Section 13.2 Complements and Union of Events
Objective 1.Finding the probability that an event will not occur. 2.Find the probability of one event or a second event occurring. 3.Understand and use odds.
Key Concept: Computing the Probability of the Complement of an event. If E is an event, then P(E’) = 1 – P(E) From previous section.
Example 1: Using the Complement TB pg. 740/1
Example 2: Using the Complement TB pg. 740/
Example 3: Using the Complement TB pg. 740/8
Example 4: TB pg. 741/9
Key Concept: Rule for Computing the Probability of a Union of Two Events If E and F are events, then ▫P(E U F) = P(E) + P(F) – P(E ∩ F). If E and F have no outcomes in common they are called mutually exclusive events. In this case, since E ∩ F = ø, the preceding formula simplifies to ▫P(E U F) = P(E) + P(F)
