Solutions
... This part can be solved by the following geometric argument: Let x and y denote the two breaking points. Then choosing x and y randomly from [0, 1] is equivalent to choosing the point (x, y) randomly from the unit square [0, 1] × [0, 1]. Let R denotes the set of such points (x, y) for which a triang ...

Conditional Probability
... The same result holds if B = “The first die is k” and 2 ≤ k ≤ 6. Carrying this reasoning further, we see that given the outcome lies in A, all five possibilities have the same probability. This should not be surprising. The original probability is uniform over the 36 possibilities, so when we condit ...

... • Abbreviation for binomial distribution is B(n,p) • A binomial pmf function gives the probability of a random variable equaling a particular value, i.e., P(x=2) • A binomial cdf function gives the probability of a random variable equaling that value or less , i.e., P(x ≤ 2) • P(x ≤ 2) = P(x=0) + P( ...
