  1. Warm-up

    A Bernoulli random variable XX takes the value 11 with probability p=1/6p = 1/6 and the value 00 otherwise. Find Var⁡(X)\operatorname{Var}(X), giving your answer as a fraction.

  2. Warm-up

    A Bernoulli random variable XX takes the value 11 with probability p=3/4p = 3/4 and the value 00 otherwise. Find Var⁡(X)\operatorname{Var}(X), giving your answer as a fraction.

  3. Warm-up

    A Bernoulli random variable XX takes the value 11 with probability p=1/3p = 1/3 and the value 00 otherwise. Find Var⁡(X)\operatorname{Var}(X), giving your answer as a fraction.
