  1. Week 11 - Wednesday CS322

  2. Last time • What did we talk about last time? • Exam 2 post-mortem • Combinations

  3. Questions?

  4. Logical warmup • This is a puzzle we should have done with sequences • Consider the following sequence, which should be read from left to right, starting at the top row 1 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 1 • What are the next two rows in the sequence?

  5. Back to Combinations

  6. Combinations example • How many ways are there to choose 5 people out of a group of 12? • What if two people don't get along? How many 5 person teams can you make from a group of 12 if those two people cannot both be on the team?

  7. Poker examples • How many five-card poker hands contain two pairs? • If a five-card hand is dealt at random from an ordinary deck of cards, what is the probability that the hand contains two pairs?

  8. r-combinations with repetitions • What if you want to take r things out of a set of n things, but you are allowed to have repetitions? • Think of it as putting r things in n categories • Example: n = 5, r = 4 • We could represent this as x||xx|x| • That's an rx's and n – 1 |'s

  9. r-combinations with repetitions • So, we can think of taking an r-combination with repetitions as choosing r items in a string that is r + n – 1 long and marking those as x's • Consequently, the number of r-combinations with repetitions is

  10. Example • Let's say you grab a handful of 10 Starbursts • Original Starbursts come in • Cherry • Lemon • Strawberry • Orange • How many different handfuls are possible? • How many possible handfuls will contain at least 3 cherry?

  11. Handy dandy guide to counting • This is a quick reminder of all the different ways you can count things:

  12. Bionomial Theorem and Pascal's Triangle Student Lecture

  13. Binomial Matters

  14. Pascal's Triangle • Hopefully, you are all familiar with Pascal's Triangle, the beginning of which is: • If we number rows and columns starting at 0, note that the value of row n, column r is exactly

  15. Pascal's Formula • Pascal's Triangle works because of Pascal's Formula: • We can easily show its truth:

  16. Binomial Theorem • a + b is called a binomial • Using combinations (or Pascal's Triangle) it is easy to compute (a + b)n • We could prove this by induction, but you probably don't care

  17. Binomial Example • Compute (1 – x)6 using the binomial theorem

  18. More on Probability

  19. Probability axioms • Let A and B be events in the sample space S • 0 ≤ P(A) ≤ 1 • P() = 0 and P(S) = 1 • If A  B = , then P(A  B) = P(A) + P(B) • It is clear then that P(Ac) = 1 – P(A) • More generally, P(A  B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A  B) • All of these axioms can be derived from set theory and the definition of probability

  20. Union probability example • What is the probability that a card drawn randomly from an Anglo-American 52 card deck is a face card (jack, queen, or king) or is red (hearts or diamonds)? • Hint: • Compute the probability that it is a face card • Compute the probability that it is red • Compute the probability that it is both

  21. Expected value • Expected value is one of the most important concepts in probability, especially if you want to gamble • The expected value is simply the sum of all events, weighted by their probabilities • If you have n outcomes with real number values a1, a2, a3, … an, each of which has probability p1, p2, p3, … pn, then the expected value is:

  22. Expected value: Roulette • A normal American roulette wheel has 38 numbers: 1 through 36, 0, and 00 • 18 numbers are red, 18 numbers are black, and 0 and 00 are green • The best strategy you can have is always betting on black (or red) • If you bet $1 on black and win, you get $1, but you lose your dollar if it lands red or green • What is the expected value of a bet?

  23. Conditional probability • Given that some event A has happened, the probability that some event B will happen is called conditional probability • This probability is:

  24. Conditional probability example • Given two, fair, 6-sided dice, what is the probability that the sum of the numbers they show when rolled is 8, given that both of the numbers are even?

  25. Bayes' Theorem • Let sample space S be a union of mutually disjoint events B1, B2, B3, … Bn • Let A be an event in S • Let A and B1 through Bn have non-zero probabilities • For Bk where 1 ≤ k ≤ n

  26. Applying Bayes' theorem • Bayes' theorem is often used to evaluate tests that can have false positives and false negatives • Consider a test for a disease that 1 in 5000 people have • The false positive rate is 3% • The false negative rate is 1% • What's the probability that a person who tests positive for the disease has the disease? • Let A be the event that the person tests positively for the disease • Let B1 be the event that the person actually has the disease • Let B2 be the event that the person does not have the disease • Apply Bayes' theorem

  27. Independent events • If events A and B are events in a sample space S , then these events are independent if and only if P(A B) = P(A)∙P(B) • This should be clear from conditional probability • If A and B are independent, then P(B|A) = P(B)
