1. Revision I) Definition of Probability I) Definition of Probability When all the possible outcomes of an event E are equally likely, the probability of the occurrence of E, often denoted by P(E), is defined as: I) Definition of Probability When all the possible outcomes of an event E are equally likely, the probability of the occurrence of E, often denoted by P(E), is defined as:

1. Revision ? I) Definition of Probability = Example : The possible outcomes : ? =

1. Revision ? 9 I) Definition of Probability = Example : The possible outcomes : ? = 1 2 3 4 9 5 6 7 8 9

1. Revision 3 ? 9 I) Definition of Probability 1 = 3 Example : The possible outcomes : 1 3 1 2 3 ? = 3 9

1. Revision II) P(E)=1 the probability of an event that is certain to happen II) P(E)=1 the probability of an event that is certain to happen Why ? Example : A coin is tossed. P(head or tail) = 1 Since the possible outcomes are $5 and and they are also favourable outcomes.

1. Revision Why ? impossible III) P(E)=0 the probability of an event that is certain NOT to happen III) P(E)=0 the probability of an event that is certain NOT to happen Why ? Example : A die is thrown. P(getting a ‘7’) = Since the possible outcomes are , , , , and impossible

1. Revision < < < < IV) 0 P(E) 1 evenly likely impossible 0 1/2 1 evenly likely impossible certain unlikely likely

2. Independent Events Definition Two events are said to be independent of the happening of one event has no effect on the happening of the other. Independent events

2. Independent Events Example: 1. Throwing a die and a coin. Let A be the event that ‘1’ is being thrown. Let B be the event that ‘Tail’ is being thrown. Then A and B are independent events. 2. Choosing an apple and an egg. Let C be the event that a rotten apple is chosen. Let D be the event that a rotten egg is chosen. Then C and D are independent events.

2. Independent Events Non-example: 1. Throwing 2 dice. Let A be the event that any number is thrown. Let B be the event that a number which is greater than the first number is thrown. Since the second number is greater than the first number, B depends on A. Therefore, A and B are NOT independent.

2. Independent Events Non-example: 2. Choosing 2 fruits. Let C be the event that a banana is chosen first. Let D be the event that an apple is then chosen. Since a banana is chosen first and an apple is then chosen, D is affected by C. Therefore, C and D are NOT independent.

2. Independent Events Question 1 Throwing 2 dice. Let A be the event that ‘Odd’ is being thrown. Let B be the event that ‘divisible by 3’ is being thrown. Are A and B independent?

2. Independent Events Congratulation! Throwing 2 dice. Event A = the result is ‘Odd’. Event B = the result is ‘divisible by 3’. Event A and event B are independent because they do not affect each other.

2. Independent Events Sorry. The correct answer is... Throwing 2 dice. Event A = the result is ‘Odd’. Event B = the result is ‘divisible by 3’. Event A and event B are independent because they do not affect each other.

2. Independent Events Question 2 Catching 2 fishes. Let A be the event that the cat catches a golden fish first. Let B be the event that the cat then catches a fish which is NOT golden. Are A and B independent?

2. Independent Events Sorry. The correct answer is... Catching 2 fishes. Event A = the result is ‘Golden’. Event B = the result is ‘Not Golden’. After the first catching, the total number of outcomes and the number of favourable outcomes changes. That is, B depends on A; therefore, A and B are NOT independent.

2. Independent Events Congratulation! Catching 2 fishes. Event A = the result is ‘Golden’. Event B = the result is ‘Not Golden’. After the first catching, the total number of outcomes and the number of favourable outcomes changes. That is, B depends on A; therefore, A and B are NOT independent.

2. Independent Events Question 3 Throwing 1 die and 1 coin. Let A be the event that ‘Odd’ is being thrown. Let B be the event that ‘Head’ is being thrown. Are A and B independent?

2. Independent Events Congratulation! Throwing 1 die and 1 coin. Event A = the result is ‘Odd’. Event B = the result is ‘Head’. Event A and event B are independent because they do not affect each other.

2. Independent Events Sorry. The correct answer is... Throwing 1 die and 1 coin. Event A = the result is ‘Odd’. Event B = the result is ‘Head’. Event A and event B are independent because they do not affect each other.

3. Multiplication of Probability If there are 2 independent events A and B, we can calculate the probability of A and B by applying to Multiplication Law: P(A and B) = P(A)  P(B)

3. Multiplication of Probability What is the number of possible outcomes of throwing a die? What is the number of possible outcomes of tossing a coin ?

