Assume that \(P\left(C_{1} \cap C_{2} \cap C_{3}\right)>0\). Prove that $$P\left(C_{1} \cap C_{2} \cap C_{3} \cap C_{4}\right)=P\left(C_{1}\right) P\left(C_{2} \mid C_{1}\right) P\left(C_{3} \mid C_{1} \cap C_{2}\right) P\left(C_{4} \mid C_{1} \cap C_{2} \cap C_{3}\right)$$
From a bowl containing 5 red, 3 white, and 7 blue chips, select 4 at random and without replacement. Compute the conditional probability of 1 red, 0 white, and 3 blue chips, given that there are at least 3 blue chips in this sample of 4 chips.
If \(X\) is a random variable such that \(E(X)=3\) and \(E\left(X^{2}\right)=13\), use Chebyshev's inequality to determine a lower bound for the probability \(P(-2<\) \(X<8)\)
Find the cdf \(F(x)\) associated with each of the following probability density
functions. Sketch the graphs of \(f(x)\) and \(F(x)\).
(a) \(f(x)=3(1-x)^{2}, 0
Players \(A\) and \(B\) play a sequence of independent games. Player \(A\) throws a die first and wins on a "six." If he fails, \(B\) throws and wins on a "five" or "six." If he fails, \(A\) throws and wins on a "four," "five," or "six." And so on. Find the probability of each player winning the sequence.
