Sophie and Ella play a game. They each have five ca
42qj/ 5 tii8/pr lbsdyrds showing roman numerals I, V, X, L, C. Sophie lays her cards face up on the table in order I, V, X, L, C as shown in the follow
ipy2j8bqls /r/id5t4ing diagram.
Ella shuffles her cards and lays them face down on the table. She then turns them over one by one to see if her card matches with Sophie's 4 card directly above. Sophie wins if no matches occur; otherwise Ella wins.
1. Show that the probability that Sophie wins the game is $\frac{11}{30}$ .
Sophie and Ella repeat their game so that they play a total of 90 times. Let the discrete random variable X represent the number of times Sophie wins.
2. Determine:
1. the mean of X ;
2. the variance of X .
