We assume that the dice operate separately and independently of each other. Suppose that our experiment consists of tossing the dice, and noting the resulting pair of faces.

Compute the conditional probability Pr{SUM > 3 | d4 shows Odd}.

Pr{ d4 shows Odd} = Pr{1 or 3 shows from d4} = (1/4)+(1/4) = 2/4 = 1/2 = .50

Pr{SUM > 3 and d4 shows Odd} = Pr{ One of  (3,1), (3,2) Shows} = Pr{(3,1)}+Pr{(3,2)} = (1/4)*(3/10)+(1/4)*(7/10) =10/40 = 1/4 = .25

Pr{SUM > 3 | d4 shows Odd} = Pr{SUM > 3 and d4 shows Odd} / Pr{ d4 shows Odd} = .25/.50 =.50

Compute the conditional probability Pr{SUM is Even | d2 shows Even}.

Pr{ d2 shows Even}=Pr{2 shows from d2}=7/10

 

Pr{SUM is Even and d2 shows Even}=Pr{one of (2,2), (4,2) shows}= Pr{(2,2)}+Pr{(4,2)}=(1/4)*(.7)+(1/4)*(.7) = .35

 

Pr{SUM is Even | d2 shows Even}= Pr{SUM is Even and d2 shows Even}/ Pr{ d2 shows Even}=.35/.70=.50

Color Bowl/Draws without Replacement

 

We have a bowl containing the following colors and counts of balls (color@count):

 

Blue @ 5, Green @ 1, Red @ 2, Yellow @ 3

 

Each trial of our experiment consists of three (3) draws without replacement from the bowl.

 

Compute these directly.

Case Four

Fictitious Disease Severity

Long Run Interpretation

Perfect Samples

 

Consider an entirely fictitious disease, Disease Y. Patients presenting with Disease Y are classified according to severity: No Symptoms, Mild, Moderate, Severe, Fatal. 

Suppose that the probabilities for severity are noted below:

 

Disease Y Severity

Probability

No Symptoms

.20

Mild

.50

Moderate

.249

Severe

.05

Fatal

.001

Total

1

 

Interpret each probability using the Long Run Argument. Be specific and complete for full credit.

 

In long runs of sampling Disease Y patients with replacement, approximately 20% of sampled patients show no symptoms, approximately 50% of sampled patients present mild disease, approximately 24.9% of sampled patients present moderate disease, approximately 5% of sampled patients present severe disease and approximately .1% of sampled patients are fatal cases.

 

Compute the perfect sample of n=1000 Disease Y patients, and describe the relationship of this perfect sample to real random samples of Disease Y patients.

 

eNS=1000*PNS= 1000*.20 = 200

eMILD=1000*PMILD= 1000*.50 = 500

eMODERATE=1000*PMODERATE= 1000*.249 = 249

eSEVERE=1000*PSEVERE= 1000*.05 = 50

eFATAL=1000*PFATAL= 1000*.001 = 1

 

In samples of n=1000 Disease Y patients with replacement, approximately 200 sampled patients show no symptoms, approximately 500 sampled patients present mild disease, approximately 249 sampled patients present moderate disease, approximately 5 sampled patients present severe disease and approximately 1 patient is fatal.
