   4.1 Objectives
   • Solve the general problems on linear algebra and probability knowledge.
   4.2 Problem Statement
   Given a two-dimensional array, where each row represents an instance (or object). For each row, the first 5
   columns are the attributes of the instance and the final column is the label of the instance such as
   a0, a1, a2, a3, a4, l
   As you’ve seen, all attributes can take two values 0 or 1.

   4-2 Lab 4: Linear Algebra and Probability
   Now you’re required to compute the following estimated probabilities: p(l = 0), p(l = 1), p(ai = 0|l =
   0), i = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and p(ai = 1|l = 0), i = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, p(ai = 0|l = 1), i = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and p(ai = 1|l = 1), i =
   0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
   4.3 Lab Report
   • Write a short report which should contain a concise explanation of your implementation, results and
   observations (see the coursework template).
   • Please insert the clipped running image into your report for each step with the mark.
   • Submit the report and the python source code electronically into ICE.
   • The report in pdf format and python source code of your implementation should be zipped into a single
   file. The naming of report is as follows:
   e.g. StudentID LastName FirstName LabNumber.zip (123456789 Einstein Albert 1.zip)
   Hints: 1) use the fraction of the given events in all instances to estimate the probabilities (N is the total
   number of the instances and # is the size of the set).

   p(l = 0) = #{l = 0}
   N
   (4.1)
   p(ai = 0|l = 0) = #{ai = 0, l = 0}

   {l = 0}

   (4.2)
   p(l = 1) = #{l = 1}
   N
   (4.3)
   p(ai = 0|l = 1) = #{ai = 0, l = 1}

   {l = 1}

   (4.4)
   2) read the data from the file.
   import csv
   csv_file = open(’binary_data.csv’)
   csv_reader = csv.reader(csv_file, delimiter=’,’)
   Marking scheme:
   • Read the text file and parse its content into a matrix. (20 scores)
   • Compute the prior probabilities p(l = 0) and p(l = 1) (20 scores)
   • Compute the conditional probabilities p(ai = 0|l = 0), i = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and p(ai = 1|l = 0), i = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,
   p(ai = 0|l = 1), i = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and p(ai = 1|l = 1), i = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 (60 scores)
