listed above comprise a valid probability distribution? Explain. The individual probabilities are all between 0 & 1 and the sum = 100% b. What is the probability that a randomly selected request is for one of the three B’s? P(one of the B’s) = P(Bach) + P(Beethoven) + P(Brahms) = 5 + 26 + 9 = 40% c.

uncertainty exists in model parameters. 2. A continuous random variable may assume only integer values within a given interval. 3. A joint probability is the probability that two or more events that are mutually exclusive can occur simultaneously. 4. A decision tree is a diagram consisting of circles decision nodes‚ square probability nodes‚ and branches. 5. A table of random numbers must be normally distributed and efficiently generated. 6.

George Jetson‚ an employee of Spacely Construction Company‚ claims to have injured his back as a result of a fall while repairing the roof at of the 1313 Mockingbird Lane Apartments. He filed a lawsuit against Herman Munster‚ the owner of 1313 Mockingbird Lane Apartments‚ asking for damages of $1‚500‚000. George claims that the roof had rotten sections and that his fall could have been prevented if Mr. Munster had told Spacely Construction about the problem. Mr. Munster notified his insurance

If A and B are two events‚ then the conditional probability A given B is written as P ( A | B ) and read as “the probability of A given that B has already occurred.” We are to calculate the probability of the intersection of the events F and G. P(F and G) = P(F) P(G |F) P(F) = 13/40 P(G |F)
