Chapter 4: Probability
Probability Probability is the chance of an event occurring. A probability experiment is a chance process that leads to well-defined results called outcomes. An outcome is the result of a single trial of a probability experiment.
A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.
Example Find the sample space for tossing two coins. Find the sample space for tossing a coin and rolling a die.
Example Use a tree diagram to determine the outcomes of an experiment of tossing three coins.
An event is a set of outcomes. An event can be one outcome or more than one outcome. An event with one outcome is called a simple event. An event with more than one outcome is called a compound event.
Example The event of drawing a card and getting a queen of hearts is a _____________ event. The event of drawing a card and getting a spade is a ____________ event
Classical probability uses sample spaces to determine the numerical probability that an event will happen. Classical probability assumes that all outcomes in the sample space are equally likely to occur.
Formula for Classical Probability – The probability of any event E is _________________________________ _____ = ________
Example: If a die is rolled one time, find these probabilities. a) of getting a 4 b) of getting an even number c) of getting a number greater than 4 d) of getting a number greater than 3 and an odd number
Probability Rules The probability of an event E is a number between and including 0 and 1. 0 < P(E) < 1 If an event E cannot occur, its probability is 0. If an event E is certain to occur its probability is 1. The sum of the probabilities of the outcomes in a sample space is 1.
Complementary Events The complement of an event E is the set of outcomes in the sample space that are not included in the outcomes of event E. The complement of E is denoted by _______.
Example Find the complement of each event. Flipping two coins and getting at least one head Selecting a day of the week that has two syllables.
Example Find the complement of each event. Rolling a die and getting a number greater than 4 Drawing a card and getting a face card
Rule for Complementary Events _______________ or __________________ or _______________
Examples An urn contains three red marbles, eight white marbles and 3 green marbles. Find the probability of selecting a marble that is not green. Two dice are tossed. Find the probability of not getting doubles.
Classical vs. Empirical Probability The difference between classical and empirical probability is that classical probability assumes that certain outcomes are equally likely while empirical probability relies on actual observation to determine the likelihood of outcomes.
Formula for Empirical Probability Given a frequency distribution the probability of an event being in a given class is _____= ___________________________ =_______ This probability is called empirical probability and is based on observation.
Example: The director of the Readlot College Health Center wishes to open an eye clinic. To justify the expense of such a clinic, the director reports the probability that a student selected at random from the college roster needs corrective lenses. He took a random sample of 500 students to compute this probability and found that 375 of them need corrective lenses. What is the probability that a Readlot College student selected at random needs corrective lenses?
Example The Right to Health Lobby wants to make a claim about the number of erroneous reports issued by a medical lab in one low-cost health center. Suppose they find in a random sample of 100 reports, 40 erroneous lab reports. What’s the probability that a report issued by this health center is erroneous?
Law of Large Numbers As the number of trials increases the empirical probability will approach the theoretical probability.
Subjective Probability Subjective probability uses a probability value based on an educated guess or estimate, employing opinions and inexact information.
Example Example: Classify each statement as an example of classical probability, empirical probability, or subjective probability. The probability that a person will watch the 6:00 news. The probability of winning at a chuck-a-luck game is 5/36.
Example An instructor states that the probability of passing the class, assuming that you pass the first test is 85%. The probability that a bus will be in an accident on a specific run is about 6%.
The probability of getting a royal flush when five cards are selected at random is 1/649,740. The probability that a student will get a C or better in a statistics course is about 70%
The probability that a new fast-food restaurant will be a success in Chicago is 35%. The probability that interest rates will rise in the next 6 months is 0.50.
The Addition Rule for Probability Two events are mutually exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time (i.e. they have no outcomes in common).
Example: Mutual Exclusiveness Determine whether these events are mutually exclusive: Roll a die and get an even number, and get a number less than 3 Roll a die: Get a number greater than 3, and get a number less than 3
Example: Mutual Exclusiveness Select a student in your college: The student is a sophomore, and the student is a business major. Select a registered voter: The voter is a Republican and the voter is a Democrat.
