The document presents calculations related to standard deviation and coefficient of variation, indicating that starting teachers' salaries in Asia are more variable. It also includes exercises on classical probability involving the outcomes of rolling two dice, detailing sample spaces and specific events such as sums greater than 8 and occurrences of the number 2. Various events are defined and their intersections are analyzed.

Since the coefficient of variation for the data from Asia is higher, hence starting teachers’
salaries in Asia is more variable.

Classical Probability, Counting Techniques, Conditional Probability


Part I
1. An experiment involves tossing a pair of dice, one green and one red, and recording the
numbers that come up. If x equals the outcome on the green die and y the outcome on
the red die, describe the sample space S
(a) by listing the elements (x, y);
S = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 1),
(3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 1), (5, 2),
(5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}.
(b) by using the rule method.
S = {(x, y) | 1 ≤ x, y ≤ 6, x, y ϵ ℕ}.
2. For the sample space of Exercise 1,
(a) list the elements corresponding to the event A that the sum is greater than 8;
A = {(3, 6), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}.
(b) list the elements corresponding to the event B that a 2 occurs on either die;
B = {(1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 2), (4, 2), (5, 2), (6, 2), (2, 1), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)}.
(c) list the elements corresponding to the event C that a number greater than 4 comes
up on the green die;
C = {(5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}.
(d) list the elements corresponding to the event A∩C;
A ∩ C = {(5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}.
(e) list the elements corresponding to the event A∩B;
A ∩ B = φ.
(f) list the elements corresponding to the event B ∩C;
B ∩ C = {(5, 2), (6, 2)}.
