The conditional probability of E given that F occurs is P(EF)=___________. So in rolling a die the conditional probability of the event E, getting a six, given that the event F, getting an even number, has occurred is P(EF)=___________.
The conditional probability of E given that F occur is P(EF)= _____________. So in rolling a die the conditional probability of the event E. “getting a six,” given that the event F, “getting an even number.” has occurred is P(EF)= ____________.
Suppose that the length of time spent by a student with a professor during office hours in minutes is an exponential r.v. with parameter ?=1/10. This professor only sees students in the office hour one at a time. Thus, if you arrive to the office and there is someone inside, you have to wait. Consider 5 randomly chosen days in which you visit the professor's office during the office hour period and someone arrives immediately ahead of you. What is the probability that in one of those days you will have to wait between 10 and 20 minutes?

T2 #4 Apr 5 Of the international passengers arriving at an airport, 1.5% are selected for luggage inspection. Let X be the number of passengers from a random sample of 400 who are sent for luggage inspection. Use Poisson approximation to X to find the probability that between 6 and 12 passengers inclusive, are sent for luggage inspection.
You consider investing £800 in stocks of the company X for a certain period. There is a possibility for X to merge with Y, in which case you expect your investment to appreciate £300, otherwise you expect it to depreciate £200. Also, rather than investing, you can choose to keep your £800. By using a utility function U(x)=x−−√, and by defining pthe probability that X merges with Y, what is the condition that p must satisfy for your investment to be worthwhile (rounded to two decimal places)?
1..Consider that a game involves the spinning of a dial which is not fair. As the dial is not fair, after spinning it is more likely to point in any particular direction than another. Suppose that the movement of a dial, X, can be modelled by the following probabilityfunction f(x) = A sin x; 0 ≤ x ≤ π. (i) Determine the value of A so that f(x) is a pdf (ii) Calculate E(X) and Var(X).

An SRS of 100 flights by Speedy Airlines showed that 64 were on time. An SRS of 100 flights by Happy Airlines showed that 80 were on time. Let pS be the proportion of on-time flights for all Speedy Airline flights, and let pH be the proportion of all on-time flights for all Happy Airlines flights. Is there evidence of a difference in the on-time rate for the two airlines? To determine this, you test the hypotheses H0 : pS – pH  0, Ha : pS – pH  0. The P-value of your test is 0.0117. Which of the following is an appropriate interpretation of the P-value? a. If the on-time rates for the two airlines are equal, there is a 0.0117 probability of getting samples with a difference as far or farther from zero as these samples. b. If the on-time rates for the two airlines are not equal, the probability of getting samples with a difference as far or farther from zero as these samples is 0.9883. c. The probability of making a Type I error is 0.0117. d. The probability of making a Type II error…
