Answer #1

An example of discrete random variable would be the probabilities of recieving number of calls(say 0 to 10) by a customer care executive in one hour in a day.

Suppose we are operating a call centre, based on the probabilities of number of calls it can be identified whether there is a requirement of more customer care executives or less or the present number is sufficient. Thus, these probabilities of discrete number of calls would help us to forecast the expected number of calls and hence help us to find number of executives required in the centre.

Using a real life example explain where the formula for conditional probability [P(B|A) = P(A ∩B) P(A) ] comes from. Hence, or otherwise, explain why, for independent events, the probability of the two events both occurring is the same as the probability of the first event occurring multiplied by the second event occurring.

Consider an event that will either occur or not. For example, the event might be that California will experience a major earthquake in the next five years. You let p be the probability that the event will occur. Does it make any sense to have a probability distribution of p? Why or why not? If so, what might this distribution look like? How would you interpret it?
