P(X|Y) = conditional probability that event X occurs given that event Y occurs
P(Y|X) = conditional probability that event Y occurs given that event X occurs
P(X) = unconditional probability that event X occurs
P(Y|) = conditional probability that event Y occurs given that event X does not occur
P() = unconditional probability that event X does not occur
(ii)
P(Y) = P(YX) + P(Y)
P(Y) = P(Y|X)P(X) + P(Y|)P()
(iii)
P(Y|) = P(Y|X)
conditional probability that event Y occurs given that event X does not occur
= conditional probability that event Y occurs given that event X occurs
Now ; P(Y|) = P(Y|X)
i.e ; X and Y are independent events

Problem 4 Suppose 100 hypertensive people are given an antihypertensive drug and the drug is effective in 20 of them. By effective, we mean their DBP is lowered by at least 10 mm Hg as judged from a repeat blood-pressure measurement 1 month after taking the drug by 10 mm Hg after 1 month. 1. What is the best point estimate of the probability p of the drug being effective? 2. Suppose we know that 10% of all hypertensive patients...

Players A and B each roll a fair 6-sided die. The player with the higher score wins ¤1 from the other player. If both players have equal scores, the game is a draw and no one wins anything. i. Let X denote the winnings of player A from one round of this game. State the probability mass function of X. Calculate the expectation E(X) and variance Var(X). ii. What is the conditional probability that player A rolls , given that...
