1. Multiplication Law for Several Events
General multiplication law is extended to several components

2. The general multiplication rules are useful in solving many problems in which the ultimate outcome of an experiment depends on the outcomes of various intermediate stages.

3. Conditional Probability
The four attendants of a gasoline service station are supposed to wash the windshield of each customer’s car.
Janet, who services 20% of all cars, fails to wash the windshield one time in 20
Tom, who services 60% of all cars, fails to wash the windshield one time in 10
Georgia, who services 15% of all cars, fails to wash the windshield one time in 10
Peter, who services 5% of all cars, fails to wash the windshield one time in 20.

4. Conditional Probability
If a customer later complained that her windshield was not washed, what is the probability that her car was serviced by Janet?

5. Solution All these are mutually exclusive events.
Pr[windshield was not washed|Janet serviced the car] =

6. Probability and Sampling
Probability is especially important in summarizing potential sampling results. Because multiple observations are usually involved in statistical evaluations, the probability calculations can be complicated. Probability trees can be helpful in organizing these computations.

8. Independent Sample Observation
Sampling without replacement: When inspected sample units are set aside.
