  1. Probability

  2. The probability of an event E

  3. Ex1) • Two fair dice are rolled. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers on the dice is 10?

  4. Ex2) (1) For a fair die, what is the probability of an odd number? (2)Suppose that a die is loaded so that the numbers 2 through 6 are equally likely to appear, but that 1 is three times as likely as any other number to appear. What is the probability of an odd number?

  5. The probability of the complement event Let E be an event. The probability of E', the complement of E, satisfies

  6. Ex3) Birthday Problem • Find the probability that among n persons, at least two people have same birthdays. Assume that all months and dates are equally likely, and ignore Feb. 29 birthdays.

  7. The probability of the union • The probability of the event AandB : • The probability of the event AorB :

  8. Ex4) Two fair dice are rolled. (1) What is the probability that a sum of 7 or 11 turns up? (2) What is the probability of getting doubles (two dice showing the same number) or a sum of 6?

  9. Conditional Probability The conditional probability of A given by B is

  10. Ex5) • A pointer is spun once on a circular spinner. The probability assigned to the pointer landing on a given integer is the ratio of the area of the corresponding circular sector to the area of the whole circle, as given in the table: (1) What is the probability of the pointer landing on a prime number? (2) What is the probability of the pointer landing on a prime number, given that it landed on an odd number?

  11. Ex6) • Suppose that city records produced the following probability data on a driver being in an accident on the last day of a Memorial Day weekend: • Find the probability of an accident, rain or no rain. • Find the probability of rain, accident or no accident. • Find the probability of an accident and rain. • Find the probability of an accident, given rain

  12. Product Rule • A and B are independent events if . • If A and B are independent, then

  13. Ex7) Testing for Independence • In two tosses of a single fair coin, show that the events “A head on the first toss” and “A head on the second toss” are independent.

  14. Ex8) Testing for Independence • A single card is drawn from a standard 52-card deck. Test the following events for independence. A=the drawn card is a spade B=the drawn card is a face card

  15. A=the drawn card is a spade B=the drawn card is a face card
