If \(P\left(C_{1}\right)>0\) and if \(C_{2}, C_{3}, C_{4}, \ldots\) are mutually disjoint sets, show that \(P\left(C_{2} \cup C_{3} \cup \cdots \mid C_{1}\right)=P\left(C_{2} \mid C_{1}\right)+P\left(C_{3} \mid C_{1}\right)+\cdots\)
A drawer contains eight different pairs of socks. If six socks are taken at random and without replacement, compute the probability that there is at least one matching pair among these six socks. Hint: Compute the probability that there is not a matching pair.
Let \(f(x)=1 / x^{2}, 1
Consider the cdf \(F(x)=1-e^{-x}-x e^{-x}, 0 \leq x<\infty\), zero elsewhere. Find the pdf, the mode, and the median (by numerical methods) of this distribution.
Let \(X\) have the exponential pdf, \(f(x)=\beta^{-1} \exp \\{-x / \beta\\},
