    Study Notes

    Probability and Events

    • The universal set is ε = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15}
    • Event A = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15}
    • Event B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14}
    • A Venn diagram can be used to represent sets visually.
    • The sample space for spinning a spinner numbered 1 to 4 twice is represented by a table with the possible outcomes.
    • To find the probability of an event, divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes.
    • A tree diagram can be used to represent probabilities and outcomes.
    • The probability of two events happening is calculated by multiplying their individual probabilities.
    • A two-way table can be used to display data for two events.
    • Independent events are events where one event's outcome does not affect the outcome of the other event.
    • To prove events are independent, show that Pr(A|B) = Pr(A).
    • A Venn diagram can be used to represent the relationships between three or more events.
    • The probability of an event can be calculated using the formula: Pr(A) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes.
    • The probability of two events happening together can be calculated using the formula: Pr(A and B) = Pr(A) x Pr(B|A).
    • The probability of one event happening given that another event has already happened can be calculated using the formula: Pr(A|B) = Pr(A and B) / Pr(B).
    • The events of eating Italian and eating Asian are not independent because the probability of eating Italian is not the same for students who eat Asian as it is for students who do not eat Asian.
