  1. ????? • What is the probability of tossing a head with a fair coin? • What is the probability of tossing 2 heads with two tosses of a fair coin? • What is the probability of tossing at least 2 heads with three tosses of a fair coin? G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 1

  2. ????? • What is the probability that at least 2 people in this class (n=39) have the same birthday – Month and day? • Year has 365 days – forget leap year. • Equal likelihood for each day G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 2

  3. Probability A Brief Look

  4. A Few Terms • Probability represents a standardized measure of chance, and quantifies uncertainty. • Let S = sample space which is the set of all possible outcomes. G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 4

  5. Distribution of Defects for Extruded Molding G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 5

  6. Distribution for Life of Light Bulbs [2500,2600), [2600,2700),…..[3000,3100] G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 6

  7. A Few Terms • Probability represents a standardized measure of chance, and quantifies uncertainty. • Let S = sample space which is the set of all possible outcomes. • An event is a set of possible outcomes that is of interest. • If A is an event outcome, then P(A) is the probability that event outcome A occurs. G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 7

  8. ID the Sample Space, A’s and P(A)’s • What is the chance that it will rain today? • The number of maintenance calls for an old photocopier is twice that for the new photocopier. What is the chance that the next call will be regarding an old photocopier? • If I pull a card out of a pack of 52 cards, what is the chance it’s a spade? G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 8

  9. Union and Intersection of Events • The intersection of events A and B refers to the probability that both event A and event B occur. • The union of events A and B refers to the probability that event A occurs or event B occurs or both events, A & B, occur. and either/or G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 9

  10. Mutually Exclusive Events • Mutually exclusive events can not occur at the same time. S S Mutually Exclusive Events Not Mutually Exclusive Events G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 10

  11. Roommate profile Distribution Frequency - Counts Relative Frequency - Probability G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 11

  12. What is the probability that a randomly chosen roommate will snore? G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 12

  13. What is the probability that a randomly chosen roommate will like to party? G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 13

  14. What is the probability that a randomly chosen roommate will snore or like to party? G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 14

  15. The Union of Two Events • If events A & B intersect, you have to subtract out the “double count”. • If events A & B do not intersect (are mutually exclusive), there is no “double count”. G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 15

  16. Given that a randomly chosen roommate snores, what is the probability that he/she likes to party? G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 16

  17. Conditional Probability • The conditional probability of B, given that A has occurred: Given G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 17

  18. Probability of Intersection • Solving the conditional probability formula for the probability of the intersection of A and B: G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 18

  19. Intersection example • Consider the college applicant who has determined that he has 0.80 probability of acceptance and that only 60% of the accepted students will receive dormitory housing. • The probability of being accepted and receiving dormitory housing is calculated by: P(Accepted and Dormitory Housing) = P(Accepted) P(Dormitory Housing | Accepted ) = (0.80)*(0.60) = 0.48. • The student has about a 48% chance of getting into college and receiving dorm housing.

  20. When , we say that Events B and A are Independent. The basic idea underlying independence is that information about event A provides no new information about event B. So “given event A has occurred”, doesn’t change our knowledge about the probability of event B occurring. G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 20

  21. There are 10 light bulbs in a bag, 2 are burned out. • If we randomly choose one and test it, what is the probability that it is burned out? • If we set that bulb aside and randomly choose a second bulb, what is the probability that the second bulb is burned out? G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 21

  22. Near Independence • EX: Car company ABC manufactured 2,000,000 cars in 2009; 1,500,000 of the cars had anti-lock brakes. • If we randomly choose 1 car, what is the probability that it will have anti-lock brakes? • If we randomly choose another car, not returning the first, what is the probability that it will have anti-lock brakes? G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 22

  23. Independence • Sampling with replacement makes individual selections independent from one another. • Sampling without replacement from a very large population makes individual selection almost independent from one another G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 23

  24. Test for Independence • If , then A and B are independent events. • If A and B are not independent events, they are said to be dependent events. G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 24

  25. Are snoring or not and partying or not independent of one another? G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 25

  26. Arrange the counts so that snoring and partying are independent of one another. G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 26

  27. Complementary Events • The complement of an event is every outcome not included in the event, but still part of the sample space. • The complement of event A is denoted A. • Event A is not event A. • The complement of an event is every outcome not included in the event, but still part of the sample space. • The complement of event A is denoted A. • Event A is not event A. S: A A G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 27

