Answer #1

We use the general formula for Conditional probability :

We are given,

P(visiting Boston) = 0.43

P(visiting Providence) = 0.33

P(visiting both Providence and Boston ) = 0.12

a)

Probability that a person who will visit Boston will also visit Providence = P(visiting Providence | visiting Boston )

b)

Probability that a person who will visit Providence will also visit Boston = P(visiting Boston | visiting Providence)

Problem 1: Relations among Useful Discrete Probability Distributions. A Bernoulli experiment consists of only one trial with two outcomes (success/failure) with probability of success p. The Bernoulli distribution is P (X = k) = pkq1-k, k=0,1 The sum of n independent Bernoulli trials forms a binomial experiment with parameters n and p. The binomial probability distribution provides a simple, easy-to-compute approximation with reasonable accuracy to hypergeometric distribution with parameters N, M and n when n/N is less than or equal...
