Study Notes
Probability
- Probability is a measure of uncertainty
- Sample Space: Set of all possible outcomes of an experiment
Events
- An event is a subset of a sample space of some experiment
- Simple Event: An event containing only one outcome
- Compound Event: An event containing more than one outcome
Event Operations
- Complement
- Intersection
- Mutually Exclusive Events: If event A and B cannot occur together
- Union
Venn Diagrams
- Used to visually represent the differences and similarities between two concepts
- Typically uses intersecting and non-intersecting circles
Axioms of Probability
- Axiom 1: For any event, P(A) ≥ 0
- Axiom 2: P(S) = 1, where S is the sample space
Determining Probability
- Classical Method: P(E) = Number of outcomes in the event / Total number of outcomes in the sample space
Independent Events
- Let's say we have two events A and B
- If the occurrence of A does not depend on the occurrence of B
Rules of Probability
- Complement Rule
- Addition and Multiplication Rule
Probability Problems
- Rolling a die: Find the probability that an even number is obtained
- Two coins are tossed: Find the probability that two heads are obtained
- Person selected at random: Find the probability that this person has O blood type
- Survey of students: Find the probability that a student selected likes Mathematics or Science, etc.
Exercise
- Students like Mathematics, Science, and English: Find the probability of various events