Addition Rule 1. When two events A and B are mutually exclusive, the probability that A or B will occur is ______________________________
Example: An automobile dealer has 10 Fords, 7 Buicks, and 5 Plymouths on her used car lot. If a person purchases a used car, find the probability that it is a Ford or a Buick?
Example: One card is randomly selected from a standard 52-card deck. Find the probability that the selected card is an ace or a king.
Example: An automobile dealership has found that 37 percent of its new car sales have been dealer financed, 45 percent have been financed by another institution, and 18 percent have been cash sales. Find the probability that the next purchase of a new car at this dealership will be either a cash sale or dealer financed.
Addition Rule 2 If A and B are not mutually exclusive, then ___________________________ Note: This rule can also be used when A and B are mutually exclusive since P(A and B) will always equal 0 for mutually exclusive events.
Example The probability that a student owns a car is 0.65, and the probability that a student owns a computer is 0.82. The probability that a student owns both is 0.55. What is the probability that a given student owns a car or a computer?
Example: The probability that a student owns a car is 0.65, and the probability that a student owns a computer is 0.82. The probability that a student owns both is 0.55. What is the probability that a given student owns neither a car nor a computer?
Example A single card is drawn from a deck. Find the probability of selecting a four or a diamond
Example A jack or a black card a club or a diamond.
Example: Titanic Example: Use the table below. Assume that one person aboard the Titanic is randomly selected. Find the probability of selecting a woman or a girl. 2223 45 64 422 1692 Total 1517 18 35 104 1360 Died 706 27 29 318 332 Survived Total Girls Boys Women Men Titanic Mortality
Example: Titanic Find the probability of selecting a woman or someone who survived. 2223 45 64 422 1692 Total 1517 18 35 104 1360 Died 706 27 29 318 332 Survived Total Girls Boys Women Men Titanic Mortality

Example At a used-book sale, 100 books are adult books and 160 are children’s books. Seventy of the adult books are nonfiction while 60 of the children’s books are nonfiction. If a book is selected at random, find the probability that it is Fiction not a children’s nonfiction an adult book or a children’s nonfiction
4-4 The Multiplication Rules and Conditional Probability Two events A and B are independent events if the fact that A occurs does not affect the probability of B occurring.
Flipping a coin and getting heads Flipping a coin a second time and getting heads Speeding while driving to class Getting a traffic ticket while driving to class Finding that your car will not start Finding that your kitchen light will not work
Multiplication Rule 1 When two events are independent the probability of both occurring is ________________________
Example: Find the probability of flipping a coin and getting tails and rolling a die and getting a 6.
Example: One card is selected from a deck of 52 cards and replaced and then another card is selected. Find the probability of selecting a queen and then selecting a heart.
Example: If 18% of all Americans are underweight, find the probability that if three Americans are selected at random, all will be underweight.
The Multiplication Rule 1 can be extended to three or more independent events by using the formula ______________________________
Example: The Gallup Poll reported that 52% of Americans used a seat belt the last time they got into a car. If four people are selected at random, find the probability that they all used a seat belt the last time they got into a car.
When the outcome or occurrence of the first event affects the outcome or occurrence of the second event in such a way that the probability is changed, the events are said to be dependent events.
Conditional Probability The conditional probability of an event B in relationship to an event A is the probability that event B occurs after event A has already occurred. The notation for conditional probability is P(B|A).
Multiplication Rule 2 When two events are dependent, the probability of both occurring is P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B|A)
Example: If two cards are selected from a standard deck of 52 cards without replacement, find these probabilities. Both are spades
Example: If two cards are selected from a standard deck of 52 cards without replacement, find these probabilities. Both are kings
Example: If two cards are selected from a standard deck of 52 cards without replacement, find these probabilities. Both are the same suit
Example A flashlight has six batteries, two of which are defective. If two are selected at random without replacement, find the probability that both are defective.
Example In a class containing twelve men and two women, 2 students are selected at random to given an impromptu speech. Find the probability that both are men.
