Conditional Probability and the Multiplication Rule

Conditional Probability  The probability of an event occurring, given that another event has already occurred  Denoted P(B | A) (read “probability of B, given A”)  (probability of event B occuring, given that event A has occurred)

Two cards are selected in sequence from a standard deck. Find the probability that the second card is a queen, given that the first card is a king. (Assume that the king is not replaced.) Solution: Because the first card is a king and is not replaced, the remaining deck has 51 cards, 4 of which are queens.

The table shows the results of a study in which researchers examined a child’s IQ and the presence of a specific gene in the child. Find the probability that a child has a high IQ, given that the child has the gene. Gene Present Gene not presentTotal High IQ Normal IQ Total

There are 72 children who have the gene. So, the sample space consists of these 72 children. Of these, 33 have a high IQ. Gene Present Gene not presentTotal High IQ Normal IQ Total

Independent events  The occurrence of one of the events does not affect the probability of the occurrence of the other event  P(B | A) = P(B) or P(A | B) = P(A)  Events that are not independent are dependent

1. Selecting a king from a standard deck (A), not replacing it, and then selecting a queen from the deck (B). Dependent (t he occurrence of A changes the probability of the occurrence of B) Solution: Decide whether the events are independent or dependent.

2. Tossing a coin and getting a head (A), and then rolling a six-sided die and obtaining a 6 (B). Independent (the occurrence of A does not change the probability of the occurrence of B) Solution:

Multiplication rule for the probability of A and B  The probability that two events A and B will occur in sequence is ◦ P(A and B) = P(A) ∙ P(B | A)  For independent events the rule can be simplified to ◦ P(A and B) = P(A) ∙ P(B) ◦ Can be extended for any number of independent events

Two cards are selected, without replacing the first card, from a standard deck. Find the probability of selecting a king and then selecting a queen. Solution: Because the first card is not replaced, the events are dependent.

A coin is tossed and a die is rolled. Find the probability of getting a head and then rolling a 6. Solution: The outcome of the coin does not affect the probability of rolling a 6 on the die. These two events are independent.

The probability that a particular knee surgery is successful is Find the probability that three knee surgeries are successful. Solution: The probability that each knee surgery is successful is The chance for success for one surgery is independent of the chances for the other surgeries. P(3 surgeries are successful) = (0.85)(0.85)(0.85) ≈ 0.614

Find the probability that none of the three knee surgeries is successful. Solution: Because the probability of success for one surgery is The probability of failure for one surgery is 1 – 0.85 = 0.15 P(none of the 3 surgeries is successful) = (0.15)(0.15)(0.15) ≈ 0.003

Find the probability that at least one of the three knee surgeries is successful. Solution: “At least one” means one or more. The complement to the event “at least one successful” is the event “none are successful.” Using the complement rule P(at least 1 is successful) = 1 – P(none are successful) ≈ 1 – = 0.997

More than 15,000 U.S. medical school seniors applied to residency programs in Of those, 93% were matched to a residency position. Eighty-two percent of the seniors matched to a residency position were matched to one of their top two choices. Medical students electronically rank the residency programs in their order of preference and program directors across the United States do the same. The term “match” refers to the process where a student’s preference list and a program director’s preference list overlap, resulting in the placement of the student for a residency position. (Source: National Resident Matching Program) (continued)

1. Find the probability that a randomly selected senior was matched a residency position and it was one of the senior’s top two choices. Solution: A = {matched to residency position} B = {matched to one of two top choices} P(A) = 0.93 and P(B | A) = 0.82 P(A and B) P(A)∙P(B | A) = (0.93)(0.82) ≈ dependent events

2. Find the probability that a randomly selected senior that was matched to a residency position did not get matched with one of the senior’s top two choices. Solution: Use the complement: P(B′ | A) = 1 – P(B | A) = 1 – 0.82 = 0.18
