10-5 Conditional and Unconditional Probability. (Sequential events)

The Probability of Sequential Events The probability of event A happening followed by event B. Event A: rolling a 5 on a single die. Event B: rolling a 6 on a single die. Event A: drawing a red marble out of a bag of marbles (containing more than one red marble and some other colors) Event B: drawing another red marble out of the same bag of marbles (without replacement) How are these two situations different?

Vocabulary Conditional Probability: the probability of an event depends upon the outcome of a previous event occurring (drawing a red ball on the second draw out of a bag of colored marbles). Unconditional Probability : the probability of an event does not depend upon the outcome of a previous event occurring (the probability of drawing a king on the second card dealt when the previously dealt card was shuffled back into the deck before drawing the second card (with replacement). into the deck before drawing the second card (with replacement).

Conditional vs. Unconditional Probability. 150 raffle tickets were sold for a mall gift certificate. 200 tickets were sold for a movie pass. Does the probability of winning the mall gift certificate depend upon whether or not the movie pass was won or not? Winning the gift certificate or winning the movie pass are independent events. independent events. What is the probability that you win both?

Dependent vs. Independent Events A BMX bicycle race as 8 starting positions called “slots”. What is the probability of drawing slot #8 for 3 races is a row?

What is the probability that the second card dealt will be a king (without replacing the first card)? 4. What is the probability of rolling a 5 then rolling another 5 using the same die? using the same die?

Probability of Independent Events What is the probability of rolling a 5 then rolling another 5 using the same die? 5 using the same die? P(A and B) where events “A” and “B” are independent: P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B) P (“5” and “5”) = ?

Independent Probability. For fund raiser, 100 tickets are sold for dinner for two at at Chile’s Restaurant, and 200 tickets are sold for a booklet of movie passes. You buy 3 of the dinner and 5 of the movie raffle tickets. What is the probability of winning both? P (“dinner” and “movie”) = ?

Independent Probability. Your turn: 5. What is the probability of rolling “snake eye’s” (two 1’s) followed by another “snake eye’s” on the second roll of a pair of “fair” dice ? 6. Events “A” and “B” are independent events. P(A) = 0.9 P(A) = 0.9 P(B) = 0.8 P(B) = 0.8 P(A and B) = ? P(A and B) = ?

Geometric Probability: Assumming that at an arrow randomly hits anywhere in the four square area, what is the probability of hitting in the #1 square with the first dart and the #4 square with the second dart? What would be the probability of hitting in order squares #1 through #4 with 4 darts thrown one after the other?

Probability 7. What is the probability of hitting the outer ring on with the first dart and the “bull’s eye” with the second dart? first dart and the “bull’s eye” with the second dart? 8. What is the probability hitting the “bull’s eye” on the first try then not hitting the “bull’s eye” on the second try? then not hitting the “bull’s eye” on the second try?

Dependent Probability. A card is dealt face up from a deck of cards. What is the probability that the second card dealt will be a king? The probality of getting a king on the second card depends upon whether there was a king drawn on the first card. Case 1: king was drawn first (without replacement) Case 2: king not drawn first (no replacement of the card) The probability of the second event depends upon whether there was a king drawn on the first card.

Probability of Dependent Events P(A and B) where events “A” and “B” are dependent: P(A and B) = P(A) * P(‘B’ given that event ‘A’ occurred) A card is dealt face up from a deck of cards. What is the probability that the first card is not a king and the second card dealt is a king? Event B: rolling a 6 on a single die.

Probability of Dependent Events P(A and B) = P(A) * P(‘B’ given that event ‘A’ occurred) A bag contains 3 red, 3 blue, and 3 green marbles. You and two friends pick a marble from the bag (without replacing). What is the probability that you will each have a different color of marble? First draw: Seconddraw: Thirddraw:

Probability In the movie “Tron” a game is played where two contestants are on circular stands. One player throws a ball toward the are on circular stands. One player throws a ball toward the player’s circle. If that player doesn’t catch the ball, it will hit player’s circle. If that player doesn’t catch the ball, it will hit one of the rings he is standing on and the ring will disappear. one of the rings he is standing on and the ring will disappear. He needs to either catch the ball or get off the ring before it He needs to either catch the ball or get off the ring before it disappears. If a player is standing on a ring when it disappears disappears. If a player is standing on a ring when it disappears he will fall to his death. he will fall to his death. 15. What is the probability of a player still being alive if he doesn’t catch the ball, doesn’t move and he is standing on the blue ring?

Dependent/independent vs. Disjoint/overlapping events. Dependent/Independent events deal with sequential events. Disjoint/overlapping events deal with an event that can be categorized in more than one way. Drawing a king then a 5. Drawing a red then a blue marble Being a girl with brown hair in a group of boys and girls of different hair colors. P(A or B)= P(A) + P(B) – P(overlap)
