1.Ready to useAn experiment is performed twice, each with 5 outcomes xi,yi,i=1,…5 . Find mean and s.d. of their differences yi−xi,i=1,…5.
-
2.draftGiven 32 datapoints in a table find their minimum, lower quartile, median, upper quartile, and maximum.
-
3.draftSample of size 24 is given in a table. Find sample mean, sample standard deviation, sample median and the interquartile range.
-
4.draftTwo ordered data sets, each with 10 numbers. Find the sample standard deviation for each and for their sum.
-
5.Ready to useGiven P(A), P(A∪B), P(Bc) find P(A∩B), P(Ac∩Bc), P(Ac∪Bc) etc..
-
6.Ready to useExample showing how to calculate the probability of A or B using the law p(AorB)=p(A)+p(B)−p(AandB). Also converting percentages to probabilities. Easily adapted to other applications.
-
7.draftConverting odds to probabilities.
-
8.Ready to useRolling a pair of dice. Find probability that at least one die shows a given number.
-
9.Doesn't workA box contains n balls, m of these are red the rest white. r are drawn without replacement. What is the probability that at least one of the r is red?
-
10.Ready to useTwo numbers are drawn at random without replacement from the numbers m to n. Find the probability that both are odd given their sum is even.
-
11.Ready to useGiven subset T⊂S of m objects in n find the probability of choosing without replacement r<n−m from S and not choosing any element in T.
-
12.Ready to useGiven a probability mass function P(X=i) with outcomes i∈{0,1,2,…8}, find the expectation E and P(X>E).
-
13.draftGiven a large number of gambles, find the expected profit.
-
14.draftDetermine if the following describes a probability mass function. P(X=x)=ax+bc,x∈S={n1,n2,n3,n4}⊂R.
-
15.Ready to useExercise using a given uniform distribution Y, calculating the expectation and variance as well as asking for the CDF. Also finding P(Y≤a) and P(b<Y<c) for a given values a,b,c.
-
16.draftGiven a random variable X normally distributed as N(m,σ2) find probabilities P(X>a),a>m;P(X<b),b<m.
-
17.draftCalculating simple probabilities using the exponential distribution.
-
