If the sample space S is an infinite set, does this necessarily imply that any random variable defined from S will have an finite set of possible values? If yes, say why. If no, give an example.

Prove Cantor’s original result: for any nonempty set (whether finite or infinite), the cardinality of S is strictly less than that of its power set 2S . First show that there is a one-to-one (but not necessarily onto) map g from S to its power set. Next assume that there is a one-to-one and onto function f and show that this assumption leads to a contradiction by defining a new subset of S that cannot possibly be the image of...

Let S denote the set of all possible finite binary strings, i.e. strings of finite length made up of only 0s and 1s, and no other characters. E.g., 010100100001 is a finite binary string but 100ff101 is not because it contains characters other than 0, 1. a. Give an informal proof arguing why this set should be countable. Even though the language of your proof can be informal, it must clearly explain the reasons why you think the set should...

A Bernoulli trial is an experiment with the sample space S = {success, failure}. Let X be the random variable on S defined by ? X(s) : 1 if s = success 0 if s = failure. Suppose the probability P ({success}) is equal to some value p ∈ (0, 1). (a) Tabulate for the rv X the probability distribution Px (X = x) in terms of p for x ∈ {0, 1}. (b) Give the expression for the cdf...

we have sample space (S,P) where S is the power set of {1,2} and P(a) = |a| / |S| for all a in S (thus |S|=4). We define two random variables such that for all a in S we have X(a) = |a| and Y(a) = 1 if b is in a and 0 otherwise. What is the probability that Y(a)=1? what is the expected value of Y? What is the variance of Y? what is the value of P(X=1...

Random variables are used to model situations in which the outcome, before the fact, is uncertain. One component in the model is the sample space. The sample space is the list of all possible outcomes (or a range of possible values). For each value in the sample space, there is an associated probability. The probability can either be an estimate of something that exists in the real world or it could be an exact value that comes from an ideal...

Let the S = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10} be the sample space of a random experiment. Suppose A is the event that we observe a number less than 3 and B be the event that we observe a number greater than 8. Determine the event that either A occurs or B occurs.

Same Topic: 1. For a finite, equiprobable sample space S, show that P(A|B) = |A ∩ B| |B| , for any two events A, B. 2. Use the result in problem 2 to find P(A|B) where |A| = 25, |A − B| = 15, and |B − A| = 10. Note the use of the result from 2 allows us to compute this conditional probability without actually knowing the size of our sample space.
