Probability of A occurring P(A) Sum of all possible outcomes = 1 the collection of all possible outcomes of a chance experiment Roll a die S={1,2,3,4,5,6} # OF OCCURRENCES OF EVENT #TRIALS Not rolling a even # EC={1,3,5} The long run relative frequency will approach the actual probability as the number of trails increases Coins? 2, 10, 20. any collection of outcomes from the sample space Rolling a prime # E= {2,3,5} Consists of all outcomes that are not in the event Not rolling a even # EC={1,3,5} P(A) = 1 – P(A) two events have no outcomes in common Roll a “2” or a “5” Draw a Black card or a Diamond two events have outcomes in common Draw a Black card or a Spade 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 E AB Draw a Black card or a Diamond P(B U D) = P(B) + P(D) the event A and B happening consists of all outcomes that are in both events Draw a Black card and a 7 E AB U P(B S) = P(B)•P(S) Draw a Black card and a 7 E AB the event A or B happening BUT WE CAN’T Double Count!

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 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, P(A & B) P(A) P(B) General rule: P(A & B) P(A) P(B | A) 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? P(online) = 0.93 P(profile | online) = 0.55 P(online and have profile) = P(online)× P(profile | online) = (0.93)(0.55) = 0.5115 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? P(D & D) .05 .05 .0025 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)(.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 WARM UPAllergies Allergies Female 10 Male Total 8 18 No Allergies 13 9 22 Total 23 17 40 1.

This can be expressed as P(call results in reservation) = 0.31. Assume each call is independent of other calls. Describe what the Law of Large Numbers says in the context of this probability. An airline estimates that the probability that a random call to their reservation phone line result in a reservation being made is 0.31. This can be expressed as P(call results in reservation) = 0.31. Assume each call is independent of other calls. What is the probability that none of the next four calls results in a reservation? An airline estimates that the probability that a random call to their reservation phone line result in a reservation being made is 0.31. This can be expressed as P(call results in reservation) = 0.31. Assume each call is independent of other calls. You want to estimate the probability that exactly one of the next four calls result in a reservation being made. Describe the design of a simulation to estimate this probability. Explain clearly how you will use the partial table of random digits below to carry out five simulations. 188 87370 88099 89695 87633 76987 85503 26257 51736 189 88296 95670 74932 65317 93848 43988 47597 83044 190 79485 92200 99401 54473 190 34336 82786 05457 60343 191 40830 24979 23333 37619 56227 95941 59494 86539 192 32006 76302 81221 00693 95197 75044 46596 11628
