Assignment 2 (M365)

Problem 1. Prove that function f(x) = 3x : R → R is continuous, using the definition from the lectures.
Problem 2. For the function

on the closed segment [0, 1], calculate the upper and lower Riemann sums U(P, f), L(P, f) for an arbitrary partition P. Does the Riemann integral exist?

Problem 3. Let N be the collection of all null sets in R and let L be the collection of all full sets, i.e. those sets A for which Ac ∈ N . Consider their union F = N ∪ L. Is F a σ-field? Justify your answer.

Problem 4. Consider a family having two children and the following two scenarios.

(i) One day, you telephone the father and ask: “Is there at least one boy among your children?” He answers: “Yes”. Describe the probability space and calculate the probability that the both children are boys.

(ii) One day you meet the happy father walking with (one) boy in the street. “This is my son”, he says to you. Describe the probability space and calculate the probability that the both children are boys.

Remark: you can accept that any one new born child is a boy or a girl equiprobably and independently of anything else; similarly, the father has equal chances (independent of anything else) to take any one (and only one) of his children for a walk.
