CLO-01: Develop a probabilistic model, including sample space, event space and a probability
measure, of a given situation of uncertainty with statistical regularity.
For each of the following experiments, Ek , if the data given is sufficient, write: [Marks 7x6]
(1) whether the experiment is Deterministic or Random,
(2) what is the terminating condition of the experiment,
(3) a typical outcome/sample point of the experiment,
(4) the nature of the sample space, whether it is finite (discrete), countably infinite (discrete) or
uncountable (or uncountably infinite, i.e., continuous)
(5) the sample space in mathematically correct notation.
(6) whether the elementary events are equally likely or not.
(7) the probabilities of elementary events (or a few of them if unequal and also given reason of
your assignment).
E1 : Draw two cards from a deck of 52 distinct cards with replacement after the first draw. With
replacement means the first card is drawn, noted, and put back in the deck of cards and the second
card is drawn again at random.

E2 : An urn contains three electronically labeled balls with labels 00, 01 and 10. Note that the balls
are identical in look and feel in all senses for a human. The electronic label can only be read through
an electronic label reader. Lisa is asked to characterize the random experiment that involves
selecting a ball at random from the urn and reading its label. Lisa's label reader works fine.
Note: measuring method needs to be included within the experiment. Electronically labeled balls
cannot be told apart by looking at them.

E3 : For the same urn experiment E2 above, Homer is asked to characterize the random experiment
that involves selecting a ball at random the urn and reading its label. Homer's label reader has the
most significant digit stuck at 1.
PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION:
Random; reading the value displayed on label reader; 11; finite; S={10,11} ; not equally likely

because of the error in label reader; P [ { 10 } ] = , P [ {11 } ] = , it reads both 00 and 10 as 10, i.e., two-

third of the time, and 01 as 11.

E 4: An experiment consists of rolling a die and picking a ball from an urn with three identical balls
colored red, yellow and green until you get a yellow ball. (Note that the ball is replaced in the urn
once the color is noted).

E6 : An experiment consists of rolling n (six-sided) dice ONCE and recording the sum of n dice.
Assignment Problem 2
A random experiment consists of rolling a die twice and noting the number of dots on the side facing
up on each die. [Marks 5+3]
i. Write a collection of events based on the sum of the result of two rolls.
