standard_description: Develop a probability distribution for a random variable defined for a sample space in which probabilities are assigned empirically; find the expected value. For example, find a current data distribution on the number of TV sets per household in the United States, and calculate the expected number of sets per household. How many TV sets would you expect to find in 100 randomly selected households?
problem_activity: Problem 1
You are in a diner and want to know if choosing cream or sugar are independent events, that is, if one depends on the other. Below is a Venn diagram that represents the number of people in the diner one morning. A random person is chosen.

Problem 2
A coin is tossed and a single six-sided die is rolled. If landing on heads is represented by
$$H$$
and rolling a
$$3$$
is represented by
$$R$$
, determine if the following is true:
$$P(H \space and \space 3)=P(H)\cdot P(3)$$


aligns: no
