... the sample space. We will often denote outcomes by ω and the sample space by Ω. Definition 2. An event is a subset of the sample space. This definition will be changed when we come to the definition of a σ-field. The next thing to define is a probability measure. Before we can do this properly we ne ...

... absorbing state, the steady state probability is one at this state, and zero for all other states. If there is more than one absorbing state, the steady state probability will be proportioned (split) among them. In the absence of mutations, our models of reproducing populations have two absorbing st ...

Randomness and Probability
... In Section 5.2, we noted that residents of a large apartment complex can be classified based on the events A: reads USA Today and B: reads the New York Times. The Venn Diagram below describes the residents. What is the probability that a randomly selected resident who reads USA Today also reads the ...

... Ex. A) Select a month at random. Are the following random variables discrete or continuous? What are some possible values for each? (a) n = the number of times it rained that month. (b) a = the amount of rainfall that month. Ex. B) A randomly selected carton of 12 radios is inspected, and the number ...

... EATING OUT Michelle and Christina are going out to lunch. They put 5 green slips of paper and 6 red slips of paper into a bag. If a person draws a green slip, they will order a hamburger. If they draw a red slip, they will order pizza. Suppose Michelle draws a slip. Not liking the outcome, she puts ...

Probability
... • Suppose the retention rate for a school indicates the probability a freshman returns for their sophmore year is 0.65. Among 12 randomly selected freshman, what is the probability 8 of them return to school next year? Each student either returns or doesn’t. Think of each selected student as a trial ...
