PROBABILITY I
NOTES Probability of A occurring P(A) Sum of all possible outcomes = 1
SAMPLE SPACE the collection of all possible outcomes of a chance experiment Roll a die S={1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
RELATIVE FREQUENCY # Of Occurrences of Event #Trials Not rolling a even # EC={1, 3, 5}
THE LAW OF LARGE NUMBERS The long run relative frequency will approach the actual probability as the number of trails increases Coins? 2, 10, 20.
EVENT any collection of outcomes from the sample space Rolling a prime # E= {2, 3, 5}
COMPLEMENT Consists of all outcomes that are not in the event Not rolling a even # EC={1, 3, 5} P(A) = 1 – P(A)
MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE (DISJOINT ) two events have no outcomes in common Roll a “ 2” or a “ 5” Draw a Black card or a Diamond
NOT -MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE (NONDISJOINT) two events have outcomes in common Draw a Black card or a Spade
UNION — ISJOINT D the event A or B happening consists of all outcomes that are in at least one of the two events Draw a Black card or a Diamond
UNION — ISJOINT D Draw a Black card or a Diamond P(B U D) = P(B) + P(D)
INTERSECTION the event A and B happening consists of all outcomes that are in both events Draw a Black card and a 7
INTERSECTION U P(B S) = P(B) • P(S) Draw a Black card and a 7
UNION — OT DISJOINT N the event A or B happening BUT WE CAN’T Double Count! Draw a Black card or a 7 P(B or 7) = P(B) + P(7) – P(B and 7)

BASIC RULES OFPROBABILITY Rule 1. Legitimate Values For any event E, 0 < P(E) < 1 Rule 2. Sample space If S is the sample space, P(S) = 1
Rule 3. Complement For any event E, P(E) + P(not E) = 1 Or P(not E) = 1 – P(E)
Rule 4. Addition (A or B) If two events E & F are disjoint, P(E or F) = P(E) + P(F) (General) If two events E & F are not disjoint, P(E or F) = P(E) + P(F) – P(E & F)
Ex 1) A large auto center sells cars made by many different manufacturers. Three of these are Honda, Nissan, and Toyota. Suppose that P(H) =. 25, P(N) =. 18, P(T) =. 14. Are these disjoint events? P(H or N or T) = yes . 25 +. 18+. 14 =. 57 P(not (H or N or T) = 1 -. 57 =. 43
INDEPENDENT Two events are independent if knowing that one will occur (or has occurred) does not change the probability that the other occurs Flip a Coin and Get Heads. Flip a coin again. P(T) Independent Draw a 7 from a deck. Draw another card. P(8) Not independent
Rule 5. Multiplication If two events A & B are independent, General rule:
The probability that a student will receive a state grant is 1/3, while the probability she will be awarded a federal grant is ½. If whether or not she receives one grant is not influenced by whether or not she receives the other, what is the probability of her receiving both grants?
Suppose a reputed psychic in an extrasensory perception (ESP) experiment has called heads or tails correctly on TEN successive coin flips. What is the probability that her guessing would have yielded this perfect score?
Tree Diagrams Consider flipping a coin twice. What is the probability of getting two heads? Sample Space: HH HT TH TT
Tree Diagrams Getting Tails Twice
Example: Teens with Online Profiles The Pew Internet and American Life Project finds that 93% of teenagers (ages 12 to 17) use the Internet, and that 55% of online teens have posted a profile on a social-networking site. What percent of teens are online and have posted a profile? 51. 15% of teens are online and have posted a profile.
Ex. 3) A certain brand of cookies are stale 5% of the time. You randomly pick a package of two such cookies off the shelf of a store. What is the probability that both cookies are stale? Can you assume they are independent?
Ex 5) Suppose I will pick two cards from a standard deck without replacement. What is the probability that I select two spades? Are the cards independent? NO P(A & B) = P(A) · P(B|A) Read “probability of B given that A occurs” P(Spade & Spade) = 1/4 · 12/51 = 1/17 The probability of getting a spade given that a spade has already been drawn.
Ex. 6) A certain brand of cookies are stale 5% of the time. You randomly pick a package of two such cookies off the shelf of a store. What is the probability that exactly one cookie is stale? P(exactly one) = P(S & SC) or P(SC & S) = (. 05)(. 95) + (. 95)(. 05) =. 095
Ex. 7) A certain brand of cookies are stale 5% of the time. You randomly pick a package of two such cookies off the shelf of a store. What is the probability that at least one cookie is stale? P(at least one) = P(S & SC) or P(SC & S) or (S & S) = (. 05)(. 95) + (. 95)(. 05) + (. 05) =. 0975
Rule 6. At least one The probability that at least one outcome happens is 1 minus the probability that no outcomes happen. P(at least 1) = 1 – P(none)
Ex. 7 revisited) A certain brand of cookies are stale 5% of the time. You randomly pick a package of two such cookies off the shelf of a store. What is the probability that at least cookie is stale? P(at least one) = 1 – P(SC & SC). 0975
Ex 8) For a sales promotion the manufacturer places winning symbols under the caps of 10% of all Dr. Pepper bottles. You buy a sixpack. What is the probability that you win something? P(at least one winning symbol) = 1 – P(no winning symbols) 1 -. 96 =. 4686
