Midterm 1 Study Guide

For the first midterm, the most common subjects are: bayesian analysis, probability theory (integrals, verifications of density, applications), and matrix algebra. All at the level we’ve been discussing so far for the past 5 weeks.

We’ve added sample problems below. You guys are going to do great!

Sample Problem 1

  1. Bob likes to have bagels each morning. This time around, she has to pick between a chili bagel or a sweet one. Is it fair to say that

    \[\mathbb{P}(\text{chili}) + \mathbb{P}(\text{sweet}) = 1\]

    and if it is, why is that?
