Get started for freeLet be independent random variables, each with density function , expected value , and variance . Define the sample meanby.Showthat,and . (See Problems and.)
Use Bayes’ formula (3.8) to repeat these simple problems previously done by usinga reduced sample space.
(a) In a family of two children, what is the probability that both are girls if at
least one is a girl?
(b) What is the probability of all heads in three tosses of a coin if you know that
at least one is a head?
A ball is thrown straight up and falls straight back down. Find the probability density function so that is the probability of finding it between height and . Hint: Look at Example .
(a) One box contains one die and another box contains two dice. You select a box at random and take out and toss whatever is in it (that is, toss both dice if you have picked box 2 ). Let x=number of showing. Set up the sample space and associated probabilities for x .
(b) What is the probability of at least one3?
(c) If at least one 3 turns up, what is the probability that you picked the first box?
(d) Find xand.
A student claims in Problem 1.5 that if one child is a girl, the probability thatboth are girls is . Use appropriate sample spaces to show what is wrong withthe following argument: It doesn’t matter whether the girl is the older child or theyounger; in either case the probability is that the other child is a girl.
