PROBABILITY AND THE BINOMIAL THEOREM
... The counting principle can be applied to any number of activities. For example, consider a set of three cards lying facedown numbered 4, 6, and 8. Cards are drawn, one at a time, and not replaced. The numbers are used in the order in which they are drawn to form three-digit numbers. Note that since ...

... (3.26). Observe that for α > 0 the set {ω : limN →∞ ZN (ω)/N α exists} is a tail event, whence it follows that it occurs with probability 1 or 0. We have seen from the SLLN that it occurs with probability 1 if α = 1/2 and the limit is 0. Next we show that if α = 0 it occurs with probability 0. Propo ...

1 Overview 2 The Set Cover Problem
... by associating each vertex vi with a set Ti and each edge ej becomes an element aj in the universe that we aim to cover. While this is an instance of the minimum set cover problem, it is an easier one. In particular, the frequency of elements in sets is bounded. Definition. For a given instance of s ...
