Trick about order mattering • When doing probabilities the order mattering question ultimately goes away. • As long as you are consistent between what you do with the outcome space and the sample space it won’t matter if you make the wrong decision about order mattering. • In other words as long as ...

... Three coins are tossed, the sample space u S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}. Assume unbiased coins, so any one of these eight outcomes have equal chance of, say, u P(HHT) = P(H)P(H)P(T) = (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2) = 1/8. Let E1 = {HHH, TTT}, and E2 = {the other 6 outcomes}. u P{E1} = 1/8 + 1/8 = ...

The probability of two events, A and B, are said to be independent
... And a non-mutually exclusive event is: A | B. Now P(A) +P(B) is the sum of all the probabilities in "A" plus the sum of all the probabilities in "B". Therefore, we have assess the probabilities in A | B twice. Since these probabilities add up to give P(A | B), we must subtract this probability once ...