3. Multiplication of Probability What is the number of possible outcomes of throwing a die? What is the number of possible outcomes of tossing a coin ? T H

3. Multiplication of Probability What is the total number of possible outcomes of throwing a die and tossing a coin at the same time? T H

3. Multiplication of Probability What is the total number of possible outcomes of throwing a die and tossing a coin at the same time? Total Possible Outcomes = 2  6 =12

3. Multiplication of Probability What is the probability of getting a head and an odd number? P(H and Odd)

3. Multiplication of Probability Try another one, OK!? GO... Try another one, OK!? GO... Try another one, OK!? GO...

3. Multiplication of Probability Find the probability that one die shows an ‘Odd’ number and the other die shows a number ‘divisible by 3’.

3. Multiplication of Probability Find the probability that one die shows an ‘Odd’ number and the other die shows a number ‘divisible by 3’. Solution: P(one odd and one divisible by 3) = P(one odd)  P(one divisible by 3)

3. Multiplication of Probability P(A and B) = P(A)  P(B)  and A and B are independent events. Condition!?

Example 1 In a class, there are 9 students, they are John, Peter, Paul, Sam, Mary, Anna, Susan, Sandy and Betty. What is the probability of choosing Sam and Mary as the monitor and monitress?

In a class, there are 9 students, they are John, Peter, Paul, Sam, Joe, Mary, Susan, Sandy and Betty. What is the probability of choosing Sam and Mary as the monitor and monitress? Total no. of boys = 4 Total no. of girls = 5 P( Sam ) = P( Mary ) = Thus the probability is = =

Example 2 The probability of Peter to pass Chinese, English and Mathematics are 3/4, 4/5 and 1/3 respectively. Find the probability that he passes Chinese and Mathematics only? Chinese English Mathematics What is this?

The probability of Peter to pass Chinese, English and Mathematics are 3/4, 4/5 and 1/3 respectively. Find the probability that he passes Chinese and Mathematics only? P(fail English) Thus the probability of Peter passes Chinese and Mathematics only is Peter pass Chinese and Mathematics only, that means…… Fail English What is this?

Example 3 SELECTED EFFECTIVE METHOD One letter is chosen at random from each of the words: SELECTED EFFECTIVE METHOD Find the probability that three letters are the same.

E SELECTED SELECTED EFFECTIVE EFFECTIVE EFFECTIVE METHOD METHOD METHOD Which letter should be choose : SELECTED SELECTED EFFECTIVE EFFECTIVE EFFECTIVE METHOD METHOD METHOD METHOD E probability that three letters are the same SELECTED, P(‘E’) = EFFECTIVE, P(‘E’) = METHOD, P(‘E’) =

5. Summary Definition of independent event: Two events are said to be independent of the happening of one event has no effect on the happening of the other. independent no effect

P(A and B) = P(A)  P(B) and  Multiplication Law Condition: where A and B are independent events A and B are independent events independent events Then, how can we write?

Exercise 1 Euler goes to a restaurant to have a dinner. He can choose beef, pork or chicken as the main dish and the probability of each is 0.3, 0.2 and 0.5 respectively. He can choose rice, spaghetti or potato to serve with the main dish and the probability of each is 0.1, 0.6 and 0.3 respectively. Find the probability that he chooses beef with spaghetti.

Exercise 1- Solution Yeah! Finish! Let’s try example 2.

Exercise 2 My old alarm clock has a probability of 2/3 that it will go off. If it doesn’t, there is still a probability of 3/4 that I’ll wake up anyway in time to catch the 8 o’clock bus. Even if it does go off, there is a probability of 1/6 that I’ll sleep through it and not get to the bus stop in time. Find the probability that: (a) I get to work (b) I do not get to the bus stop in time.

Exercise 2 - Solution

Exercise 2 - Solution

Exercise 3 In a football match, team A has a penalty kick. The coach is deciding which player to take that place. It is known that the goalkeeper will defend the left, the central and the right parts with probabilities of 0.3, 0.2 and 0.5 respectively. (a) Find the probability that Beckham has a goal if the probability of kicking the ball to the left, central and right part is 0.6, 0.1 and 0.3.

Exercise 3 - Solution (a) P(Beckham has a goal) = 1- P(left of goalkeeper) x P(right of player) - P(central of goalkeeper) x P(central of player) - P(right of goalkeeper) x P(left of player)

Exercise 3 In a football match, team A has a penalty kick. The coach is deciding which player to take that place. It is known that the goalkeeper will defend the left, the central and the right parts with probabilities of 0.3, 0.2 and 0.5 respectively. (b) Find the probability that Owen has a goal if the probability of kicking the ball to the left, central and right part is 0.2, 0.5 and 0.3.

Exercise 3 - Solution

Exercise 3 In a football match, team A has a penalty kick. The coach is deciding which player to take that place. It is known that the goalkeeper will defend the left, the central and the right parts with probabilities of 0.3, 0.2 and 0.5 respectively. (c) Which player do you think the coach should choose?

Exercise 3 Ha ha… Coach should choose me (Owen) because my probability of having a goal is greater than yours.
