A person is selected at random. A: Their birthday is in the fall. B: Their birthday is in October. a) Mutually exclusive b) Not mutually exclusive

A person is selected at random.

A: Their birthday is in the fall.

B: Their birthday is in October.

  1. a) Mutually exclusive

b) Not mutually exclusive

If A and B are mutually exclusive events and P(A) = 0.43, P(B) = 0.34 then P(A and B) = a) 0 b) 0.34 c) 0.43 d) 0.77

  • If A and B are mutually exclusive events and P(A) = 0.43, P(B) = 0.34 then

P(A and B) =

Sameer has two coins: one fair coin and one biased coin which lands heads with probability 3/4. He picks one coin at random (50-50) and flips it repeatedly until he gets a tails. Given that he observes 3 heads before the first tails, find the posterior probability that he picked each coin. (a) What are the prior and posterior odds for the fair coin? (b) What are the prior and posterior predictive probabilities of heads on the next flip? Here prior predictive means prior to considering the data of the first four flips.

Dice. You have a drawer full of 4, 6, 8, 12 and 20-sided dice. You suspect that they are in proportion 1:2:10:2:1. Your friend picks one at random and rolls it twice getting 5 both times. (a) What is the probability your friend picked the 8-sided die? (b) (i) What is the probability the next roll will be a 5? (ii) What is the probability the next roll will be a 15?
