Next Quiz on Wednesday, 30 September 2009 and will cover Section 5.1.

Today we covered Section 5.1 and discussed the three types of probability:

  1. frequentist;
  2. classicist;
  3. subjective.

When we use a ‘fair’ coin or ‘fair’ die, then we can construct a sample space and use the classicist definition of probability. From Section 5.1, we discussed two rules of probability – the ones that are important for probability models. Lastly, from Section 5.2, we discussed the two addition rules and the complement rule for probability.

Next homework assignment consists of at least the following:

Section 5.1: # 9, 11, 15-33, 37, 45, 47
Section 5.2: # 1-41 odd
