(choose chapter or problem)

Given an nonuniform sample space and the probabilities associated with the points, we defined the probability of an event A as the sum of the probabilities associated with the sample points favorable to A. [You used this definition in with the sample space (2.5).] Show that this definition is consistent with the definition by equally likely cases if there is also a uniform sample space for the problem (as there was in 15). Hint: Let the uniform sample space have N points each with the probability N1. Let the nonuniform sample space have n
