Consider the sample space \(\Omega = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8\}\) with probability distribution below. Calculate the probabilities of \(A = \{1, 3, 7, 8\}\text{,}\)\(B = \{2, 3, 6, 7\}\text{,}\)\(A\cup B\text{,}\) and \(A \cap B\text{.}\)
Suppose a die has the values \(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\) on the faces, but the die is not fair. Instead, the probabilities scale by the same amount as the face values. For example, a result of 4 is twice as likely as a result of 2, since 4 is twice as large as 2; a result of 6 is six times more likely than a result of 1; and so on. Write a probability distribution table for this die.
Suppose a die has the values \(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\) on the faces, but the die is not fair. Instead, each even value has an equal probability, each odd value has an equal probability, and the even values are each twice as likely as the odd values to appear on a roll. Write a probability distribution table for this die.
Let \(A = \{1, 2, 3\}\) and \(B = \{3, 4, 5\}\) be events in the sample space \(\Omega = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}\text{.}\) Create a probability distribution for \(\Omega\) so that \(A, B\) are independent.
If \(f(x)\) is a probability density function (donβt worry about what that means for now), then integrals such as \(\int_a^b f(x)\ dx\) are used to calculate certain probabilities, as are values of the form \(F(x)\text{.}\)
