Additional Clarifications/Hints for Assignment 1:

Bonus Question Correction:
The identity should be
⁠
⁠
.
Hints:
Q1: You may use Venn diagrams to aid your thought process, but when proving results, please use set identities, set operations, properties of probability functions etc.
For Q1(a)(ii), De Morgan’s laws and the important set identities will help.
Q2: Hint for Straight Flush: The lowest straight flush is A,2,3,4,5(same suit), and the highest is 10,J,Q,K,A (same suit). Q, K, A, 2 ,3 does not count as a straight flush.
Hint for Full House: A full house consists of 3 cards of the same value and 2 cards of another same value, for example, K,K,K,2,2 is a full house.
Bonus Question:
Part(a) and (b) are independent, you do not need part(a) to do part(b).
Part (b), needs the idea of the law of total probability. The key is to find a clever partition of the sample space for which the conditional probability can be obtained easily. The whole question of Q5 is a hint for solving the bonus. Suppose A and B both flip 2 coins, and they both have 1 head. Now A has an additional coin, what is the probability that A will have more heads than B?
