Today, we covered most of Chapter 5 – we will cover some more examples on Tuesday, 16 March 2010. We listed all the various properties of probabilities – keep in mind that you will need to show that events are disjoint (for addition rule) or independent (for multiplication rule) where necessary.
There are a few things to keep in mind:
- proportion, percentage, and probability are all equivalent;
- classicist probability (my term) = classical probability (book’s term);
- frequentist probability (my term) = empirical probability (book’s term);
- It is important to carefully consider why you are using a particular rule – this will be helpful when all the probability questions are mixed.
At this point, you should be able to complete the following assignments from Chapter 5:
- Section 5.1 #1-35 odd, 41-47 odd
- Section 5.2 #1-31 odd, 39, 41
- Section 5.4 #1-7 odd, 11-15 odd
On Thursday, 23 March, the next homework assignment is due. You should be able to complete the following:
- Section 5.1 #15-23 odd, 35, 45
- Section 5.2 #1-31 odd, 39, 41
- Section 5.4 #1-7 odd, 11-15 odd
