A hint to get started
Combine a disc and a weighted die
An unbiased disc has a single dot marked on one side and two dots marked on the other side. A tetrahedral die has faces marked with score of 1, 2, 3, and 4. The probability of getting a score of 1, 2, 3, and 4 is and respectively, where .
A game is played by throwing the disc and the die together. The random variable is the sum of the score showing on the die and twice the number of dots showing on the disc.
(i) Find .
Given that ,
(ii) calculate the values of p and q, and
(iii) find the probability distribution of S.
