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

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)

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)

Rule 3 Complement
For any event 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 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)

Example Teens with Online ProfilesThe Pew Internet and American Life Project finds that 93 of teenagers (ages
12 to 17) use the Internet and that 55 of online teens have posted a profile on a social-networking site
What percent of teens are online and have posted a profile
5115 of teens are online and have posted a profile

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 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)

Rule 6 At least one
The probability that at least one outcome happens is 1 minus the probability that no outcomes happen

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
