Welcome to MM150 Unit 7 Seminar

Definitions Experiment - A controlled operation that yields a set of results. Outcomes - The possible results from an experiment. Event - A subcollection of the outcomes of an experiment.

Definitions Continued Empirical Probability - The relative frequency of occurrence of an event and is calculated by ACTUAL OBSERVANCE of an experiment. Theoretical Probability - The determination of probability through a STUDY OF POSSIBLE OUTCOMES that can occur for the experiment.

Definitions Continued Empirical Probability P(E) = number of times event E has occurred total number of time exp. is performed Theoretical Probability (Outcome equally likely) P(E) = number of outcomes favorable to E total number of possible outcomes

Example Let’s use 10 flips of a fair coin, which has 2 outcomes: heads or tails. Empirical: I toss the coin 10 times and flip heads 7 times. P(Head) = 7/10 = 0.7 Theoretical: There are 2 outcomes, 1 of which is favorable to being a head. P(Head) = 1/2 = 0.5

Law of Large Numbers Probability statements apply in practice to a large number of trials, not to a single trial. It is the relative frequency over the long run that is accurately predictable, not individual events or precise totals.

Is it a fair die? Consider a standard six sided die. What is the theoretical probability of rolling an even number in a single toss? P(E) = 1/2 Experiment: Roll the die many times and record if the result is even or not. Number of Rolls Number that are even results Empirical Probability 1044/10 = /100 = /500 = /1000 = Law of Large Numbers: If it is a fair die, then as we repeat the experiment more and more the empirical probability should approach the theoretical probability. It is a fair die.

4 Important Facts 1. The probability of an event that cannot occur is 0. It is said to be impossible. 2. The probability of an event that must occur is 1. It is said to be certain. 3. Every probability is a number between 0 and 1 inclusive; that is, 0 ≤ P(E) ≤ The sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes of an experiment is 1. That is, P(A) + P(not A) = 1 P(not A) = 1 - P(A)

Weather Forecast: July 15 65% chance of rain Fact 1: P(snow) = 0 Fact 2: P(rain or not rain) = 1 Fact 3: Cannot be more likely than 100% nor less likely than never! Fact 4: P(rain) = 0.65 P(not rain) = 0.35 P(rain) + P(not rain) = = 1 P(rain) = 1 - P(not rain) = 1 – 0.35 = 0.65

Odds Odds against event # ways event cannot occur : # ways event can occur OR chances of event not occuring : chances of event occuring Odds in favor of event # ways event can occur : # ways event cannot occur OR chances of event occuring :chances of event not occuring

Look at page 293 of your text, #49. Odds against A+ = 66:34 = 33:17 “For every 33 that do not have A+, there are 17 that do.” P(not A+) = 66/100 = 33/50 “33 out of every 50 people do not have A+”

Odds for A+ = 34:66 = 17:33 “For every 17 that have A+, there are 33 that do not.” P(A+) = 34/100 = 17/50 “17 out of every 50 people have A+”

Expected Value E = P 1 *A 1 + P 2 A P n A n where P 1 is the probability the first event will occur and A 1 is the net amount won or lost if the first event occurs P 2 is the probability the second event will occur and A 2 is the net amount won or lost if the second event occurs...

Expected Value Example Lawsuit Don Vello is considering bringing a lawsuit against the Dummote Chemical Company. His lawyer estimates that there is a 70% chance Don will make $40,000, a 10% chance Don will break even, and a 20% chance they will lose the case and Don will need to pay $30,000 in legal fees. Estimate Don’s expected gain or loss if he proceeds with the lawsuit. E(x) = 40,000(0.70) + 0(0.10) – 30,000(0.20) = 28, – 6,000 $22,000

Definitions Sample Space - All possible outcomes of an experiment. Sample Point - Each individual outcome in the sample space. Counting Principle - If a first experiment can be performed in M distinct ways and a second experiment can be performed in N distinct ways, then the two experiments in that specific order can be performed in M*N distinct ways.

With/Without Replacement A bag with 5 red marbles, 2 blue marbles and 1 white marble. With Replacement You pick one marble out of the bag, record it and put it back in the bag. It is available to be picked again. Counting Principle: 8 * 8 = 64 There are 64 outcomes. For example: R1R1 R1R2 R1R3 R1R4 R1R5 R1B1 R1B2 R1W R2R1 R2R2 R2R3 R2R4 R2R5 R2B1 R2B2 R2W... Without Replacment You pick one marble out of the bag, record it and set it aside (not back in the bag). It is not available to be picked again. Counting Principle: 8 * 7 = 56 There are 56 outcomes. For example: R1R2 R1R3 R1R4 R1R5 R1B1 R1B2 R1W R2R1 R2R3 R2R4 R2R5 R2B1 R2B2 R2W... Note: doubles missing

Or Problems P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B) When A and B are mutually exclusive P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

Or Problems P(Heart or 6) = P(Heart) + P(6) --- Now...think about this...There is a 6 of hearts that will be counted in the hearts and with the 6s, so it is counted twice. We only want it to be counted once. Therefore we have to subtract 1/52 from the equation above. P(Heart or 6) = P(Heart) + P(6) - 1/52 = 13/52 + 4/52 - 1/52 = 16/52 NOTE: P(Heart ∩ 6) = 1/52, so P(Heart or 6) = P(Heart) + P(6) - P(Heart ∩ 6)
