Probability and Counting Rules
Section 4-1
Sample Spaces and
Probability
Learning Target
• Determine sample spaces and find the
probability of an event using classical
probability or empirical probability.
Basic Concepts
• Probability Experiment – a chance process that
leads to well-defined results called outcomes
• Outcome – the result of a single trial of a
probability experiment
• Sample Space – the set of all possible outcomes
of a probability experiment
– Examples: tossing a coin (head, tail), roll a die
(1,2,3,4,5,6), Answer a true/false question (true, false)

Cards in a Regular Deck of Cards
• 4 suits – spades, diamonds, hearts, clubs
• 13 of each suit
• There are 3 face cards in each suit – jack
queen, king
• 52 cards total
Gender of Children
• Find the sample space for the gender of the
children if a family has three children.
• How can this be done?

More Vocab
• Event – consists of a set of outcomes of a
probability experiment
• Simple Event – an event with one outcome
• Compound Event – event with more than one
outcome
– Example: the event of rolling an odd number on a
die
Classical Probability
• Uses sample spaces to determine the
numerical probability that an event will
happen
• Assumes that all outcomes are equally likely to
occur
• Formula – number of outcomes in E divided by
the total number of outcomes in the sample
space, 𝑃 𝐸 =
𝑛(𝐸)
𝑛(𝑆)
• Probabilities can be expressed as fractions,
decimals, or percents. Most problems will be
expressed as fractions or decimals. If the
problems starts in fractions the answer should
be a fraction. If the problem starts as a
decimal the answer should be a decimal.
• Fractions should always be reduced and
decimals rounded to two or three decimal
places.
Practice Problems
• A card is drawn at random from an ordinary deck
of cards. Find these probabilities.

4 Probability Rules
1. The probability of any event E is a number
(either a fraction or decimal) between and
including 0 and 1. This is denoted by 0 ≤
𝑃(𝐸) ≤ 1.
2. If an event E cannot occur (i.e., the event
contains no members in the sample space), its
probability is 0.
3. If an event E is certain, its probability is 1.
4. The sum of the probabilities of all the outcomes
in the sample space is 1.
Complementary Events
• The complement of an event E is the set of all
outcomes in the sample space that are not
included in the outcomes of event E. The
complement of E is denoted by E (read “E
bar”)
• Example: The event E of getting an odd
number is 1,3,5. The complement of E is
getting an even number (2,4,6).
Practice Problems
• Find the complement of each event.
– Rolling a die and getting a 4
– Selecting a letter of the alphabet and getting a
vowel
– Selecting a month and getting a month that begins
with a J
– Selecting a day of the week and getting a weekday
Solutions
• Getting a 1,2,3,5,6
• Getting a consonant (assume y is a consonant)
• Getting February, March, April, May, August,
September, October, November, or December
• Getting Saturday or Sunday
Rule for Complementary Events
• 𝑃 𝐸 = 1 − 𝑃(𝐸) or 𝑃 𝐸 = 1 − 𝑃(𝐸) or
𝑃 𝐸 +𝑃 𝐸 =1
Empirical Probability
• Relies on actual experience to determine the
likelihood of outcomes
• Given a frequency distribution, the probability
of an event being in a given class is
𝑃 𝐸 =
𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑦 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠
𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛

Practice Problems
• In a sample of 50 people, 21 had type O
blood, 22 had type A blood, 5 had type B
blood, and 2 had type AB blood. Set up a
frequency distribution and find the following
probabilities.
– A person has type O blood
– A person has type A or type B blood
– A person has neither type A nor type O blood
– A person does not have type AB blood

