STA104/MTH135: Probability

Homework #2: Conditional Probability

Text Problems are from Jim Pitman, Probability (1st edn).

• Exercises
  

  § 1.4:		1	3	4	6	10
  § 1.5:		3	5
  § 1.6:		1	5	8

• Another Problem
  Sometimes the Refectory (lunch restaurant in the Divinity School) offers Tuna Melts, sometimes they don't; sometimes they offer Vegetarian Chili, sometimes not. We will treat these (on a specific day--- say, today) as random events.
  1. Give a Sample Space with each of the possible outcomes. How many possible outcomes are there?
  2. Does an equally-likely probability assignment seem appropriate? Why or why not?

Good Luck!
