    All written assignments must have this as their first page.


    IMPORTANT NOTES: Please read all the sections below and understand them well.
    Assignments related:
    1. Do the assignment yourself. It is lot more honorable to fail than to cheat and use foul
    methods to deceive.
    2. ZERO Tolerance Policy for plagiarism and cheating. First cheating case gets zero.
    Subsequent cheating case gets ZERO in all assignments.
    3. A gross violation may be reported to the Department Discipline Committee (DDC).
    4. Assignments may carry unequal weights.
    5. Submit 'in class' on due date. If no class, then submit before 4 pm in G07.
    6. There is no retake or allocation of average marks for assignments in case you fail to submit
    because of whatever reason, genuine or otherwise.
    7. Best way to do assignment would be to do ONE problem every day!

    Submission guidelines
    Submissions failing to follow these guidelines will not be considered.
    1. Submit hand written assignments. Computer prints are not acceptable.
    2. Assignments should be done on A4 sized blank white (photocopy) paper (70g).
    3. Multiple pages should be stapled.
    4. No cover (file, transparent, ring binding etc) should be used.

    5. Submit in class on the due date (at the start of the class).

    d. What is the probability of getting a sum = n
    e. What is the probability of getting a sum > n2
    f. What is the probability of getting a sum > n2 & n < 5.
    2. An experiment consists of rolling a die and flipping a coin.
    a. If the coin flip is heads, the value of the die is multiplied by -1, otherwise it is left as is.
    What are the possible outcomes of this experiment?
    b. Now, suppose we want to repeat the experiment in part (a) 4 times and record the
    sum of the results of each experiment. How many outcomes are there in this
    experiment and what are they?
    3. Which of the two sample spaces given below is invalid and why?

    S = {Heads and it is raining, Tails and it is not raining, Tails}

    the interval [ 0, 2 ) to form a point ( x, y ).
    a. Describe the sample space of all points.
    b. What fraction of the points in the space satisfy x > y ?
    c. What fraction of points in the sample space satisfy x = y ?

    7. An experiment consists of tossing a coin twice and observing the sequence of coin
    tosses. The sample space consists of four outcomes s1 = ( H, H ) , s2 = ( H, T ) ,
    s3 = ( T, H ) , and s4 = ( T, T ) . Suppose the coin is not evenly weighted such that we
    expect a heads to occur more often than tails and as a result, we assign the following

    a. Does this probability assignment satisfy the three axioms of probability?
    b. Given this probability assignment, what is Pr ( first toss is heads ) ?
    c. Given this probability assignment, what is Pr ( second toss is heads ) ?
    8. A spinner as shown in the figure selects a number from the set { 1, 2, 3, 4 } . If we select the
    sample points ( s1 = 1, s2 = 2, s3 = 3, s4 = 4 ) as elementary events and use the classical
    approach to assigning probabilities, then we would conclude that the spinner selects all four
    numbers each with equal probability, 1/4. Show how to describe this experiment in terms of
    more fundamental outcomes so that the classical approach leads to a more reasonable
    probability assignment.

    9. A box of 30 diodes is known to contain five defective ones. If two diodes are selected at
    random without replacement,
    a. what is the probability that at least one of these diodes is defective?
    b. what is the probability that at least none of these diodes is defective?
    10. Two six-sided (balanced) dice are thrown. Find the probabilities of each of the following
    events:
    a. only 2, 3, or 4 appear on both dice;
    b. the value of the second roll subtracted from the value of the first roll is 2;
    c. the sum is 10 given that one roll is 6;
    d. the sum is 7 or 8 given one roll is 5;
    e. one roll is a 4 given the sum is 7.
    11. Consider two events A and B such that Pr(A) > Pr(B) . Determine if Pr (A|B) > Pr (B|A)
    is always true, sometimes true, or never true.
    12. There are two urns containing colored balls. The first urn contains 50 red balls and 50 blue
    balls. The second urn contains 30 red balls and 70 blue balls. One of the two urns is
    randomly chosen (both urns have probability of being chosen) and then a ball is drawn at
    random from one of the two urns. If a red ball is drawn, what is the probability that it comes
    from the first urn?
