Let {?1,?2} be two error events and we are interested in
P(?1∪?2), the probability of the union of two events. Explain what
the union (upper) bound is and state when t he equality of this
upper bound holds.
Boole’s inequality is used to find the upper bound of union of events:
If
are n events then the upper bound of union of events is the sum of
the probabilities of n events:

Given Information:
are
two given error events.
The upper bound of union of two given error events is calculated using Boole’s inequality and is given by:

Hence, the upper bound of union of
two given error events is
.
If the two given error events are mutually exclusive then
.
Using the addition rule of probability:

The equality of this upper bound holds when the two given error events are mutually exclusive.

1. If two events are independent how do we calculate the and probability, P(E and F), of the two events? (As a side note: this "and" probability, P(E and F), is called the joint probability of Events E and F. Likewise, the probability of an individual event, like P(E), is called the marginal probability of Event E.) 2. One way to interpret conditional probability is that the sample space for the conditional probability is the "conditioning" event. If Event A...

Suppose that we have two events E and F such that their union is the entire sample space and P(E)=1/3 and P(F)=2/3. Are they independent? Explain.
1) Let A, B and C be three events with P(A) = 94%, P(B) = 11%, and P(C) = 4%. Answer the following questions if B and C are disjoint and P(ANC) = 3%, and P(ANB) = 8%. a.

Let X and Y be two independent and identically distributed random variables with expected value 1 and variance 2.56. First, find a non-trivial upper bound for P(|X + Y − 2| ≥ 1). Now suppose that X and Y are independent and identically distributed N(1,2.56) random variables. What is P(|X + Y − 2| ≥ 1) exactly? Why is the upper bound first obtained so different from the exact probability obtained?
