Study Notes

Bayes Theorem

It helps calculate conditional probability, which is the probability of an event happening given that another event has already occurred.

Machine Defects

Given equal capacity and operation rates, the machine with the highest rate of defective items cannot be determined from the provided information.
To determine the probability that a defective item was produced by machine Y, you need the following information:
- The probability of a defective item being produced by each machine (X, Y, and Z).
- The proportion of total defective items produced by each machine.

Probability Calculations

The probability of drawing a defective item produced by machine 1 is calculated by multiplying the probability that an item is defective by the probability that the item was produced by machine 1.
The expected value of petrol sales on Monday is calculated by summing the products of each possible sale amount and its corresponding probability.

Bayes Theorem Application

Bayes Theorem is used in manufacturing to update the probability of a product being defective based on new information, like the results of quality control inspections.

Machine C Defects

The percentage of defective bolts produced by machine C cannot be determined from the provided information.

Marginal Probability

It is the probability of a single event occurring, regardless of the outcome of other events.

Airline Selection

There are 10 distinct ways a person can select airlines for a round trip if they must travel both ways by the same airline, because they have 10 airlines to choose from for the first leg of the trip and then only 1 option for the return journey.

Joint Probability for Independent Events

It is calculated by multiplying the probabilities of each individual event.

Independent Events Probability

The joint probability of two independent events is calculated by multiplying the probabilities of each event. In this case, the probability of both events occurring is 0.6 * 0.5 = 0.3.

Solving a Problem

If the odds against X are 8 to 6, the probability of X solving the problem is 6/(8+6) = 0.375.
If the odds in favor of Y are 14 to 16, the probability of Y solving the problem is 14/(14+16) = 0.467.
The probability of neither X nor Y solving the problem is (1-0.375) * (1-0.467) = 0.328.

Equipment Failure Probability

The function failure probability is calculated as the product of the failure probabilities of components A, B, and C.

Probability of Achieving at least one objective

In probability terms, achieving at least one objective for independent events means the probability of the union of those events.

Manufacturing Quality

The manufacturing quality from the two plants cannot be determined without additional information.

Marketing Approach Event Classification

Based on the given probabilities, events related to a new marketing approach can be classified as independent, dependent, or mutually exclusive, depending on their relationship and impact on each other.

Coin Flip Probability

The probability of getting 4 heads and 2 tails when flipping a coin 6 times is calculated using combinations. The number of ways to get 4 heads out of 6 flips is 6C4 = 15. The total possible outcomes are 2^6 = 64. Therefore, the probability is 15/64.

Punch Board Prizes

The probability of getting two prizes in two punches from a punch board is calculated as follows: Probability of winning the first prize is 5/25. After winning the first prize, the probability of winning the second prize becomes 4/24. Multiplying these probabilities, we get (5/25) * (4/24) = 1/30.

Letter Arrangement

The number of ways the letters in the word 'PROBABILITY' can be arranged is 10!/(2! * 2! * 2!) = 453,600.

Rolling a Die

The probability of rolling a number greater than two on an ordinary die is 4/6 = 2/3.

Defective Pipe Probability

The probability that a randomly selected defective pipe came from the first plant can be determined by dividing the number of defective pipes from the first plant by the total number of defective pipes.

Independent Events: Rolling Dice

The events of rolling a 6 on the first die and a 1 on the second die are independent events because the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other event.

Card Drawing Probability

The probability of drawing a card that is neither a heart nor a king from a standard deck of 52 cards is 39/52 = 3/4.

Solving a Problem: At Least One Student

The probability of at least one of two students solving the problem can be calculated by subtracting the probability of neither student solving the problem from 1.

Probability Terms

P(A | Bi), i=1,2,…,n, is referred to as conditional probabilities.

Probability Types

Posterior Probability is determined after the results of an experiment are known, meaning it is the updated probability based on new information.

Independent Events Definition

Independent Events are events that do not affect each other. This means that the occurrence of one event does not influence the probability of the other event occurring.

Classical Probability Definition

Classical Probability is based on equally likely outcomes, where each outcome has the same probability.

Mutually Exclusive Events Characteristic

Mutually Exclusive Events cannot occur simultaneously. This means that if one event happens, the other event cannot happen at the same time.

Subjective Probability

Subjective Probability is a synonym for personal probability. It is based on personal beliefs or judgments and may vary from person to person.

Joint Probability Definition

It refers to the probability of two or more events occurring simultaneously.

Prior Probability Definition

Prior Probability refers to the probability of an event before any new information is considered.

Odd Numbered Ball Probability

The probability of drawing two odd-numbered balls from a bag containing 25 balls numbered 1 through 25, without replacement, is calculated as follows:
- The probability of drawing an odd-numbered ball on the first draw is 13/25.
- After removing one ball, the probability of drawing another odd-numbered ball on the second draw becomes 12/24.
- The joint probability of drawing two odd-numbered balls is (13/25) * (12/24) = 13/50.

Addition Theorem for Mutually Exclusive Events

The formula for the probability of event A or event B is P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B).

Drawing at Least One Success with Replacement

The probability of drawing at least one success when drawing two balls with replacement from a bag where an odd number is a success is calculated as 1 minus the probability of drawing no successes.
- The probability of drawing an even number (no success) is 12/25.
- The probability of drawing two even numbers is (12/25) * (12/25).
- Therefore, the probability of drawing at least one success is 1 - (12/25) * (12/25) = 481/625.

Drawing Exactly One Success

The probability of getting exactly one success when drawing two balls from a bag with 25 balls is calculated as follows:
- Probability of getting a success on the first draw and a failure on the second is (13/25) * (12/24) = 13/50.
- Probability of getting a failure on the first draw and a success on the second is (12/25) * (13/24) = 13/50.
- Therefore, the probability of getting exactly one success is (13/50) + (13/50) = 26/50 = 13/25.

Multiplication Theorem of Probability

The Multiplication Theorem of Probability states that the probability of two events occurring is equal to the product of the probabilities of the individual events, given that the events are independent.

Drawing Balls with Replacement

The probability of drawing three white balls followed by three red balls from a bag containing 5 white and 8 red balls with replacement is calculated as follows:
- The probability of drawing a white ball is 5/13.
- The probability of drawing a red ball is 8/13.
- Since the balls are replaced, each draw is independent.
- The probability of drawing three white balls followed by three red balls is (5/13) * (5/13) * (5/13) * (8/13) * (8/13) * (8/13) = 16,384/4,826,809.

Ticket Selection Probability

The probability that a randomly drawn ticket from 1 to 100 is greater than 75 is 25/100 = 1/4.

Square Number Probability

The probability of drawing a square number from tickets numbered from 1 to 100 is 10/100 = 1/10. There are 10 square numbers between 1 and 100 (1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100).
