Probability 3.1 The Concept of Probability 3.2 Sample Spaces and Events 3.3 Some Elementary Probability Rules 3.4 Conditional Probability and Independence

Probability Concepts An experiment is any process of observation with an uncertain outcome The possible outcomes for an experiment are called the experimental outcomes Probability is a measure of the chance that an experimental outcome will occur when an experiment is carried out

Probability If E is an experimental outcome, then P(E) denotes the probability that E will occur and Conditions 1. 0  P(E)  1 such that: If E can never occur, then P(E) = 0 If E is certain to occur, then P(E) = 1 2. The probabilities of all the experimental outcomes must sum to 1

Assigning Probabilities to Experimental Outcomes Classical Method For equally likely outcomes Relative frequency In the long run Subjective Assessment based on experience, expertise, or intuition

Some Elementary Probability Rules The complement of an event A is the set of all sample space outcomes not in A Further, Union of A and B, Elementary events that belong to either A or B (or both) Intersection of A and B, Elementary events that belong to both A and B These figures are “Venn diagrams”

The Addition Rule The probability that A or B (the union of A and B) will occur is where the “joint” probability of A and B both occurring together A and B are mutually exclusive if they have no sample space outcomes in common, or equivalently, if If A and B are mutually exclusive, then

Conditional Probability The probability of an event A, given that the event B has occurred, is called the “conditional probability of A given B” and is denoted as Further, Note: P(B) ≠ 0 Interpretation: Restrict the sample space to just event B. The conditional probability is the chance of event A occurring in this new sample space If A occurred, then what is the chance of B occurring?

Independence of Events Two events A and B are said to be independent if and only if: P(A|B) = P(A) or, equivalently, P(B|A) = P(B)

The Multiplication Rule The joint probability that A and B (the intersection of A and B) will occur is If A and B are independent, then the probability that A and B (the intersection of A and B) will occur is
