A die is thrown 720 times.
(a) Find the probability that3comes up exactly 125 times.
(b) Find the probability that 3 comes up between115and 130 times.
You are trying to find instrument A in a laboratory. Unfortunately, someone has put both instruments A and another kind (which we shall call B) away in identical unmarked boxes mixed at random on a shelf. You know that the laboratory has 3 A鈥檚 and 7 B鈥檚. If you take down one box, what is the probability that you get an A? If it is a B and you put it on the table and take down another box, what is the probability that you get an A this time?
Suppose it is known that 1% of the population have a certain kind of cancer. It is also known that a test for this kind of cancer is positive in 99% of the people who have it but is also positive in 2% of the people who do not have it. What is the probability that a person who tests positive has cancer of this type?
Find the number of ways of puttingparticles in boxes according to the three kinds of statistics.
(a) Note that (3.4) assumes P(A) is not equal to 0 since is meaningless if P(A) = 0.
Assuming both P(A) is not equal to 0 and P(B) is not equal to 0, show that if (3.4) is true, then
that is if B is independent of A, then A is independent of B.
If either P(A) or P(B) is zero, then we use (3.5) to define independence.
(b) When is an event E independent of itself? When is E independent of鈥渘ot E鈥?
