Consider a population with m+n elements, where n of them are 1 and m of them are 0. Then sample two points randomly from the population. a) Suppose we sample them without replacement, which corresponds to the random sample. Calculate the probability of the outcomes (0,0), (0,1), (1,0) and (1,1). b) Suppose we sample them with replacement. Calculate the probability of the outcomes (0,0), (0,1), (1,0) and (1,1).

There are “n” candies in a jar. 7 of the candies are red. The rest of the candies are blue. Kevin takes at random a candy from the jar. He eats the candy (clue:   is this a "replacement" or "without replacement" problem?). Kevin then takes at random another candy from the jar (clue: this second candy is picked from how many total candies? less or equal to "n"?) . He eats the candy. The probability that Kevin eats 2 red...
