... Fundamental Principle of Counting If one event can happen in “x” ways and another event can happen in “y” ways, then the 2 events can happen together in x•y ways. When more than one thing happens at once, multiply to find the total possible outcomes. EXAMPLE: If you roll two dice, how many ways ...

... A racing car valued at $200 000 has the probability of being a total loss estimated at 0.002, a 50% loss with probability 0.01, and a 25% loss with probability 0.1. What should the insurance company charge if it wants to make an average profit of $1 000 per car that it insures? Let X be a random var ...

... 2. Probability is empirical - have to observe it Probability Rules: 1) 0 ≤ P(x) ≤ 1 2) P(S) = 1 Definitions: outcome – a result that occurs (“head”, “4 and 2”) sample space – a set of all possible outcomes (“flip a coin - H, T”, “roll a die – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6”) event – a particular set of outcomes ( ...

... For a fixed p, as the number of trials n in a binomial experiment increases, the probability distribution of the random variable X becomes more nearly symmetric and bell shaped. As a rule of thumb, if np(1-p) > 10, the probability distribution will be approximately symmetric and bell shaped. ...
