R programming = adding random variable

Member 13514422 asked:

Open original thread
I'm pretty new to R programming and having a minor problem. Here is the first part of the question which I was able to figure out:

1. Consider the experiment of rolling a pair of dice. Using R, show how would you define a random variable for the absolute value of the difference of the two rolls, using a user-defined function.

I'm stuck with part 2 which is:

Using R, add another random variable to the above probability space using a user defined function. The random variable is TRUE if the sum of the two rolls is even, and FALSE otherwise.

 I don't understand how to show how the random variable is TRUE if the sum of the two rolls is even

  Would really appreciate some help, thanks!

What I have tried:

S <- rolldie(2, makespace = TRUE)
  S <- addrv(S, U = X1 + X2)
  S <- addrv(S, FUN = is.even,
          invars = c("X1", "X2"), name = "V")

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
