A random experiment gives rise to possible outcomes, but any particular outcome is uncertain – “random”. For example, tossing a coin… we know H or T will.

PROBABILITY IDEAS Random Experiment – know all possible outcomes, BUT - can not predict the outcome of a particular trial. SAMPLE SPACE – set of all possible outcomes EXAMPLES: Toss a coin: Sample space= {T, H} 2. Roll a die, observe the score on top. Sample space = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,}. 3. Throw a basketball, record the number of attempts to the first basket. Sample space = {1, 2, 3, 4, …}. 4. Wait for a Taxi, record waiting time in seconds. Sample space = {t: t ≥0}, t=time.

EVENTS Event – a combination of one or more outcomes - a subset of the sample space. Events are usually denoted by capital letters: A, B, C, … EXAMPLES: Toss a coin: Event A: Head comes up. A= { H}. 2. Roll a die. Event A: Even number comes up. A = {2, 4, 6}. Event B: Number smaller than 3 comes up. B= {1, 2}. 3. Throw a basketball. Event A: Get the basket before 4th trial. A= {1, 2, 3}. 4. Wait for a Taxi. Event B: Wait no longer than 2 min. B=(0, 120) sec. IN PROBABILITY WE LOOK FOR PROBABILITIES (CHANCES) OF EVENTS

An interpretation of probability Random experiment outcome/event Q: What are the chances/probability of that event? Repeat the experiment many, many times. Record the PROPORTION of times that event occurred in the repeated experiments. Proportion=relative frequency. Probability ≈ long-term relative frequency of an event/outcome. EXAMPLE. P(H) ≈proportion of H in many (say 100,000) tosses of a coin.

PROBABILITY RULES- AXIOMS OF PROBABILITY Rule 1. Probability of an event A, P(A), is a number between 0 and 1. Rule 2. In any random experiment, probability of all possible outcomes added together is 1. Rule 3. Probability of (A or B) is the sum of P(A) and P(B) if events A and B have no common outcomes. P(A or B) =P(A)+P(B) if A and B do not overlap Sample Space A B Venn diagram for two events A and B with no common outcomes, disjoint A and B.

MORE PROBABILITY RULES Rule 4. Probability that event A does not occur P(not A)=1-P(A). Rule 5. Addition rule. P(A or B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A and B) Illustrations with Venn diagrams. S=Sample space A B Not A A A and B A or B Complement of A Not A Overlapping events A and B

EXAMPLE Roll a die twice, record the score on both rolls. Sample space: 36 ordered pairs Event A: All results with sum of scores equal to 7. A={(1, 6), (6, 1), (2, 5), (5, 2), (3, 4), (4, 3)} Event B: All results with first score equal to 5. B={(5, 1), (5, 2), …(5, 6)}. A or B={(1, 6), (6, 1), (2, 5), (5, 2), (3, 4), (4, 3), (5, 1), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5, 6)}. A and B={(5,2)}. S= {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), … , (1,6), (2, 1), (2,2), …, (2, 6), ……… (6,1), (6, 2), (6, 3), … , (6, 6)}.

EQUALLY LIKELY OUTCOMES Fair die all outcomes/scores have the same chances of occurring. Fair coin H and T have 50-50 chances of coming up. Loaded die some scores have larges chances of coming up than others. When all outcomes have the same probability we say they are equally likely. In an experiment with finite number of equally likely outcomes, the probability of an outcome =1/ (total number of possible outcomes), and for an event A number of outcomes that make up A P(A) = -------------------------------------------------- . total number of possible outcomes

Example Select a 2 digit random number. What is the probability that it is divisible by either 3 or 4? Solution. There are 10 digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, …, 9. 10 possibilities for each digit 100 possible 2 digit random numbers/outcomes. Events: A: selected # is divisible by 3; A={ 00, 03, 06, 09, 12, 15,..,99}. B: selected number is divisible by 4; B={ 00, 04, 08, 12, 16, …, 96}. P(A) =34/100; P(B) =25/100 A and B = # div. by 3 and 4, i.e. div. by 12: A and B={00, 12, 24, .., 96}. P(A and B) = 9/100 P(A or B) = P(A) +P(B)-P(A and B)=34/100 +25/100 – 9/100 =50/100=0.5.
