I need help in two probability problems using R program. Thanks so much! 1. Simulation of an expectation. Design a simulation exercise in R to approximate the value of E ( X^X) when X has a U [0,1] distribution. Plot the value of the approximation as the sample size goes from 1 to 10,000. Use the Notebook feature in RStudio
12. Which of the following numbers could be the probability of an event? 1.5 , 1/2 , 3/4 , 2/3 , 0 , -1/4 34. For some diseases, such as sickle-cell anemia, an individual will get the disease only if he or she receives both recessive alleles. This is not always the case. For example, huntington's disease only requires on
