Definitions
Probability: likelihood of an event happening Experiment: a process that generates well defined outcomes With any ONE repetition of an experiment, you can only get ONE outcome Sample Space: set of all experimental outcomes
1-3
Counting
Multiple Step Experiments A sequence of k steps with n1 possible outcomes in the first step, n2 possible outcomes in the second step, etc. (n1)(n2)(n3)(nk)

Counting
Combinations The process of selecting n objects from N objects WITHOUT concern for their sequence

Counting
Permutations The process of selecting n objects from N objects WITH concern for their sequence

Examples
1) One die Typically assume that there is an equal chance for any side P(i) = 1/6 and P(1) + P(2) + P(3) + P(4) + P(5) + P(6) = 1 2) Sample data estimating a population See p 156 3) KP&L (p 157)
1-8
Definition
Event: a collection of sample points Ex: KP&L project 10 months Probability of an event: the sum of the probabilities of the sample points in the event
1-9
Relationships of Probability
Complement of an Event Complement of event A (Ac) is the event of all sample point NOT in A See Fig 4.4 (p 165) P(A) = 1 P(Ac)

Definition
Union of two events (A and B): All sample points in A or B or both AUB Fig 4.5 (p 166)

Definition
Intersection of two events (A and B): All sample points in both A and B AB Fig 4.6 (p 166)

Addition Law
Computes the probability that event A or event B or both occurs (i.e., the probability of the union of A and B)
1-13
Conditional Probability
The probability of event A given that event B has already happened P(A | B) Ex: Table 4.4 (p 171) and 4.5 (p 172)

Conditional Probability
Ex: Table 4.4 (p 171) & bottom of p 172 P(A | M) = 288 / 960 = 30% i.e., Column Percentage P(A | M) = 960 =
288 1200 1200

Conditional Probability
P(M | A) = 288 / 324 = 88.889% i.e., Row Percentage P(M | A) = 324 =
