“PROBABILITY” Some important terms Event: An event is one or more of the possible outcomes of an activity. When we toss a coin there are two possibilities,
Simple Event Probability is the chance or likelihood that an event will happen. It is the ratio of the number of ways an event can occur to the number.
Experimental Probability of Simple Events

MATH 2311 Section 2.3

Basic Probability Models The probability of any outcome of a random phenomenon is the proportion of times the outcome would occur in a very long series of repetitions. The sample space of a random phenomenon is the set of all possible outcomes. An event is an outcome or a set of outcomes of a random phenomenon. It is a subset of the sample space. A simple event is an event consisting of exactly one outcome.

Computing Probability To compute the probability of some event E occurring, divide the number of ways that E can occur by the number of possible outcomes the sample space, S, can occur:

Basic Rules of Probability

Examples (Popper 1: EMCF 1): Suppose we draw a single card from a deck of 52 fair playing cards. 1. What is the probability of drawing a heart? a. 1/52b. 1/13c. ¼d What is the probability of drawing a queen? a. 1/52b. 1/13c. ¼d. 0

Examples: If 5 marbles are drawn at random all at once from a bag containing 8 white and 6 black marbles, what is the probability that 2 will be white and 3 will be black?

Examples: The qualified applicant pool for six management trainee positions consists of seven women and five men. a.What is the probability that a randomly selected trainee class will consist entirely of women? b. What is the probability that a randomly selected trainee class will consist of an equal number of men and women?

Examples: A sports survey taken at UH shows that 48% of the respondents liked soccer, 66% liked basketball and 38% liked hockey. Also, 30% liked soccer and basketball, 22% liked basketball and hockey, and 28% liked soccer and hockey. Finally, 12% liked all three sports. a. What is the probability that a randomly selected student likes basketball or hockey? Solve this by also using an appropriate formula.

Also, 30% liked soccer and basketball, 22% liked basketball and hockey, and 28% liked soccer and hockey. Finally, 12% liked all three sports. b. What is the probability that a randomly selected student does not like any of these sports?
