or countable infinite set of outcomes • Out of the previous examples, which ones are discrete sample spaces??? Continuous sample space: One that contains an interval of real numbers. The interval can be either finite or infinite 5 Events A collection of certain sample points A subset of the sample space Denoted by ‘E’ Examples: • Getting an odd number in dice throwing experiment S = {1, 2, 3, 4,

There are three elements of a probability which combine to equal a result. There is the experiment ,the sample space and the event (Editorial board, 2012). In this case the class is the experiment because the process of attempting it will result in a grade which could vary from an A to F. The different grades that can be achieved in the class are the sample space. The event or outcome is the grade that will be received at the end of the experiment. I would like to achieve an “A” in this class but

uncertain event will occur (always between 0 and 1) Impossible Event – an event that has no chance of occurring (probability = 0) Certain Event – an event that is sure to occur (probability = 1) Assessing Probability probability of occurrence= probability of occurrence based on a combination of an individual’s past experience, personal opinion, and analysis of a particular situation Events Simple event An event described by a single characteristic Joint event An event described

Permutations The word ‘coincidence’ is defined as an event that might have been arranged though it was accidental in actuality. Most of us perceive life as a set of coincidences that lead us to pre-destined conclusions despite believing in a being who is free from the shackles of time and space. The question is that a being, for whom time and space would be nothing more than two more dimensions, wouldn’t it be rather disparaging to throw events out randomly and witness how the history unfolds (as

space for the radar detection problem Solution: Let A and B be the events A={an aircraft is present}, B={the radar registers an aircraft presence}, and consider also their complements Ac={an aircraft is not present}, Bc={the radar does not register an aircraft presence}. The given probabilities are recorded along the corresponding branches of the tree describing the sample space, as shown in Fig. 1. Each event of interest corresponds to a leaf of the tree and its probability is equal

Model Answers for Chapter 4: Evaluating Classification and Predictive Performance Answer to 4.3.a: Leftmost bar: If we take the 10% "most probable 1’s(frauds)” (as ranked by the model), it will yield 6.5 times as many 1’s (frauds), as would a random selection of 10% of the records. 2nd bar from left: If we take the second highest decile (10%) of records that are ranked by the model as “the most probable 1’s (frauds ” it will yield 2.7 times as many 1’s (frauds), as would a random selection
