Events That Are Not Mutually Exclusive
... Use logical reasoning to check the reasonableness of your answer. The probability that one student chosen out of 100 does not have a cat or a dog for a pet is (100 – 63)% or 37%. The probability that two people chosen out of 100 have a cat or a dog for a pet should be greater than 37%. Since 61% > 3 ...

15 Conditional Probability
... So, if you test positive, then there is only a 25% chance that you have the condition! This answer is initially surprising, but makes sense on reflection. There are two ways you could test positive. First, it could be that you have the condition and the test is correct. Second, it could be that you ...

... An event is considered “significant” if its probability is less than or equal to 0.05. Muhammad Ali’s professional boxing record included 56 wins and 5 losses. If one match is selected at random, would it be considered significant if the match selected were a loss? ...

Erdös-Rényi Random Graphs: The Giant Component 4.1
... large constant fraction of the vertices. The second-largest component was smaller by many orders of magnitude. This property is shared by Erdös-Rényi random graphs and by many other graph models. In this lecture, we will see (mostly) why Erdös-Rényi random graphs have this property. The large co ...

Solutions to Assignment 2.
... To get an O(lg n)-time algorithm for this search problem, we will need to eliminate half the input at each step. Note that finding the median in a sorted array A of length n is O(1), since the median is just A[n/2]. So let x1 = X[n/2] and y1 = Y [n/2], and let m be the median value we’re looking for ...