The Addition Rules
for Probability
Learning Target
• IWBAT find the probability of compound
events, using the addition rules.
Mutually Exclusive
• Two events are mutually exclusive if they
cannot happen at the same time.
• In other words they have no outcomes in
common.
• Example: getting a 4 and a 6 are mutually
exclusive.
Which ones are mutually exclusive?
a. Getting an odd number and getting an even
number
b. Getting a 3 and getting an odd number
c. Getting a 7 and a jack
d. Getting a club and getting a king
Addition Rule #1
• When two events are mutually
exclusive, the probability that
A or B will occur is
𝑃 𝐴 𝑜𝑟 𝐵 = 𝑃 𝐴 + 𝑃(𝐵)
Practice Problems
• A box contains 3 glazed doughnuts, 4 jelly
doughnuts, and 5 chocolate doughnuts. If a
person selects a doughnut at random, find the
probability that either is a glazed or chocolate
doughnut.
• At a political rally, there are 20 republicans, 13
democrats, and 6 independents. If a person is
selected at random, find the probability that he
or she is either a democrat or an independent.

The Multiplication Rules and
Conditional Probability
Learning Target
• IWBAT find the probability of compound
events, using the multiplication rule.
Multiplication Rules
• The multiplication rules are used to find the
probability of events that happen in
sequence.
• For example, when you toss a coin and roll a
die, you can find the probability of flipping a
head and rolling a 4.
• The events are independent since the
outcome of the first event does not effect the
second.
Rule #1
• When two events are
independent, the probability of
both occurring is
𝑃 𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵 = 𝑃 𝐴 ∙ 𝑃(𝐵)
Examples
• A coin is flipped and a die is rolled. Find the
probability of getting a head on the coin and a
4 on the die.
• A card is drawn from a deck and replaced;
then a second card is drawn. Find the
probability of getting a queen then an ace.
More Examples
• An urn contains 3 red marbles, 2 blue marbles,
and 5 white marbles. A marble is selected and
its color noted. Then it is replaced. A second
ball is selected and its color noted. Find the
probability of each of these.
– Selecting 2 blue marbles
– Selecting 1 blue marble then 1 white marble
– Selecting 1 red marble then 1 white marble

The multiplication rule can be
extended to three or more events by
using the formula…
𝑃 𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐶 𝑎𝑛𝑑 … 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐾
= 𝑃 𝐴 ∙ 𝑃 𝐵 ∙ 𝑃 𝐶 ∙ ⋯ ∙ 𝑃(𝐾)
Dependent Events
When the outcome or occurrence of the first
event effects the outcome or the occurrence of
the second event in such a way that a
probability is changed, the events are said to be
dependent.
When situations involve not replacing the item
that was selected first, the events are
dependent.
Conditional Probability
• The conditional probability of an event B in
relationship to an event A is the probability
that event B occurs after event A has already
occurred.
Rule #2
• When two events are dependent, the
probability of both occurring is
𝑃 𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵 = 𝑃(𝐴) ∙ 𝑃(𝐵 𝐴)
Means that B happens
given that A happened first.
(Conditional Probability)
Examples
• Three cards are drawn from an ordinary deck
and not replaced. Find the probability of these
events.
– Getting 3 jacks
– Getting an ace, a king, and a queen in order
– Getting a club, a spade, and a heart in order
– Getting 3 clubs

Finding Conditional Probability
The probability that the second event B occurs
given that the first event A has occurred can be
found by dividing the probability that both
events occurred by the probability that the first
event has occurred. The formula is
𝑃(𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵)
𝑃 𝐵𝐴 =
𝑃(𝐴)
Example
• A box contains black chips and white chips. A
person selects 2 chips without replacement. If
the probability of selecting a black chip and a
15
white chip is , and the probability of
56
3
is
8
selecting a black chip on the first draw
,
find the probability of selecting the white chip

selected was a black chip.