  28. ????????????????? All mutually exclusive events are complementary. • True • False G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 28

  29. Probability Rules • 0 < P(A) < 1 • Sum of all possible mutually exclusive outcomes is 1. • Probability of A or B: • Probability of A or B when A, B are mutually exclusive: G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 29

  30. Probability Rules Continued • Probability of B given A: • Probability of A and B: • Probability of A and B when A, B are independent: G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 30

  31. Probability Rules Continued • If A and A are compliments: or G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 31

  32. So Let’s Apply the Rules • We purchase 30% of our parts from Vendor A. Vendor A’s defective rate is 5%. What is the probability that a randomly chosen part is defective and from Vendor A? G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 32

  33. ???????????? • We are manufacturing widgets. 50% are red, 30% are white and 20% are blue. What is the probability that a randomly chosen widget will not be white? G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 33

  34. ???????????? • When a computer goes down, there is a 75% chance that it is due to overload and a 15% chance that it is due to a software problem. There is an 85% chance that it is due to an overload or a software problem. What is the probability that both of these problems are at fault? G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 34

  35. ???????????? • It has been found that 80% of all accidents at foundries involve human error and 40% involve equipment malfunction. 35% involve both problems. If an accident involves an equipment malfunction, what is the probability that there was also human error? G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 35

  36. ????????????????? Four electrical components are connected in series. The reliability (probability the component operates) of each component is 0.90. If the components are independent of one another, what is the probability that the circuit works when the switch is thrown? A B C D G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 36

  37. An automobile manufacturer gives a 5-year/75,000-mile warranty on its drive train. Historically, 7% of the manufacturer’s automobiles have required service under this warranty. Consider a random sample of 15 cars. • If we assume the cars are independent of one another, what is the probability that no cars in the sample require service under the warranty? • What is the probability that at least one car in the sample requires service? G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 37

  38. Consider the following electrical circuit: A B C • The probability on the components is their reliability (probability that they will operate when the switch is thrown). Components are independent of one another. • What is the probability that the circuit willnot operate when the switch is thrown? 0.95 0.95 0.95 G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 38

  40. The number of maintenance calls for an old photocopier is twice that for the new photocopier. • Two maintenance calls for an old machine followed by a call for a new machine. • Two maintenance calls for new machines followed by a call for an old machine. • Three maintenance calls in a row for an old machine. • Three maintenance calls in a row for a new machine Outcomes Old Machine New Machine Probability 0.67 0.33 Which of the following series of events would most cause you to question the validity of the above probability model? G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 40

  41. ????? • What is the probability that at least 2 people in this class (n=39) have the same birthday – Month and day? • Year has 365 days – forget leap year. • Equally likelihood for each day G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 41

  42. Multiplication of Choices • If an operation can be performed in n1 ways, and if for each of these a second operation can be performed in n2 ways, and for each of the first two a third operation can be performed in n3 ways, and so forth, then the sequence of k operations can be performed in n1·n2·…· nk ways. G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 42

  43. Multiplication of Choices • There are 5 processes needed to manufacture the side panel for a car: clean, press, cut, paint, polish. Our plant has 6 cleaning stations, 3 pressing stations, 8 cutting stations, 5 painting stations, and 8 polishing stations. • How many different “pathways” through the manufacturing exist? • What is the number of “pathways” that include a particular pressing station? • What is the probability that a panel follows any particular path? • What is the probability that a panel goes through pressing station 1? G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 43

  44. Classical Definition of Probability If an experiment can result in any one of N different, but equally likely, outcomes, and if exactly n of these outcomes corresponds to event A, then the probability of event A is G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 44

  45. Counting • Suppose there are 3 vendors and we want to choose 2. How many possible combinations of 2 can be chosen from the 3 vendors? G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 45

  46. Counting - Combinations • The number of combinations of n distinct objects taken r at a time is “n choose r” G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 46

  47. Factorial Reminder • n! = n · (n-1) · (n-2) ·….. • EX: 4! = (4)(3)(2)(1) = 24 • 1! = 1 0! = 1 G. Baker, Department of Statistics University of South Carolina; Slide 47
