Probability: The Mathematics of Chance The Mean and Standard Deviation of a Probability Model
1
• Mean of a Continuous Probability Model– Suppose the area under a density curve was cut out of solid
material. The mean is the point at which the shape would balance.
Law of Large Numbers As a random phenomenon is repeated a large number of times:
The proportion of trials on which each outcome occurs gets closer and closer to the probability of that outcome, and
The mean ¯ of the observed values gets closer and closer to μ. (This is true for trials with numerical outcomes and a finite mean μ.)

Experimental Probability• Observing the results of an experiment
• An event which has a 0% chance of happening (i.e. impossible) is assigned a probability of 0.
• An event which has a 100% chance of happening (i.e. is certain) is assigned a probability of 1.
• All other events can then be assigned a probability between 0 and 1.

Experimental Probability Terminology • Number of Trials – the total number of times the
experiment is repeated.• The outcomes – the different results possible for
one trial of the experiment.• Frequency – the number of times that a particular
outcome is observed.• Relative Frequency – the frequency of an outcome
expressed as a fraction or percentage of the total number of trials. – **experimental probability = relative frequency**

Theoretical Probability• For fair spinners, coins or die (where a particular
outcome is not weighted) the outcomes are considered to have an equal likelihood.
• For a fair dice, the likelihood of rolling a 3 is the same as rolling a 5… both 1 out of 6
• This is a mathematical (or theoretical) probability and is based on what we expect to occur.– A measure of the chance of that event occurring in any
trial of the experiment

Chemistry and 15 study both. Display this in a Venn diagram and find the probability that a student studies:– Both– At least 1 of the subjects– Physics, but not Chemistry– Exactly one of the subjects– Neither– Chemistry given that the student also studies physics

Warm-Up Find the following probabilities.

Laws of Probability• For 2 events A and B,– P (A U B) = P(A) + P(B) – P (A ∩ B)
• Example: P(A) = 0.6, P(A U B) = 0.7 and P(A ∩ B) = 0.3– Represent this using a Venn diagram and find P(B)

Mutually Exclusive Events• If A and B are mutually exclusive the intersection is the
empty set and equals 0.– So the law becomes:
• Example: A box of chocolate contains 6 with hard centers (H) and 12 with soft centers (S). – Are H and S mutually exclusive?– Find P(H ∩ S)– Find P(H U S)

Laws of Probability (cont.)• Conditional Probability (dependent events):– A | B represents “A occurs knowing B has occurred”
– It follows that:

Example• In a class of 40, 34 like bananas, 22 like pineapples, and 2
dislike both fruits. Find the probability that a student:– Likes both– Likes at least one– Likes bananas give that they like pineapples– Dislikes pineapples given that they like bananas

Example (cont.)• Box A contains 3 red and 2 white tickets. Box B contains 4
red and 1 white. A die with 4 faces marked A and 2 faces marked B is rolled and used to select a box. Then we draw a ticket. Find the probability that:– The ticket is red– The ticket was chosen from B given it is red.

Using Definitions• If A and B are independent, how do we find P(A and B)?
– When 2 coins are tossed, A is the event of getting 2 heads. When a die is rolled, B is the event of getting a 5 or 6. Prove that A & B are independent

Using Definitions (cont.)• If A and B are mutually exclusive, what has to be true?
– P(A) = ½ and P(B) = 1/3, find P(A U B) if:• A and B are mutually exclusive• A and B are independent
