1. Sum of list of list - find sum of elements in cols and rows in all previous index. 2. if event X is getting 2 in a dice and if event Y is getting 3 in a dice, what is the covariance of X and Y if the dice is rolled 6 times. 3. If the head is thrown it is 1 and if the tail is thrown it is 2. After every throw, if you sum the values . What is the probability of getting 100 as sum at one point.
