Character Q: Who are the main characters in the story? A: The main characters in the story are Violet‚ Klaus‚ Sunny‚ and Count Olaf (a.k.a Stehpano). The series and book revoles around these characters. Without them‚ there wouldn’t be a story. Uncle Monty‚ on the other hand‚ is more of a side character. He may be looking after the Baudelaire children‚ but he is still just there to be a filler. Q: Choose a character. Why is this character important in the story? A: Violet Baudelaire would

probability is the probability that an event will occur given that another has already occurred. 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) = 4/13 P(F and G) = P(F) P(G |F) = (13/40)(4/13) = .100 Union of Events P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and

Case Study: Blake Electronics CASE: 1.) MAI’s proposal directly gives Steve the conditional probabilities he needs (e.g.‚ probability of a successful venture given a favorable survey). Although the information from Iverstine and Kinard (I&K) is different‚ we can easily use Bayes’ theorem to on I&K information to compute the revised probabilities. As such‚ does not need any additional information from I&K. 2.) Steve’s problem involves three decisions. First‚ should he contract the services

Statement of the problem: a. Should Steve contract the services of an outside research agency? b. If survey is warranted‚ should he employ MAI or I&K? c. Should the new product line be introduced? Analysis of the problem: MAI’s proposal directly provides Steve the conditional probabilities he needs such as the probability of a successful venture given a favorable survey. Although the information from Iverstine and Kinard (I&K) is different‚ we can easily use Bayes’ theory to

(Thompson‚ 2009; Berlekamp‚ 2005). Hence‚ the present discussion will first briefly overview probability in relation to random events and then present its applications to blackjack. In drawing connections between mathematics‚ more specific to our case‚ probability‚ and blackjack first requires the definition of how random events and probability relate to outcomes of random events. Probability can be defined as the way in which mathematics describes randomness. Something is considered to be random if

(a) If events A and B are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive‚ are Ac and Bc mutually exclusive? Solution Ac ∩ Bc = (A ∪ B)c = Ωc = ∅. Thus the events Ac and Bc are mutually exclusive. (b) If events A and B are mutually exclusive but not collectively exhaustive‚ are Ac and Bc collectively exhaustive? Solution Let C = (Ac ∪ Bc )c ‚ that is the
