2 Memorize all definitions and terms: Probability Page 3 If an experiment has n equally likely outcomes of which r outcomes are r favorable to event A, then the probability of event A is: P ( A). n r option P(Rolling a ) n 6 options Probabilities must be between zero and one. heoretical Probability Page 3 Experimental Probability Page 3 Sample Space Page 3 0 P Page 3 AND Page 3 OR Page 3 P (a) vs p (a) Page,7 Complement Page heoretical Probability is what should happen. hese Probabilities are calculated using formulae. Experimental Probability is what actually happens. hese probabilities are calculated by experiment. he sample space is the set or the list of all possible outcomes. r he sample space is n in P ( A) n Probabilities are always between 0 and Probabilites can be written in decimal form or as fraction Probabilities can be converted to percentages % (20% is not a probability it is a percentage) Means both hat is the probability that a randomly chosen student is a boy and in grade 2. Another way of saing this would be what is the probability that a Grade 2 boy is chosen. Multiply probabilties Means Either hat is the probability that a randomly chosen student is a boy or is in grade 2. Another way of saying this would be, what is the probability that the student chosen is a male student or a grade 2 girl. Add probabilities P (a) Probability that event a happens p(a) Probability that event a does not happen P (a) + p (a) he complement of a is a. If the probability of winning is 0.8, then the complement of winning is 0.2. he complement of winning is losing. P ( winning ) 0. 8 & P ( winning ) P ( Notinning) 0.2 Using the complement is often helpful when solving at least or at most questions. 2

3 Conditional probability Mutually exclusive Page 7 Independent events Page 6 Dependent events Page inomial Events & inomial Distribution Page 3 P ( A ) his is read, the probability of A given has already happened. he probability of A occurring under P(A ) will not be out of 0 but out of 5, the number of outcomes that are. Events are mutually exclusive if they have nothing in common Playing card example. earts and diamonds are mutually exclusive. Playing card example. earts and face cards are not mutually exclusive. Event A and are independent events if they do not impact each other. Examples of indepedent events: Rolling dice, Flipping coins, drawing cards with replacement Probabilities do not change if the events are independent Event A and are dependent if they impact each other in any way Example of dependent events: Drawing cards without replacement An event/distribution where there are only 2 options. Example of binomial events. Flipping a coin, Rolling a die and comparing rolling the number vs everything else. A binomial event always has a yes/no answer. Ie was the result a head? as the result a. as the result something other than? n C r (A) r (A NO) n-r 3

4 Introduction to Probability Probability If an experiment has n equally likely outcomes of which r outcomes are r favorable to event A, then the probability of event A is: P ( A). n r option P(Rolling a ) n 6 options Sample Space Page 3 0 P Page 3 OR And he sample space is the set or the list of all possible outcomes. r he sample space is n in P ( A) n Probabilities are always between 0 and Probabilites can be written in decimal form or as fraction Probabilities can be converted to percentages % (20% is not a probability it is a percentage) Is inclusive. Is exclusive. A coin is flipped once. hat is the probability that the result will be heads? P(eads)0.5 or 2 Probabilities are always between zero and one. e can convert probabilities to percentages. here is a 50% chance that a coin will land heads. heoretical versus Experimental Probabilities A coin is tossed. Consider the event a single head.. Determine the heoretical probability 2. Determine the experimental probability with 00 tosses of the coin? heoretical probability is what should happen. Experimental probability is what actually happen. In Math 2 we will focus entirely on theoretical probabilities.
