WRITE DOWN 5 WAYS IN WHICH YOU SEE/USE PROBABILITY IN EVERY DAY LIFE.

3. 3.1 Basic concepts of probability and counting
CHAPTER 3: PROBABILITY
3.1 Basic concepts of probability and counting

4. VOCABULARY
Probability experiment: An action, or trial, through which specific results (counts, measures, or responses) are obtained.
Outcome: the result of a single trial of a probability EXPERIMENT
Sample space: The set of all possible outcomes in a sample space. EVENTS ARE SUBSETS OF THE SAMPLE SPACE.

5. DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF OUTCMES AND IDENTIFY THE SAMPLE SPACE
DRAWING A DIAMOND OUT OF A DECK OF CARDS
ROLLING A 2 ON A 6-SIDED DIE.
Drawing a king out of a deck of cards
Flipping heads on a coin
Drawing a black 4 from a deck of cards.

6. Sometimes we can draw out the number of responses using a diagram
SUPPOSE WE PROPOSED THE QUESTION:
DOES YOUR FAVORITE TEAM’S WIN OR LOSS AFFECT YOUR MOOD?
A. Yes b. NO. C. Not Sure
Let’s say we wanted to divide the responses up by gender as well. What would our sample space look like? How big would it be?

7. The fundamental counting principle
If event 1 can occur m ways and event 2 can occur n ways, then both events can occur a number of m x n ways. We use this rule for events occurring in sequence.

8. Example…
Suppose you took your date out for a nice steak dinner. You have the following options for your choice of steak and a side.
Cut of STEAK: Ribeye, T-BONE, NEW YORK STRIP, FILET MIGNON, PORTERHOUSE
TEMPERATURE: RARE, MEDIUM RARE, MEDIUM WELL, WELL-DONE
SIDE: LOADED BAKE POTATOES, SWEET POTATOES, RICE PILAF, MACORONI and CHEESE, salad.
Use the FUNDAMENTAL COUNTING PRINCIPLE TO FIND OUT HOME MANY COMBINATIONS YOU CAN MAKE.

9. YOUR BANK ACCOUNT HAS A 4-DIGIT PIN NUMBER…
How many possible codes are there if you can repeat every number?

10. PIN NUMBER CONTINUED…
What if numbers could not be repeated and only used once?

11. CLASSICAL PROBABILITY
CLASSICAL PROBABILITY IS USED WHEN EACH OUTCOME IN A SAMPLE IS EQUALLY LIKELY TO OCCUR.
p(e)= 𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑂𝑢𝑡𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝐸𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐸 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑂𝑢𝑡𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑆𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒
What is the probability of rolling a three on a six sided die?

12. Suppose you rolled a six-sided die
What is the probability you roll an even number?
A number Greater than 4?

13. WHAT IS THE PROBABILITY OF LANDING ON A RED SPACE
WHAT IS THE PROBABILITY OF LANDING ON A RED SPACE? (There are 24 spaces)

14. EMPIRICAL PROBABILITY
EMPIRICAL PROBABILITY: Based on observations obtained from probability experiments.
The formula… p(e)= 𝐹𝑟𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝐸𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐸 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐹𝑟𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑦 = 𝑓 𝑛

15. Example… GRADE FREQUENCY A 5 B 7 C 16 D 4 F 3
Suppose the following frequency distribution represent grades on a test…
Find the probability that you made a c ON THE TEST…
Find the probability that you made an a or b on the test…
GRADE
FREQUENCY A 5 B 7 C 16 D 4 F 3

16. LAST PART OF 3.1 GRADE FREQUENCY A 5 B 7 C 16 D 4 F 3
Law of LARGE NUMBERS: Repetition of an experiment so that the empirical probability of an event approaches the actual probability of the event.
Complement of event e: Set of all outcomes in a sample space that are not included in event e. Denoted as E’.
Looking back at the test scores table. What is the probability that you did not make a C on the test?
GRADE
FREQUENCY A 5 B 7 C 16 D 4 F 3

17. CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY AND THE MULTIPLICATION RULE
SECTION 3.2
CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY AND THE MULTIPLICATION RULE

18. CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY
PROBABILITY OF AN EVENT OCCURING, GIVEN THAT ANOTHER HAS ALREADY OCCURRED.
Read as “probability of b, given a.” and denoted by p(b|a)
You are dealt two cards from a 52-card deck, one face up, and one face down. If the card showing is an ace, what is the probability that the card face down is an ace as well?

19. Example 2…
The results of a middle school survey on favorite winter sports are as follows:
What is the probability of selecting a 6th grader?
What is the probability of selecting a 7th grader that prefers snowboarding?
Suppose the student selected likes skiing, what is the probability that it is an 8th grader?

20. Types of events and the multiplication rule
Two events are independent if the occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of the second event. Otherwise they are said to be dependent events.
Independent EVENTS ARE DENOTED AS P(B|A)=P(B) or if p(a|b)=p(a)
Determine if the following are dependent or independent events…
Selecting a king from a deck of cards, replacing it, and then selecting an odd number.
Tossing a COIN and then rolling a 6-sided die
Not doing your homework and trying to pass the class.
Winning the volleyball game and the weather being sunny.

21. MULTIPLICATION RULE
PROBABILITY THAT TWO EVENTS WILL OCCUR IN SEQUENCE IS:
P(A AND B)= P(A) X P(B|A). If the events are independent the formula can simply be written as p(a) x p(b).

22. EXAMPLES…
Probability of getting a 10 dealt to you and then getting an ace dealt to you.
P(10)=…. P(A)=…
The probability that a weight loss pill is successful is 71%.
What is the probability that it is successful on 4 people?
What is the probability that it is successful on 0 of the 4 people?
What is the probability that it is successful on at least 1 of the 4 people?

23. THE ADDITION RULE
SECTION 3-3

24. MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE EVENTS
Events that occur in sequence have a probability denoted by p(a and b).
Mutually exclusive events are denoted by p(a or b).
Two events are mutually exclusive if event a and event b cannot occur at the same time
We use mutually exclusive events to find the probability that at least one event will occur.

25. EXAMPLES…
Decide if the following events are mutually exclusive. Can they occur at the same time? Do they have any outcomes in common?
Event A: Selecting a JACK FROM A STANDARD DECK OF CARDS
Event B: Selecting a face card from a standard deck of cards
EVENT A: RANDOMLY SELECTING A VEHICLE THAT IS A FORD
EVENT b: Randomly selecting a vehicle that is a toyota

26. THE ADDITION RULE
THE PROBABILITY THAT EVENTS A OR BB WILL OCCUR P(A OR B) IS GEVEN BY
P(A OR B)= P(A)+P(B)-P(A AND B)
IF THEY ARE MUTUALLLY EXCLUSIVE, THEN OUR FORMULA IS SIMPLY P(A OR B)= P(A)+P(B)

27. P(A OR B)= P(A)+P(B)-P(A AND B)
You win $10 if you are dealt a queen or a heart from a standard deck of cards. Find the probability that you win the game.
