Suppose you break a stick of unit length at a point chosen uniformaly at random. Then the expected length of the shorter stick is __________________.

Suppose p is the number of cars per minute passing through a certain road junction between 5PM and 6PM and p has a poisson distribution with mean 3. What is the probability of observing fewer than 3 cars during any given minute in this interval?

Consider a random variable X that takes values + 1 and-1 with probability 0.5 each.
The values of the cumulative distribution function F(x) at x = - 1 and + 1 are

If the difference between the expectation of the square of a random variable $$\left( {E\left[ {{X^2}} \right]} \right)$$ and the square of the expectation of the random variable $${\left( {E\left[ X \right]} \right)^2}$$ is denoted by R then
