This document defines key probability terms and concepts. It begins by defining probability as the mathematics of chance that tells us the relative frequency of events. It then defines theoretical, experimental, and subjective probability. Key concepts explained include sample space, events, complementary events, independence, mutually exclusive events, and conditional probability. Examples are provided to illustrate calculating probabilities from tables or Venn diagrams. Conditional probability is demonstrated using a two-packet seed problem represented with a Venn diagram.
It gives detail description about probability, types of probability, difference between mutually exclusive events and independent events, difference between conditional and unconditional probability and Bayes' theorem
These slides represent a brief idea about conditional probability along with illustrative examples and discussions. It also consists the use of sets to develop a better understanding for the students having the following theorem in their course.

Def: An experiment is a process by which observations are generated.
Def: A variable is a quantity that is observed in the experiment.
Def: The sample space (S) for an experiment is the set of all possible outcomes.
Def: An event E is a subset of a sample space. It provides the collection of outcomes
that correspond to some classification.
Example:
Note: A sample space does not have to be finite.
Example: Pick any positive integer. The sample space is countably infinite.
A discrete sample space is one with a finite number of elements, { }1,2,3,4,5,6 or one that
has a countably infinite number of elements { }1,3,5,7,... .
A continuous sample space consists of elements forming a continuum. { }x / 2 x 5< <
2
A Venn diagram is used to show relationships between events.
A intersection B = (A โฉ B) = A and B
The outcomes in (A intersection B) belong to set A as well as to set B.
A union B = (A U B) = A alone or B alone or both
Union Formula
For any events A, B, P (A or B) = P (A) + P (B) โ P (A intersection B) i.e.
P (A U B) = P (A) + P (B) โ P (A โฉ B)
3
cA complement not A A ' A A = = = =
A complement consists of all outcomes outside of A.
Note: P (not A) = 1 โ P (A)
Def: Two events are mutually exclusive (disjoint, incompatible) if they do not intersect,
i.e. if they do not occur at the same time. They have no outcomes in common.
When A and B are mutually exclusive, (A โฉ B) = null set = ร, and P (A and B) = 0.
Thus, when A and B are mutually exclusive, P (A or B) = P (A) + P (B)
(This is exactly the same statement as rule 3 below)
Axioms of Probability
Def: A probability function p is a rule for calculating the probability of an event. The
function p satisfies 3 conditions:
1) 0 โค P (A) โค1, for all events A in the sample space S
2) P (Sample Space S) = 1
3) If A, B, C are mutually exclusive events in the sample space S, then
P(A B C) P(A) P(B) P(C)โช โช = + +
4
The Classical Probability Concept: If there are n equally likely possibilities, of which one
must occur and s are regarded as successes, then the probability of success is s
n
.
Example:
Frequency interpretation of Probability: The probability of an event E is the proportion of
times the event occurs during a long run of repeated experiments.
Example:
Def: A set function assigns a non-negative value to a set.
Ex: N (A) is a set function whose value is the number of elements in A.
Def: An additive set function f is a function for which f (A U B) = f (A) + f (B) when A and
B are mutually exclusive.
N (A) is an additive set function.
Ex: Toss 2 fair dice. Let A be the event that the sum on the two dice is 5. Let B be the
event that the sum on ...

Probability 2(final)
1. DDeeffiinniittiioonnss
Probability is the mathematics of chance.
It tells us the relative frequency with which we can
expect an event to occur
The greater the probability the more
likely the event will occur.
It can be written as a fraction, decimal, percent,
or ratio.
2. DDeeffiinniittiioonnss
Certain
Impossible
1
.5
0
50/50
Probability is the numerical
measure of the likelihood that
the event will occur.
Value is between 0 and 1.
Sum of the probabilities of all events
is 1.
3. DDeeffiinniittiioonnss
A probability experiment is an action through which
specific results (counts, measurements, or responses)
are obtained.
The result of a single trial in a probability experiment
is an outcome.
The set of all possible outcomes of a probability
experiment is the sample space, denoted as S.
e.g. All 6 faces of a die: S = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 }
4. DDeeffiinniittiioonnss
An event consists of one or more outcomes and is a
subset of the sample space.
Events are often represented by uppercase letters,
such as A, B, or C.
Notation: The probability that event E will occur is
written P(E) and is read
โthe probability of event E.โ
5. DDeeffiinniittiioonnss
โข The Probability of an Event, E:
P(E) =
Number of Event Outcomes
Total Number of Possible Outcomes in S
Consider a pair of Dice
โข Each of the Outcomes in the Sample Space are random

