1 Sampling from discrete distributions

2 Sampling from continuous distributions Continuous random variables are (informally) those whose sample space is composed of real intervals not exclusively containing integers. In a continuous distribution the prob-ability of taking on any particular value in the sample space in 0; probabilities can only be

3. Conditional probability & independence Conditional Probabilities • Question: How should we modify P(E) if we learn that event F has occurred? • Derivation: Suppose we repeat the experiment n times. Let n(E ∩ F) be the number of times that both E and F occur, and n(F) the number of times F occurs. • The proportion of times E occurs only counting trials where F occurs is
