Let S = {2, 6, 12} be a sample space associated with an experiment. (a) List all events of this experiment. {2, 6}, {2, 12}, {6, 12}, {2, 6, 12}∅, {2, 6}, {2, 12}, {6, 12}, {2, 6, 12} ∅, {2}, {6}, {12}, {2, 6}, {2, 12}, {6, 12}{2}, {6}, {12}, {2, 6}, {2, 12}, {6, 12}, {2, 6, 12}∅, {2}, {6}, {12}, {2, 6}, {2, 12}, {6, 12}, {2, 6, 12}{2}, {6}, {12}, {2, 6}, {2, 12}, {6, 12} (b) How many subsets of S contain the number 12? subsets(c) How many subsets of S contain either the number 6 or the number 12? subsets
Let A and B be two events in the sample space ( S ) , with P ( A ) = 0.72 , P ( B ) = 0.68 and , P ( A U B ) = 0.80 , then find the value of P ( A | B )
Consider an experiment with sample space ?= {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}. Let events ?={1,3,5,7}, ?={7,4,6}, and?={1,4}. List the outcomes in each event: 1.) ?∩? 2.) ?∪(?∩?) 3.) ?∩?'
The potential outcomes of an experiment consist of the following triples: (a, a, a) (b, b, b) (c, c, c) (a, b, c) (b, c, a) (c, b, a) (a, c, b) (b, a, c) (c, a, b) Assume that every outcome in the sample space is equally likely. Define the following events: A1 = "letter 'a' is in the triple's first position," A2 = "letter 'a' is in the triple's second position," and A3 = "letter 'a' is in the triple's third position." For example, (a, b, c) would be a member of A1, (b, a, c) would be a member of A2, and (c, b, a) would be a member of A3. The events A1, A2, and A3 are not mutually independent. Which of the following statements could be cited in support of this conclusion? Choose from answers below A) Events A1 and A3 are not pairwise independent B) P(A2 ∩ A3) = 1/9 C) Events A1 and A2 are not pairwise independent D) P(A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3) = 1/9
Naive Approach 1: Say A, B, C are independent ifP (A ∩B ∩C) = P (A)P (B)P (C).Suppose two six-sided dice are tossed and the outcome is noted. Let S denotethe sample space of this experiment.i. Write down the set S explicitly. Consider the eventsA = {(i, i) : i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, B = {(x, y) : 7 ≤x + y ≤10},C = {(x, y) : x + y is 2 or 7 or 8}.Write down the sets A, B, and C explicitly and calculate P (A), P (B), andP (C).
Let S be the sample space from an experiment, and let events A and B have the following properties: A ∩ B = ∅ , and P(A)>0, P(B)>0. With this information select the option that correctly describes the relationship between events A and B? Choose from the options below. A.) A is independent from B B.) A is not independent from B C.) Not enough information to know independence
The sales of a coffee shop in a commercial district is very difficult to predict. The total revenue of the shop can be very good one day and bad the other day. The revenue can be classified into three different categories as High, Medium or Low a) Explain how we can see the revenue of the coffee shop as a "Random Experiment" b) Write down the sample space of this random experiment. c) Write down the event that revenue is high or medium using set notation. Write down a new event that is disjoint (mutually excusive) to the previous event. d) What would be the appropriate observation points (epochs) of the revenue? Explain.
