This method for calculating probabilities is only appropriate when the outcomes of the sample space are equally likely

The relative frequency at which a chance experiment occursFlip a fair coin 30 times amp get 17 heads

30

17

As the number of repetitions of a chance experiment increase the difference between the relative frequency of occurrence for an event and the true probability approaches zero

Rule 1 Legitimate ValuesFor any event E 0 lt P(E) lt 1

Rule 2 Sample spaceIf S is the sample space P(S) = 1

Rule 3 Complement

For any event E P(E) + P(not E) = 1

Two events are independent if knowing that one will occur (or has occurred) does not change the probability that the other occurs A randomly selected student is female - What

is the probability she plays soccer for FHS

A randomly selected student is female - What is the probability she plays football for FHS

Rule 4 Multiplication

Ex 6) Suppose I will pick two cards from a standard deck without replacement What is the probability that I select two spades

Are the cards independent NO

P(A amp B) = P(A) P(B|A)

Read ldquoprobability of B given that A occursrdquo

P(Spade amp Spade) = 14 1251 = 117

The probability of getting a spade given that a spade has already been drawn

Rule 5 AdditionIf two events E amp F are disjoint

P(E or F) = P(E) + P(F)

(General) If two events E amp F are not disjoint

P(E or F) = P(E) + P(F) ndash P(E amp F)

Ex 3) A large auto center sells cars made by many different manufacturers Three of these are Honda Nissan and Toyota Suppose that P(H) = 25 P(N) = 18 P(T) = 14 What is the probability that the next car sold is a Honda Nissan or Toyota

Are these disjoint events

Ex 4) Musical styles other than rock and pop are becoming more popular A survey of college students finds that the probability they like country music is 40 The probability that they liked jazz is 30 and that they liked both is 10 What is the probability that they like country or jazz

P(C or J) = 4 + 3 -1 = 6

Independent Yes )()( FPEP

Ex 5)

If P(A) = 045 P(B) = 035 and A amp B are independent find P(A or B)Is A amp B disjoint

If A amp B are disjoint are they independent

Disjoint events do not happen at the same time

So if A occurs can B occur

Disjoint events are dependent

NO independent events cannot be disjoint

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) ndash P(A amp B)

How can you find the

probability of A amp B

P(A or B) = 45 + 35 - 45(35) = 06425

If independent

If a coin is flipped amp a die rolled at the same time what is the probability that you will get a tail or a number less than 3

H6

Coin is TAIL Roll is LESS THAN 3

P (heads or even) = P(tails) + P(less than 3) ndash P(tails amp less than 3)

= 12 + 13 ndash 16= 23

Flipping a coin and rolling a die are independent events

Independence also implies the events are NOT disjoint (hence the overlap)

Count T1 and T2 only once

Sample Space

Ex 7) A certain brand of light bulbs are defective five percent of the time You randomly pick a package of two such bulbs off the shelf of a store What is the probability that exactly one bulb is defective

P(exactly one) = P(D amp DC) or P(DC amp D)

= (05)(95) + (95)(05)

= 095

Ex 8) A certain brand of light bulbs are defective five percent of the time You randomly pick a package of two such bulbs off the shelf of a store What is the probability that at least one bulb is defective

P(at least one) = P(D amp DC) or P(DC amp D) or (D amp D)

= (05)(95) + (95)(05) + (05)(05)

= 0975

Example 19Management has determined that customers return 12 of the items assembled by inexperienced employees whereas only 3 of the items assembled by experienced employees are returned Due to turnover and absenteeism at an assembly plant inexperienced employees assemble 20 of the items Construct a tree diagram or a chart for this data

What is the probability that an item is returned

If an item is returned what is the probability that an inexperienced employee assembled it

Coin is TAIL Roll is LESS THAN 3

P (heads or even) = P(tails) + P(less than 3) ndash P(tails amp less than 3)

= 12 + 13 ndash 16= 23

Flipping a coin and rolling a die are independent events

Independence also implies the events are NOT disjoint (hence the overlap)

Count T1 and T2 only once

Sample Space

Ex 7) A certain brand of light bulbs are defective five percent of the time You randomly pick a package of two such bulbs off the shelf of a store What is the probability that exactly one bulb is defective

P(exactly one) = P(D amp DC) or P(DC amp D)

= (05)(95) + (95)(05)

= 095

Ex 8) A certain brand of light bulbs are defective five percent of the time You randomly pick a package of two such bulbs off the shelf of a store What is the probability that at least one bulb is defective

P(at least one) = P(D amp DC) or P(DC amp D) or (D amp D)
