Prove (3.1) for a nonuniform sample space. Hints: Remember that the probability of an event is the sum of the probabilities of the sample points favorable to it. Using Figure 3.1, let the points in A but not in AB have probabilities p1, p2, ... pn, the points in have probabilities pn+1, pn+2, .... + pn+k, and the points in B but not in AB have probabilities pn+k+1, pn+k+2, ....pn+k+l. Find each of the probabilities in (3.1) in terms of the ’s and show that you then have an identity.
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.
Question: Use both the sample space (2.4) and the sample space (2.5) to answer the following questions about a toss of two dice.
(a) What is the probability that the sum is ≥ 4?
(b) What is the probability that the sum is even?
(c) What is the probability that the sum is divisible by 3?
(d) If the sum is odd, what is the probability that it is equal to 7?
(e) What is the probability that the product of the numbers on the two dice is 12?
Do Problem if one person is busy evenings, one is busyevenings, two are each busy one evening, and the rest are free every evening.
Some transistors of two different kinds (call them N and P) are stored in two boxes. You know that there are 6 N’s in one box and that 2 N’s and 3 P’s got mixed in the other box, but you don’t know which box is which. You select a box and a transistorfrom it at random and find that it is an N; what is the probability that it came from the box with the 6 N’s? From the other box? If another transistor is picked from the same box as the first, what is the probability that it is also an N?
