Stat 515 - Spring 2001 -
Correctons to the Text
Page 123.
The conditional probabilities in the middle of the page should
be: P(B|A)=.05/.25=.20 and P(BC|A)=.20/.25=.80. The paragraph
that follows is then correct .80 is to .20 as .2 is to .05, both are 4 to
1.
Page 169.
In example 4.9 there is an error for p(0) and p(4). p(0)=1(1)(.9)4
and p(4)=1(.1)4(1) because .10 and .90 should
both be equal to 1. The rest of those lines are correct.
Please e-mail me with any other
suspected errors.
