  1. Probability and Statistics Probability • Chance outcomes Observation • Any recording of information Experiment • Describes any process that generates a set of data Sample space, S • A set of all possible outcomes of a statistical experiment

  2. Probability and Statistics Probability Sample point • An outcome in a sample space Example 2.1: Consider the experiment of tossing a die. If we are interested in the number that shows on the top face, the sample space would be:

  3. Probability and Statistics Probability Example 2.2: Consider the experiment of tossing a die. If we are interested on whether the number is even or odd, the sample space would be: Example 2.3: Consider the experiment of tossing a coin. If we are interested on whether a head or a tail will show up, the sample space would be:

  4. Probability and Statistics Probability Example 2.4: An experiment consists of flipping a coin. If a head occurs, the coin is flipped a second time. If a tail occurs, a die is tossed. Second outcome Sample point {HH} H First outcome H {HT} T {T1} 1 {T2} 2 3 {T3} T 4 {T4} 5 {T5} 6 {T6}

  5. Probability and Statistics Probability Example 2.5: Suppose that three items are selected at random from a manufacturing process. Each item is inspected and classified defective, D, or non-defective, N third item sample point D second item {DDD} D N first item D {DDN} D N N {DND} D D {DNN} N {NDD} N D N {NDN} N {NND} {NNN}

  6. Probability and Statistics Probability • For any given experiment we may be interested in the occurrence of certain events rather than in the outcome of a specific element in the sample space. Example 2.6: We are interested in the event A that the outcome when a die is tossed is divisible by 3.

  7. Probability and Statistics Probability Example 2.7: Suppose that three items are selected at random from a manufacturing process. Each item is inspected and classified defective, D, or non-defective, N (with reference to example 2.5). If we are interestedin the event B that the number of defectives is greater than 1:

  8. Probability and Statistics Probability Event • A subset of a sample space Complement of an Event • A subset of all elements of the sample space that are not in event A Example 2.8: We are interested in the event A that the outcome when a die is tossed is divisible by 3. (with reference to 2.6)

  9. Probability and Statistics Probability Example 2.9: Suppose that three items are selected at random from a manufacturing process. Each item is inspected and classified defective, D, or non-defective, N (with reference to example 2.5). If we are interestedin the event B that the number of defectives is greater than 1: (with reference to 2.7)

  10. Probability and Statistics Probability Intersection • The intersection of two events A and B, denoted by the symbol A  B, is the event containing all elements that are common to A and B. Mutually Exclusive • Two events A and B are mutually exclusive or disjoint if the intersection between them is null (A  B = ), that is, if A and B have no elements in common

  11. Probability and Statistics Probability Union • The union of the two events A and B, denoted by the symbol A  B, is the event containing all the elements that belong to A or B or both.

  12. Probability and Statistics Counting Sample Points Theorem 2.1 • If an operation can be performed in n1 ways, and if for each of these a second operation can be performed in n2 ways, then the two operations can be performed together in n1n2 ways. Example 2.10: How many sample points are in the sample space when a pair of dice is thrown once? • There are 36 possible ways

  13. Probability and Statistics Counting Sample Points Theorem 2.1 Example 2.11: A developer of a new subdivision offers prospective home buyers a choice of Tudor, rustic, colonial, and traditional exterior styling in ranch, two-story, and split-level floor plans. In how many different ways can a buyer order one of these homes?

  14. Probability and Statistics Counting Sample Points Theorem 2.2 • 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 two operations can be performed together in n1n2n3,…nk ways.

  15. Probability and Statistics Counting Sample Points Theorem 2.2 Example 2.12: How many lunches consisting of a soup, sandwich, dessert, and a drink are possible if we can select 4 soups, 3 kinds of sandwiches, 5 desserts, and 4 drinks? • soup • sandwiches • desserts • drinks

  16. Probability and Statistics Counting Sample Points Theorem 2.2 Example 2.13: How many even three-digit numbers can be formed from the digits 1, 2, 5, 6, and 9 if each digit can be used only once? • ones • hundreds • tens

  17. Probability and Statistics Counting Sample Points Permutation • It is an arrangement of all or part of a set of objects Example 2.14: Consider the three letters a, b, and c. The possible permutations are abc, acb, bac, bca, cab, and cba. • In other words it has 6 distinct arrangements • First letter • Second letter • Third letter

  18. Probability and Statistics Counting Sample Points Theorem 2.3 • The number of permutation of n distinct objects is n!. Example 2.15: Consider the four letters a, b, c and d. The number of possible permutations is:

  19. Probability and Statistics Counting Sample Points Example 2.16: Given the four letters a, b, c and d. Consider the number of permutations that are possible by taking the four letters two at a time. • These would be ab, ac, ad, ba, bc, bd, ca, cb, cd, da, db, dc • First letter • Second letter

  26. Probability and Statistics Counting Sample Points Combination: r is chosen from n without regard to order • A partition with two cells, where one cell contains the r objects selected and the other cell containing the (n – r) objects Theorem 2.8 • The number of combinations of n distinct objects taken r at a time is

Probability and Statistics Counting Sample Points Example 2.21: From 4 chemists and 3 physicists find the number of committees that can be formed consisting of 2 chemists and 1 physicist. • The number of ways of selecting 2 chemists from 4: • The number of ways of selecting 1 physicist from 3:

  28. Probability and Statistics Quiz Registrants at a large convention are offered 6 sightseeing tours on each of 3 days. In how many ways can a person arrange to go on a sightseeing tour planned by this convention? A certain shoe comes in 5 different styles with each style available in 4 distinct colors. If the store wishes to display pairs of these shoes showing all of its various styles and colors, how many different pairs would the store have on display? A California study concluded that by following 7 simple heath rules, a man’s life can be extended by 11 years on the average and a woman’s life by 7 years. These 7 rules are: no smoking, regular exercise, use alcohol moderately, get 7 to 8 hours of sleep, maintain proper weight, eat breakfast, and do not eat between meals. In how many ways can a person adopt five of these rules to follow: If the person presently violates all 7 rules? If the person never drinks and always eats breakfast?

  29. Probability and Statistics Quiz A witness to a hit-and-run accident told the police that the license number contained the letters RLH followed by 3 digits, the first of which is a 5. If the witness cannot recall the last 2 digits, but is certain that all 3 digits are different, find the maximum number of automobile registrations that the police may have to check. In how many ways can 6 people be lined up to get on a bus? with no restrictions if 3 persons insist on following each other if 2 specific persons refuse to follow each other If a multiple-choice test consists of 5 questions each with 4 possible answers of which only 1 is correct, in how many different ways can a student check off one answer to each question? in how many ways can a student check off one answer to each question and get all the answers wrong?
