Study Notes
Probability and Counting
- Probability is calculated as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total possible outcomes.
- Probability of an event (P(event)) ranges from 0 to 1 inclusively.
- Probability 0 means an event will never occur.
- Probability 1 means an event is certain to occur.
Empirical Probability
- Empirical probability is based on observed data from experiments.
Theoretical Probability
- Theoretical probability is derived from knowledge of the situation, not experimentation.
Counting Methods
- Curly brackets {} are used to enclose the outcomes of events.
- Outcomes of tossing a die are {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
- Outcomes of flipping a coin are {H, T}.
Probability Tree Diagrams
- Probability tree diagrams help visualize and determine the possible outcomes of an experiment.
- The process starts with a dot, creating branches for each outcome of the experiment.
- The diagram shows the total number of possible outcomes.
Fundamental Counting Principle
- Calculate the total number of outcomes in independent events by multiplying the possibilities of each event.
- This method is useful for situations with numerous outcomes that make listing all outcomes very difficult.
Mutually Exclusive Events
- Mutually exclusive events cannot occur simultaneously.
- Addition law for mutually exclusive events simplifies to: P(event A or event B) = P(event A) + P(event B).
Not Mutually Exclusive Events
- Not mutually exclusive events can occur simultaneously.
- General addition law for calculating the probability of either or both of two events is P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B).
Complementary Events
- The probability of an event plus the probability of its complement equals 1.
- Calculating the complement can sometimes be easier than directly calculating the event's probability.
- Probability formula: P(event) = 1 - P(not event)
Expected Value
- Expected value is the long-run average value of an experiment if repeated many times.
- It's calculated by multiplying each possible outcome's value by its probability, then summing these values.
