} .$$ For a certain discrete random variable $$Y$$, there exists a scalar $$\beta $$ $$ \in \left[ {0,1} \right]$$ such that $${g_y}\left( z \right) = {\left\{ {1 - \beta + \left. {\beta z} \right)} \right.^N}.$$ The expectation of $$Y$$ is

Suppose that a shop has an equal number of LED bulbs of two different types. The probability of an LED bulb lasting more than $$100$$ hours given that it is of Type $$1$$ is $$0.7,$$ and given that it is of Type $$2$$ is $$0.4.$$ The probability that an LED bulb chosen uniformly at random lasts more than $$100$$ hours is _________.

Consider the following experiment.
Step1: Flip a fair coin twice.
Step2: If the outcomes are (TAILS, HEADS) then output $$Y$$ and stop.
Step3: If the outcomes are either (HEADS, HEADS) or (HEADS, TAILS), then output $$N$$ and stop.
Step4: If the outcomes are (TAILS, TAILS), then go to Step 1.

The probability that the output of the experiment is $$Y$$ is (up to two decimal places) _____________.

Suppose $${X_i}$$ for $$i=1,2,3$$ are independent and identically distributed random variables whose probability mass functions are $$\,\,\Pr \left[ {{X_i} = 0} \right] = \Pr \left[ {{X_i} = 1} \right] = 1/2\,\,$$ for $$i=1,2,3.$$ Define another random variable $$\,\,Y = {X_1}{X_2} \oplus {X_3},\,\,$$ where $$ \oplus $$ denotes $$XOR.$$ Then $$\Pr \left[ {Y = 0\left| {{X_3} = 0} \right.} \right]$$ =________.
