You are playing an exciting game of Battleship. Your opponent secretly positions ships on a 10 by 10 grid and you try to guess where the ships are. Each of your guesses is a hit if there is a ship there and a miss otherwise. The game has just started and your opponent has 3 ships: a battleship (length 4), a submarine (length 3), and a destroyer (length 2). (Usually there are 5 ships to start, but to simplify the calculations we are considering 3 here.) You are playing a variation in which you unleash a salvo, making 5 simultaneous guesses. Assume that your 5 guesses are a simple random sample drawn from the 100 grid positions. Find the mean and variance of the number of distinct ships you will hit in your salvo. (Give exact answers in terms of binomial coefficients or factorials, and also numerical values computed using a computer.) Hint: First work in terms of the number of ships missed, expressing this as a sum of indicator r. v.s. Then use the fundamental bridge and naive definition of probability, which can be applied since all sets of 5 grid positions are equally likely.
