(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?
Set up an appropriate sample space for each of Problems 1.1 to 1.10 and use itto solve the problem. Use either a uniform or non-uniform sample space or try both.
If you select a three-digit number at random, what is the probability that the units digit is 7? What is the probability that the hundreds digit is 7?
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.
(a) There are 10 chairs in a row and 8 people to be seated. In how many ways can this be done?
(b) There are 10 questions on a test and you are to do 8 of them. In how many
Ways can you choose them?
(c) In part (a) what is the probability that the first two chairs in the row are vacant?
(d) In part (b), what is the probability that you omit the first two problems in the
test?
(e) Explain why the answer to parts (a) and (b) are different, but the answers to
(c) and (d) are the same.
Do Problem for particles in 2 boxes. Using the model discussed in Example role="math" localid="1654939679672" , find the probability of each of the three sample points in the Bose-Einstein case. (You should find that each has probabilityrole="math" localid="1654939665414" , that is, they are equally probable.)
