Introduction to Probability and Statistics
                                     4th Week (3/29)



               1. Bayer’s Theorem
             2. Random Variables
        3. Probability Distributions
4. Mathematical Expectations (intro)
What would you do…..

IF a medical test (tumor marker) inform you that you
got an incurable disease (i.e. Pancreases Cancer)

1.Cry
2.Use your remaining time for some important thing
3.Invent a new iphone
Baye’s Theorem: Definition
Baye’s Theorem: Proof
Baye’s Theorem: When do we need?


• Why do we care??
• Why is Bayes’ Rule useful??
• It turns out that sometimes it is very useful to be able to
  “flip” conditional probabilities. That is, we may know the
  probability of A given B, but the probability of B given A
  may not be obvious.
Baye’s Theorem: Example
Random Variables
Las Vegas



       777(Jack Pot) => 1 million dollars (1)
       Others: Bam => 0 dollars (0)




            How often do you get “1”?




         How much do you put money to get
         1 million dollars?

Joint Distribution: An Example


X: Get A+ for P&S

Y: Get a great boy/girl friend
                                             X

                                        A+       Others
  - Dependent?
  - Independent?
                         Get a friend

                     Y

                          No friend

Probability Function
Marginal Distribution Function




We call them the marginal distribution functions, or simply the distribution
functions, of X and Y, respectively.
