There was no lecture this past Monday because of MLK day.
In Lecture 7, we discussed some properties of independent events and talked about Bernoulli trials. There was also a quiz in which the probability of a combination of events and complement of events was computed, under an independence assumption. The key to getting full credit on the quiz was to justify every step, including the fact that "A indpendent of B" implies "A independent of B-complement".
A bonus point opportunity was announced. Deadline is this coming Sunday at 11:59pm.
Action items for students (to be completed before next lecture)
- Read sections 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 in the textbook.
- Solve the following problems (these will be part of the second homework, to be handed in later):
- Problems 30, 31, 32, 33 from Chapter 1 of "Introduction to Probability," by Dimitri P. Bertsekas and John N. Tsitsiklis. Athena Scientific, Belmont, Massachusetts, 2008, ISBN 978-1-886529-23-6.
