5. Let P be a probability measure and A, B two events. Show that |P(An
B) – P(A)P(B)| < 1.
Hint: Show that the two inequalities
P(AN B) – P(A)P(B) <
and
P(A)P(B) – P(An B) <
are true. To show the first of these inequalities, use the fact that the
function f(p) = p(1 – p), for p e [0, 1], assumes its Maximum 1/4 at
the point p = 1/2, so f(p) = 1/4 and f(p) < 1/4 for all p € [0, 1]. To
show the second of these inequalities, use the first inequality with Be
instead of B.
An investment company advertised that last year its clients, on average, made a profit of
7%
. Assuming that average refers to the mean, which of the following claims must be true based on this information?
Note: More than one statement could be true. If none of the statements is true, mark the appropriate box.
Last year fewer than half of their clients made a profit of
7%
or less.
Last year at least one of their clients made a profit of
7%
or more.
Last year at least one of their clients made a profit of exactly
7%
.
Last year some of their clients made a profit of more than
3%
.
This year some of their clients will make a profit of at least
7%
.
None of the above statements are true.
