Are the following correct non-uniform sample spaces for a throw of two dice? If

so, find the probabilities of the given sample points. If not show what is wrong.

Suggestion: Copy sample space (2.4) and circle on it the regions corresponding to the points of the proposed non-uniform spaces.

(a) First die shows an even number.

First die shows an odd number.

(b) Sum of two numbers on dice is even.

First die is even and second odd.

First die is odd and second even.

(c) First die shows a number≤3.

At least one die shows a number > 3.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) No, the probability the First die shows an even number and First die shows an odd number is same, that is12.

(b) Yes, the probability of getting an even sum by adding all the associated probabilities where sum is even is 13, the probability that first die is even and second odd is 14and the probability that first die is odd and second even is 14.

(c) Yes, the probability that First die shows a number is less than or equal to 3 is 12and the probability that at least one die shows a number is greater than 3 is 34.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Non-Uniform Sample Space

Non-Uniform Sample spaceof any experiment is the set of all possible mutually exclusive events such that each point has different probability.

02

Creating Sample Space for experiment when two die are rolled

When two die are rolled, there are 36 points in the sample space.

Find the sample space for the given problem.

03

Finding the probability for Sum of two numbers on dice is even, First die is even and second odd and First die is odd and second even.

Find the probability of getting an even sum by adding all the associated probabilities where sum is even.

19+19+19=39=13

Find the probability that first die is even and second odd.

936=14

Find the probability that first die is odd and second even.

936=14

It can be observed that the probabilities of each sample point are not equal, thus the sample space is non-uniform.

04

Finding the probability that First die shows a number is less than or equal to 3 and At least one die shows a number is greater than 3.

Find the probability that First die shows a number is less than or equal to 3.

1836=12

Find the probability that at least one die shows a number is greater than 3.

2736=34

It can be observed that the probabilities of each sample point are not equal, thus the sample space is non-uniform.

(a) Following the methods of Examples 3,4,5, show that the number of equally likely ways of putting N particles in n boxes,n>N, nNisfor Maxwell Boltzmann particles, C(n,N)for Fermi-Dirac particles, C(n−1+N,N)andfor Bose-Einstein particles.

(b) Show that if n is much larger than N (think, for example, ofn=106,N=10), then both the Bose-Einstein and the Fermi-Dirac results in part (a) contain products of N numbers, each number approximately equal to n. Thus show that for n N, both the BE and the FD results are approximately equal tonNN!which is1N!times the MB result.