Example: An automobile manufacturer has three factories, A, B, and C. They produce 50%, 30%, and 20%, respectively of a specific model of car. Thirty percent of the cars produced in factory A are white, 40% of those produced in factory B are white, and 25% of those produced in factory C are white. If an automobile produced by the company is selected at random, find the probability that it is white.
Conditional Probability Conditional Probability – Derived from formula for dependent events
The probability that the second event B occurs given that the first event A has already occurred can be found by dividing the probability that both events occurred by the probability that the first event occurred. The formula is __________________.
Example: At a small college, the probability that a student takes physics and sociology is 0.092. The probability that a student takes sociology is 0.73. Find the probability that the student is taking physics, given that he or she is taking sociology.
Example A circuit to run a model railroad has eight switches. Two are defective. If a person selects two switches at random and tests them, find the probability that the second one is defective, given that the first one is defective.
Example In a pizza restaurant, 95% of the customers order pizza. If 65%of the customers order pizza and a salad, find the probability that a customer who orders pizza will also order a salad.

Example: The medal distribution from the 2000 Summer Olympic Games is shown in the table. Find the probability that the winner won the gold medal, given that the winner was from the United States. 235 205 186 Others 17 25 16 Australia 15 16 28 China 28 28 32 Russia 33 25 39 United States Bronze Silver Gold
Example: The medal distribution from the 2000 Summer Olympic Games is shown in the table. Find the probability that the winner was from the United States, given that he or she won the gold medal. 235 205 186 Others 17 25 16 Australia 15 16 28 China 28 28 32 Russia 33 25 39 United States Bronze Silver Gold
Example: Traffic entering an intersection can continue straight ahead or turn right. Eighty percent of the traffic flow is straight ahead. If a car continues straight, the probability of a collision is 0.0004; if a car turns right, the probability of a collision is 0.0036. Find the probability that a car entering the intersection will have a collision.
Example: In situations where it is critical that a system function properly, additional backup systems are usually provided. Suppose a switch is used to activate a component in a satellite. If the switch fails, then a second switch takes over and activates the component. If each switch has a probability of 0.002 of failing, what is the probability that the component will be activated?
Example A vaccine has a 90% probability of being effective in preventing a certain disease. The probability of getting the disease if a person is not vaccinated is 50%. In a certain geographic region, 25% of the people get vaccinated. If a person is selected at random, find the probability that he or she will contract the disease.
At Least One The complement of at least one is zero of the same type.

  • 1.
  • 2.
    Probability Probability is the chance of an event occurring. A probability experiment is a chance process that leads to well-defined results called outcomes. An outcome is the result of a single trial of a probability experiment.
  • 3.
    A samplespace is the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.
  • 4.
    Example Find thesample space for tossing two coins. Find the sample space for tossing a coin and rolling a die.
  • 5.
    Example Use atree diagram to determine the outcomes of an experiment of tossing three coins.
  • 6.
    An event isa set of outcomes. An event can be one outcome or more than one outcome. An event with one outcome is called a simple event. An event with more than one outcome is called a compound event.
  • 7.
    Example The eventof drawing a card and getting a queen of hearts is a _____________ event. The event of drawing a card and getting a spade is a ____________ event
  • 8.
    Classical probability uses sample spaces to determine the numerical probability that an event will happen. Classical probability assumes that all outcomes in the sample space are equally likely to occur.
  • 9.
    Formula for ClassicalProbability – The probability of any event E is _________________________________ _____ = ________
  • 10.
    Example: If adie is rolled one time, find these probabilities. a) of getting a 4 b) of getting an even number c) of getting a number greater than 4 d) of getting a number greater than 3 and an odd number
  • 11.
    Probability Rules Theprobability of an event E is a number between and including 0 and 1. 0 < P(E) < 1 If an event E cannot occur, its probability is 0. If an event E is certain to occur its probability is 1. The sum of the probabilities of the outcomes in a sample space is 1.
  • 12.
    Complementary Events Thecomplement of an event E is the set of outcomes in the sample space that are not included in the outcomes of event E. The complement of E is denoted by _______.
  • 13.
