The Central Limit Theorem
... Now calculate the probabilities that: (b) The weight of the luggage exceeds 1520kg; (c) The weight of the luggage is between 1480kg and 1520kg. Note: by the Central Limit Theorem the underlying distribution need not be normal. Example 2: The weight of luggage that passengers take onto aircraft B is ...

What is a probability?
... • We roll a die twice: n = 36 and Ω = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), . . ., (6, 6)}. It is frequently useful to be able to refer to some feature of the outcome of an experiment. For example, we might want to write the mathematical expression which gives the ...

Note that we have intentionally avoided writing the set of outcomes as {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, because we do not wish to confuse the labels of the die with actual numbers. In general, the labels ...

Yes, because P(A and B) =P(A)P(B), that is, 0.28 (0.7)(0.4) c) Find P(A or B) P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B) = 0.7 + 0.4 – 0.28 = 0.82 d) Fi ...
