1. Conditional Probability and Intersection of Events Section 13.3

2. Objective 1. Find the probability of one event and a second event occurring. 2. Compute conditional probabilities.

3. Key Term: Conditional Probability – the probability of event B, assuming that event A has already occurred, We denote this probability by P(B/A). Independent Events – two events that their occurrence has no effect on the probability of the other. Dependent Events – two events that their occurrence has an effect on the probability of the other.

4. Key Concept: Special Rule for Computing P(F/E) by Counting If E and F are events in a sample space with equally likely outcomes then P(F/E) = n(E ∩ F) = number of outcomes common to E and F n(E) number of outcomes in E

5. Key Concept: General Rule for Computing P(F/E) If E and F are events in a sample space with equally likely outcomes then P(F/E) = P(E ∩ F) P(E)

11. Example 6: Find P(F/E) TB pg. 755/19

12. Example 7: TB pg. 755/33

13. Example 8: TB pg. 755/37

14. Example 9: TB pg. 755/43

15. Key Concept: And Probabilities with Independent Events If A and B are independent events, then P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B). And Probabilities with Dependent Events If A and B are dependent events, then P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B given that A has occurred).
