(1) Conditional Mean Table 1 is the probability of admission in the university. X=1 means that students are admitted; x=0 means that students are not admitted. Students are divided into two groups: male and Female.

Table 1: Admission Table

Admit . (x=1) Not Admit(x=0)

Male (0.3) . ( 0.2)

Female ( 0.4) . ( 0.1)

(a) Calculate the probability of admit, the probability of not admit, and the expectation of x.

(b)Calculate the probability of male, the probability of female, conditional probability of admit given male, conditional probability of not admit given male, conditional probability of admit given female, and conditional probability of not admit given female.

(d)Show that the expectation of x equals to the expectation of conditional expectation of x

Simulating a conditional probability using R. Simulating the conditional probability P(A|B) requires repeated simulation of the underlying random experiment, but restricting to trials in which B occurs. Suppose 3 dice are tossed and we want to find the probability of the first die is 4 given that the sum is 10. Modify the script ConditionalDice.R (you can find the R script file from Modules on this Canvas site) to find P(First die is 4 | Sum is 10) Hint: the...

1. In light of the university admission scandal, discuss Type 1 and 2 errors with costs and consequences (which are many) if the null H0 is that the student is qualified. 2. In light of the recent flooding around Tampa, one subdivision has approached the county to do something about the flooding for years. The Ha is that there is not flooding potential. Again identify Type 1 and 2 errors with costs and consequences, which are again many.

In probability theory, a conditional probability measures the probability of an event given another event has occurred. The conditional probability of A given B, denoted by P(A|B), is defined by P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B) P(B) , provided P(B) > 0. Show that the conditional probability defined above is a probability set function. That is show that a) P(A|B) ≥ 0 [4 Marks] b) P(S|B) = 1. [4 Marks] c) P( S Ai |B) = PP(Ai |B) [4 Marks]