    Example Find thecomplement of each event. Flipping two coins and getting at least one head Selecting a day of the week that has two syllables.
  • 14.
    Example Find thecomplement of each event. Rolling a die and getting a number greater than 4 Drawing a card and getting a face card
  • 15.
    Rule for ComplementaryEvents _______________ or __________________ or _______________
  • 16.
    Examples An urncontains three red marbles, eight white marbles and 3 green marbles. Find the probability of selecting a marble that is not green. Two dice are tossed. Find the probability of not getting doubles.
  • 17.
    Classical vs. EmpiricalProbability The difference between classical and empirical probability is that classical probability assumes that certain outcomes are equally likely while empirical probability relies on actual observation to determine the likelihood of outcomes.
  • 18.
    Formula for EmpiricalProbability Given a frequency distribution the probability of an event being in a given class is _____= ___________________________ =_______ This probability is called empirical probability and is based on observation.
  • 19.
    Example: The directorof the Readlot College Health Center wishes to open an eye clinic. To justify the expense of such a clinic, the director reports the probability that a student selected at random from the college roster needs corrective lenses. He took a random sample of 500 students to compute this probability and found that 375 of them need corrective lenses. What is the probability that a Readlot College student selected at random needs corrective lenses?
  • 20.
    Example The Rightto Health Lobby wants to make a claim about the number of erroneous reports issued by a medical lab in one low-cost health center. Suppose they find in a random sample of 100 reports, 40 erroneous lab reports. What’s the probability that a report issued by this health center is erroneous?
  • 21.
    Law of LargeNumbers As the number of trials increases the empirical probability will approach the theoretical probability.
  • 22.
    Subjective Probability Subjectiveprobability uses a probability value based on an educated guess or estimate, employing opinions and inexact information.
  • 23.
    Example Example: Classifyeach statement as an example of classical probability, empirical probability, or subjective probability. The probability that a person will watch the 6:00 news. The probability of winning at a chuck-a-luck game is 5/36.
  • 24.
    Example An instructorstates that the probability of passing the class, assuming that you pass the first test is 85%. The probability that a bus will be in an accident on a specific run is about 6%.
  • 25.
    The probability ofgetting a royal flush when five cards are selected at random is 1/649,740. The probability that a student will get a C or better in a statistics course is about 70%
  • 26.
    The probability thata new fast-food restaurant will be a success in Chicago is 35%. The probability that interest rates will rise in the next 6 months is 0.50.
  • 27.
    The Addition Rulefor Probability Two events are mutually exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time (i.e. they have no outcomes in common).
  • 28.
    Example: Mutual ExclusivenessDetermine whether these events are mutually exclusive: Roll a die and get an even number, and get a number less than 3 Roll a die: Get a number greater than 3, and get a number less than 3
  • 29.
    Example: Mutual ExclusivenessSelect a student in your college: The student is a sophomore, and the student is a business major. Select a registered voter: The voter is a Republican and the voter is a Democrat.
  • 30.
    Addition Rule 1.When two events A and B are mutually exclusive, the probability that A or B will occur is ______________________________
  • 31.
    Example: An automobiledealer has 10 Fords, 7 Buicks, and 5 Plymouths on her used car lot. If a person purchases a used car, find the probability that it is a Ford or a Buick?
  • 32.
    Example: One cardis randomly selected from a standard 52-card deck. Find the probability that the selected card is an ace or a king.
  • 33.
    Example: An automobiledealership has found that 37 percent of its new car sales have been dealer financed, 45 percent have been financed by another institution, and 18 percent have been cash sales. Find the probability that the next purchase of a new car at this dealership will be either a cash sale or dealer financed.
  • 34.
    Addition Rule 2If A and B are not mutually exclusive, then ___________________________ Note: This rule can also be used when A and B are mutually exclusive since P(A and B) will always equal 0 for mutually exclusive events.
  • 35.
    Example The probabilitythat a student owns a car is 0.65, and the probability that a student owns a computer is 0.82. The probability that a student owns both is 0.55. What is the probability that a given student owns a car or a computer?
