(a) Prove that for events A and B, if P(B|A) > P(B) then P(A|B) > P(A).
Addition Rule of Probability
It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.
Expected Value
When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known as the expectation, is denoted by: E(X).
Probability Distributions
Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosing a card. Each of these events has multiple possibilities. Every such possibility is measured with the help of probability. To be more precise, the probability is used for calculating the occurrence of events that may or may not happen. Probability does not give sure results. Unless the probability of any event is 1, the different outcomes may or may not happen in real life, regardless of how less or how more their probability is.
Basic Probability
The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the probability value 1 indicates that the event will occur. Sum of the probability value must be 1. The probability value is never a negative number. If it happens, then recheck the calculation.
![(a) Prove that for events A and B, if P(B|A) > P(B) then P(A|B) > P(A).
(b) A box contains four pieces of paper. Each paper has a note as follows: (1) "win prize
1", (2) "win prize 2", (3) "win prize 3" and (4) “win prizes 1, 2 and 3". One paper
is randomly selected. Let A; ={ "win prize i"} for i = 1, 2, 3.
i. Are events Aı, A2, A3 pairwise independent?
ii. Are events A1, A2, A3 mutually independent?
(c) A group of 20 people went out for dinner. Of those 10 people went to an Italian
restaurant, 6 to a Japanese restaurant and 4 to a French restaurant. We were told
that 8 people are satisfied with their meal in the Italian restaurant, 4 are satisfied with
their meal in the Japanese restaurant and 2 are satisfied with their meal in the French
restaurant. You meet someone the next day and he is satisfied with their meal:
i. what is the probability they went to an Italian restaurant?
ii. what is the probability they went to a Japanese restaurant?
ii. what is the probability they went to a French restaurant?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F8e4f2511-5b0a-411f-81c1-9263f86e6ff6%2F018e6e8a-5bdf-4240-a0b0-43b6b3a8e151%2Fiz42wu7_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