(There are 2 ways to get one 6 and the other 4)
6. DDeeffiinniittiioonnss
There are three types of probability
1. Theoretical Probability
Theoretical probability is used when each outcome
in a sample space is equally likely to occur.
P(E) =
Number of Event Outcomes
Total Number of Possible Outcomes in S
The Ultimate probability formula ๏
7. DDeeffiinniittiioonnss
There are three types of probability
2. Experimental Probability
Experimental probability is based upon observations
obtained from probability experiments.
P(E) =
Number of Event Occurrences
Total Number of Observations
The experimental probability of an event
E is the relative frequency of event E
8. DDeeffiinniittiioonnss
There are three types of probability
3. Subjective Probability
Subjective probability is a probability measure
resulting from intuition, educated guesses, and
estimates.
Therefore, there is no formula to calculate it.
Usually found by consulting an expert.
9. DDeeffiinniittiioonnss
Law of Large Numbers.
As an experiment is repeated over and over, the
experimental probability of an event approaches
the theoretical probability of the event.
The greater the number of trials the more likely
the experimental probability of an event will equal
its theoretical probability.
10. CCoommpplliimmeennttaarryy EEvveennttss
The complement of event E is the set of all
outcomes in a sample space that are not included in
event E.
The complement of event E is denoted by

11. TThhee MMuullttiipplliiccaattiioonn RRuullee
If events A and B are independent, then the
probability of two events, A and B occurring in a
sequence (or simultaneously) is:
P(Aand B) = P(AรB) = P(A)ยด P(B)
This rule can extend to any number of independent
events.
Two events are independent if the occurrence of the
first event does not affect the probability of the
occurrence of the second event.
12. MMuuttuuaallllyy EExxcclluussiivvee
Two events A and B are mutually exclusive if and
only if:
P(AรB) = 0
In a Venn diagram this means that event A is
disjoint from event B.
A B A B
A and B are M.E.
A and B are not M.E.
13. TThhee AAddddiittiioonn RRuullee
The probability that at least one of the events A
or B will occur, P(A or B), is given by:
P(Aor B) = P(AรB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AรB)
If events A and B are mutually exclusive, then the
addition rule is simplified to:
P(Aor B) = P(AรB) = P(A) + P(B)
This simplified rule can be extended to any number
of mutually exclusive events.
14. CCoonnddiittiioonnaall PPrroobbaabbiilliittyy
Conditional probability is the probability of an event
occurring, given that another event has already
occurred.
Conditional probability restricts the sample space.
The conditional probability of event B occurring,
given that event A has occurred, is denoted by P(B|
A) and is read as โprobability of B, given A.โ
16. CCoonnddiittiioonnaall PPrroobbaabbiilliittyy
e.g. There are 2 red and 3 blue counters in a bag
and, without looking, we take out one counter and
do not replace it.
The probability of a 2nd counter taken from the bag
being red depends on whether the 1st was red or
blue.
Conditional probability problems can be solved by
considering the individual possibilities or by using a
table, a Venn diagram, a tree diagram or a formula.
Harder problems are best solved by using a formula
together with a tree diagram.

The probability of a complex event can be found
using a probability tree diagram.
1. Draw the appropriate tree diagram.
2. Assign probabilities to each branch.
(Each section sums to 1.)
3. Multiply the probabilities along individual branches to
find the probability of the outcome at the end of each
branch.
4. Add the probabilities of the relevant
outcomes, depending on the event.
45. E.g. 3. In November, the probability of a man getting to
2
work on time if there is fog on the road is 5 .
If the visibility is good, the probability is 9 .

61. IInnddeeppeennddeenntt EEvveennttss
We can deduce an important result from the conditional
law of probability:
If B has no effect on A, then, P(A B) = P(A) and we say
the events are independent.
( The probability of A does not depend on B. )
So, P(A|B) = P(A ร B)
P(B)
becomes P(A) = P(A ร B)
P(B)
or P(A ร B) = P(A) ยด P(B)
62. Tests for independence
P(A B) = P(A)
P(A ร B) = P(A) ยด P(B)
