Rule 1 Legitimate ValuesFor any event E 0 lt P(E) lt 1

Rule 2 Sample spaceIf S is the sample space P(S) = 1

Rule 3 Complement

For any event E

P(E) + P(not E) = 1Or

P(not E) = 1 ndash P(E)

Rule 4 Addition (A or B)If two events E amp F are disjoint

P(E or F) = P(E) + P(F)

(General) If two events E amp F are not disjoint

P(E or F) = P(E) + P(F) ndash P(E amp 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) =

P(not (H or N or T) =

yes

25 + 18+ 14 = 57

1 - 57 = 43

Two events are independent if knowing that one will occur (or has occurred) does not change the probability that the other occursFlip a Coin and Get Heads Flip a coin again

Example Teens with Online ProfilesThe Pew Internet and American Life Project finds that 93 of teenagers (ages

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 amp B) = P(A) P(B|A)

Read ldquoprobability of B given that A occursrdquo

P(Spade amp Spade) = 14 1251 = 117

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 amp SC) or P(SC amp 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 amp SC) or P(SC amp S) or (S amp 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 ndash 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

An airline estimates that the probability that a random call to their reservation phone line result in a reservation being made is 031 This can be expressed as P(call results in reservation) = 031 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

Rule 4 Addition (A or B)If two events E amp F are disjoint

P(E or F) = P(E) + P(F)

(General) If two events E amp F are not disjoint

P(E or F) = P(E) + P(F) ndash P(E amp 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

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 amp B) = P(A) P(B|A)

Read ldquoprobability of B given that A occursrdquo

P(Spade amp Spade) = 14 1251 = 117

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 amp SC) or P(SC amp 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 amp SC) or P(SC amp S) or (S amp 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 ndash 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

Page 33: Probability of A occurring P(A) Sum of all possible outcomes = 1

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 ndash P(none)

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

An airline estimates that the probability that a

random call to their reservation phone line

result in a reservation being made is 031 This

can be expressed as P(call results in

reservation) = 031 Assume each call is

independent of other calls

What is the probability that none of the

next four calls results in a reservation
