SOLUTION: De ̄ne [binomial theorem] Thus, Z˘Poi(1 + 2), as its PMF matches that of a Poisson distribution. Methods of enumeration. What is the probability the ball is white? Definition: f (I) Examples. TOTAL PROBABILITY AND BAYES THEOREM. ¢ Ω is the space of all sequences of H and T of length ¢ Let X count the number of heads. Let Z= X+ Y. What is f Z(z)? Examples Suppose X, Y are independent and identically distributed (iid) continuous Unif(0;1) random vari-ables. Let X; Y Unif(1; 4) be independent rolls of a fairsided die. ExampleA biased coin (with probability of obtaining a Head equal to p > 0) is tossed repeatedly and independently until the ̄rst head is observed. Four variants of the Bayes rule. Combinatorial probability A comprehensive example. Example. ¢ For example X(HHTHHTTHTH) =† Can you think of an analogous X for the other prob-lems mentioned above?† TOTAL PROBABILITY AND BAYES THEOREM. We always begin by calculating the range: we have Z= [0;2]. Given thatis sent, the probability of receivingis− η. Compute the probability that the ̄rst head appears at an even numbered toss. Consider a communication channel shown below. Conditional PDFs, given another r.v. ExampleA biased coin (with probability of obtaining a Head equal to p > 0) is tossed repeatedly and independently until the ̄rst Here the total probability is just two terms: P(A) = P(AjB)P(B) + P(AjBc)P(Bc) In-Class Problem: You have two urns, one withblack balls andwhite balls, the other with Basic notions of probability. Sample spaces, events, relative frequency, probability axiomsFinite sample spaces. What is the PMF of Z = X + Y? Well we know that for the range of Z we have the following, since it is the A random variable on a sample space Ω is a function from Ω to R. † Example.A coin is flippedtimes. Given thatis sent, the probability of receivingis− ε You pick one urn at random and then select a ball from the urn. For a U˘Unif(0;1) random variable, we know U = [0;1 Here the total probability is just two terms: P(A) = P(AjB)P(B) + P(AjBc)P(Bc) In-Class Problem: You have two urns, one withblack balls andwhite balls, the other withblack balls andwhite balls. The probability of sending ais p and the probability of sending ais− p. PXIY(x ly)= P(X=x IY=y)= Px y(x, y) ' (), PF Y. if py(y»O.
