Determine whether the samples are independent or dependent: A data set contains the well-being scores as the measurements of depression conditions for 30 patients before they take a new medication Prozac and the scores after these patients take Prozac. We would like to test the claim that the well-being scores before they take Prozac is lower than that after they take the medication. a) The samples are dependent because there is a natural pairing between the two samples b) The samples are dependent because the samples come from the human population. c) The samples are independent because there is not a natural pairing between the two samples d) The samples are independent because the samples come from human population.
Suppose that a Bayesian spam filter is trained on a set of 5000 spam messages and 7500 messages that are not spam. The word "achievement" appears in 1000 spam messages and 150 messages that are not spam, while the word “research" appears in 800 spam messages and 300 messages that are not spam. Estimate the probability that a received message containing both the words "achievement" and "research" is spam. Will the message be rejected as spam if the threshold for rejecting spam is 0.9?
This student never eats the same kind of food for 2 consecutive weeks. If she eats in a Korean restaurant one week, then she is four times as likely to have Turkish as French food the next week. If she eats in a Turkish restaurant one week, then she is equally likely to have Korean as French food the next week. If she eats in a French restaurant one week, then she is five times as likely to have Korean as Turkish food the next week. Assume that state 1 is Korean and that state 2 is Turkish, and state 3 is French. Find the transition matrix for this Markov process. ... ... P = ... ...

20. Counterexamples and examples: = a) Let S = {1, 2, 3, 4) with each point carrying probability 1/4. Let A₁ {1, 2}, A2 = {1,3), A3 {1, 4). Then any two of A1, A2, A3 are inde- pendent, but A1, A2, A3 are not independent. = b) Let (Ai, 1 ≤ i ≤ 5} be a measurable partition of 2 such that P(A₁) = P(A2) = P(A3) = 15/64, P(A4) = 1/64, P (A5) B = A1 U A4, C = A2 U A4, D = A3 U A4. Check that = 18/64. Define P(BCD)=P(B) P (C)P (D) but that B, C, D are not independent. c) Let X₁, X2 be independent random variables each assuming only the values +1 and -1 with probability 1/2. Are X1, X2, X1 X2 pairwise inde- pendent? Are X1, X2, X1 X2 an independent collection?
This student never eats the same kind of food for 2 consecutive weeks. If she eats a Chinese restaurant one week, then she is equally likely to have Greek as Italian food the next week. If she eats a Greek restaurant one week, then she is three times as likely to have Chinese as Italian food the next week. If she eats a Italian restaurant one week, then she is four times as likely to have Chinese as Greek food the next week. Assume that state 1 is Chinese and that state 2 is Greek, and state 3 is Italian. Find the transition matrix for this Markov process. P =
