Session Unit 2:
9. Probability Concepts
LOS 9.f: Calculate and interpret 1) the JP of two events, 2) the p that at least one of two
events will occur, given the p of each and the JP of the two events, and 3) a JP of any
number of independent events, p. 178
Using empirical probabilities, suppose we observe that the DJIA has closed higher on two-
thirds of all days in the past few decades. Furthermore, it has been determined that up
and down days are independent. Based on this information, compute the p of the DJIA
closing higher for five consecutive days.
