Question 1

Let A1, A2,...,An be a sequence of increasing events of a sample space. That is, Ai is a subset of Ai+1 i 1. Let B1=A1 and Bi = Ai - Ai-1. Note that Ui=1 to Ai = Ui=1 to Bi

a. Use the events B1, B2, ... to prove that limn  P(An) = P(limn  An)
b. Suppose an experiment consists of selecting a random point from the interval (1,2). Use past (a) and Demorgan's Laws to find the probability of choosing 1.657555... from the interval (1,2).
c. In a series of games, the winning number of the nth game n = 1, 2, 3... is a number selected at random from the set of integers (1, 2, ..., n+2). Jim bets on 1 in each game and says he will quit as soon as he wins. Use part (a) to find the probability that he has to play indefinitely.

Terms and Definitions for Statistics

This quiz covers basic terms and definitions of statistics.

Measures of Central Tendency

This quiz evaluates the students understanding of the measures of central tendency seen in statistics. This quiz is specifically designed to incorporate the measures of central tendency as they relate to psychological research.

Know Your Statistical Concepts

Each question is a choice-summary multiple choice question that presents you with a statistical concept and then 4 numbered statements. You must decide which (if any) of the numbered statements is/are true as they relate to the statistical concept.

Measures of Central Tendency

Tests knowledge of the three main measures of central tendency, including some simple calculation questions.
