5. Calculate the conditional probability distribution, ?(?|?)P(A|B).

6. Calculate the conditional probability distribution, ?(?|?)P(B|A).

7. Does ?(?|?)=?(?|?)P(A|B)=P(B|A)? What do we call the belief that these are always equal?

8. Does ?(?)=?(?|?)P(A)=P(A|B)? What does that mean about the independence of ? and B?

Conditional Probability Problem 1 Conditional probability In group of 200 university students, 140 are full time students (80 females and 60 males) and 60 no full time students (40 females and 20 males). Let M=event a student is male W=event a student is a female F=event a student is full time FC= event a student is not full time 1) Find the probability that a student is male and full time 2) Find the probability...

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...

Calculate the Probability *Binomial Distribution* An insurance company sells life insurance policies to 5 people with the same age (35) and the same health condition (Excellent). If the Insurance company was estimating at 66% the probability of a person of that age and health condition should live 30 more years. What is the probability that 30 years after buying the policy: a. All 5 are alive b. 4 out of 5 have died c. No more than 3 survive d....

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]

Use the Central Limit Theorem to calculate the following probability. Assume that the distribution of the population data is normally distributed. A person with “normal” blood pressure has a diastolic measurement of 75 mmHg, and a standard deviation of 4.5 mmHg. i) What is the probability that a person with “normal” blood pressure will get a diastolic result of over 80 mmHg, indicating the possibility of pre-hypertension? ii) If a patient takes their blood pressure every day for 10 days,...
