Explanation Given information: A sample space S and events U and V such that U ⊆ V . Calculation: Since, U ⊆ V . V = ( U ∪ ( V − U ) ) Since both U and ( V − U ) are disjoint sets. By the probability axiom 3 , p ( A ∪ B ) = p ( A ) + p ( B ) if both A , B are mutually exclusive events V = ( U ∪ ( V − U ) ) Apply probabilities both sides

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 …

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 choosi…

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 prob…

Consider the following hypothesis test. The following results are for two independent samples taken from the two populations. Sample 1 Sample 2 n 1 = 80 n 2 = 70 x 1 = 104 x 2 = 106 σ 1 = 8.4 σ 2 = 7.6 What is the value of the test statistic? If required enter negative values as negative numbers (to 2 decimals). What is the p-value (to 4 decimals)? Use z-table. With = .05, what is your hypothesis testing conclusion?

Periodically, Merrill Lynch customers are asked to evaluate Merrill Lynch financial consultants and services (2000 Merrill Lynch Client Satisfaction Survey). Higher ratings on the client satisfaction survey indicate better service with 7 the maximum service rating. Independent samples of service ratings for two financial consultants are summarized here. Consultant A has 10 years of experience, whereas consultant B has 1 year of experience. Use = .05 and test to see whether the consultant with more experience has the higher population mean service rating. Consultant A Consultant B = 16 = 10 = 6.82 = 6.25 = .64 = .75 State the null and alternative hypotheses.H0: 1 - 2 Ha: 1 - 2 Compute the value of the test statistic (to 2 decimals).