• Find the probability
– The respondent answered yes, given that the respondent

Solutions
• Before you start, determine a variable to
represent each outcome.
Let
M=respondent was male
F=respondent was female
Y=respondent answered yes
N=respondent answered no
a. Respondent answered yes given that
the respondent was female.
The problem is to find P(Y F). The rule states

Probabilities for “at least”
• The multiplication rule can be used along with
the complement rule to simplify problems
involving “at least”.
Example #1
• A game is played by drawing 4 cards from an ordinary
deck and replacing each card after it is drawn. Find
the probability that at least one ace is drawn.
• Solution: Since the outcome is looking for 1 ace, 2
aces, 3 aces, or 4 aces, it would be easier to find the
probability that 0 aces have been drawn and then
subtracting from 1.

Counting Rules
Learning Target
• IWBAT find the total number of outcomes in a
sequence of events, using the fundamental
counting rule.
• IWBAT find the number of ways that r objects
can be selected from n objects, using the
permutation rule.
• IWBAT find the number of ways that r objects
can be selected from n objects without regard
to order, using the combination rule.
The Fundamental Counting Rule
• In a sequence of n events in which the first
one has 𝑘1 possibilities and the second event
has 𝑘2 possibilities and the third has 𝑘3 and so
forth, the total number of possibilities in the
sequence will be 𝑘1 ∙ 𝑘2 ∙ 𝑘3 ⋯ 𝑘𝑛
• These problems will include repetitions and
no repetitions.
Example
• A paint manufacturer wishes to manufacture
several different paints. The categories include
Color
Red, blue, white, black, green, brown, yellow
Type
Latex, oil
Texture
Flat, semigloss, high gloss
Use
Outdoor, indoor
• How many different kinds of paint can be
made if you can select one color, one type,
one texture, and one use?
• Solution: 7 × 2 × 3 × 2 = 84
Factorial Notation
• For any counting n
𝑛! = 𝑛(𝑛 − 1)(𝑛 − 2) ⋯ 1
0! = 1
Example:
5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120
10! = 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 3628800
Note: You can find the factorial key under math
PRB
4
Permutation
• A permutation is an arrangement of n objects
in a specific order.
• The arrangement of n objects in a specific
order using r objects is called a permutation of
n objects taking r objects at a time. It is
𝑛!
written as 𝑛𝑃𝑟 and the formula is 𝑛𝑃𝑟 =
(𝑛−𝑟)!
Example
• A television news director wants to use 3 news
stories on an evening show. One story will be the
lead story, one will be the second story and the
last will be the closing story. If the director has a
total of 8 stories to choose from, how many
possible ways can the program be set up?
• Solution: 𝑛𝑃𝑟 = 8𝑃3 =
8!
(8−3)!
= 336
• Note: You can use your calculator to do the
calculations. Type in number for n, then Math
PRB nPr, then number for r.
Example 2
• A school musical director can select 2 musical
plays to present next year. One will be
presented in the fall, the other in the spring. If
she has 9 to pick from, how many different
possibilities are there?
• Solution: 9𝑃2 =
9!
(9−2)!
=
9!
7!
= 72
Combinations
• A selection of distinct objects without regard
to order is called a combination.
• The number of combinations of r objects
selected from n objects is denoted by nCr and
𝑛!
is given by the formula 𝑛𝐶𝑟 =
(𝑛−𝑟)!𝑟!
Example
• A newspaper editor has received 8 books to
review. He decides that he can use 3 reviews
in his newspaper. How many different ways
can these 3 reviews be selected?
• Solution: 𝑛𝐶𝑟 = 8𝐶3 =
8!
(8−3)!3!
=
8!
5!3!
= 56
• Note: You can use your calculator for
calculations. Type in the number for n then
math PRB nCr, then the number for r.
Example 2
• In a club there are 7 women and 5 men. A
committee of 3 women and 2 men is to be
chosen. How many different possibilities are
there?
• Solution: 7𝐶3 ∙ 5𝐶2 =
7!
5!
∙
7−3 !3! 5−2 !2!
= 350
• Note: Because there are two events and they
have to occur together you must multiply the
events. Therefore, you will have to use rules from
previous sections.
