PROBABILITY 1. ACCORDING TO STATISTICAL DEFINITION OF PROBABILITY P(A) = lim FA/n WHERE FA IS THE NUMBER OF TIMES EVENT A OCCUR AND n IS THE NUMBER OF TIMES THE EXPERIMANT IS REPEATED. 2. IF P(A) = 0, A IS KNOWN TO BE AN IMPOSSIBLE EVENT AND IS P(A) = 1, A IS KNOWN TO BE A SURE EVENT. 3. BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTIONS IS BIPARAMETRIC DISTRIBUTION, WHERE AS POISSION DISTRIBUTION IS UNIPARAMETRIC ONE. 4. THE CONDITIONS FOR THE POISSION MODEL ARE : • THE PROBABILIY

Probability, Mean and Median In the last section, we considered (probability) density functions. We went on to discuss their relationship with cumulative distribution functions. The goal of this section is to take a closer look at densities, introduce some common distributions and discuss the mean and median. Recall, we define probabilities as follows: Proportion of population for Area under the graph of p ( x ) between a and b which x is between a and b p( x)dx a b The cumulative

Mary Reich Math 464-931 Assignment #5 Chapter 18 Review Chapter 18 discussed Theoretical Probability and Statistical Inference. Jakob Bernoulli, wanted to be able to quantify probabilities by looking at the results observed in many similar instances. It seemed reasonably obvious to Bernoulli that the more observations one made of a given situation, the better one would be able to predict future occurrences. Bernoulli presented this scientific proof in his theorem, the “Law of Large Numbers”

Probability Discrete Event Simulation: Tutorial on Probability and Random Variables 1. A card is drawn from an ordinary deck of 52 playing cards. Find the probability that it is (a) an Ace, (b) a jack of hearts, (c) a three of clubs or a six of diamonds, (d) a heart, (e) any suit except hearts, (f) a ten of spade, (g) neither a four nor a club (1/3, 1/52, 1/26, 1/4, 3/4, 4/13, 9/13) 2. A ball is drawn at random from a box containing six red balls, 4 white balls and 5 blue balls. Determine
