(4)
The event N is such that
P(N)=151P(H∩N)=P(N)
(b) Find P(N′∣H)

用加法公式,并利用 independent 得 P(H∩W)=P(H)P(W)。
答题过程

P(H∪W)=P(H)+P(W)−P(H∩W).
Since H and W are independent,
P(H∩W)=P(H)P(W)=83P(W).
Therefore
43=83=P(W)=83+P(W)−83P(W)85P(W)53.
(b)

P(H∩N)=P(N) 表示 N 完全在 H 内。因此 P(N′∩H)=P(H)−P(N)。

P(N′∣H)====P(H)P(N′∩H)P(H)P(H)−P(N)8383−1514537.

先求 H∩W=83⋅53=409。又因为 N 在 H 内且 W 与 N 互斥,所以 N 放在 H 中但不与 W 重叠。

We have
P(H∩W)=83⋅53=409.
Since P(H∩N)=P(N),
N⊂H.
Also,
P(N)=151.
The H only region is
83−409−151=121.
The W only region is
53−409=83.
The outside region is
1=−(121+151+409+83)41.
So the regions are
H only=121,N=151,H∩W=409,W only=83,outside=41,
with W∩N=0.
