Studying for a probability exam and here are two practice problems I can't seem to solve
1. Let P be the uniform distribution on a finite set Omega and let A be a subset of Omega. Prove that P(.|A) is the uniform distribution on A.
2. Let X and Y be random variables and let A be an event. Prove the function, Z(w) = X(w) if w is in A and Y(w) if w is not in A , is a random variable
thanks for any help getting me started
