PROBABILITY
● The chance a situation will happen / occur
● Answers will be written in– Fraction form
– Decimal form
– Percents are usual not used in Statistics, they are reserved for algebra :)

KEY TERMS
● Event– any collection of results or outcomes of a
procedure
● Simple Event – an outcome or event that cannot be further
broken down into simpler components
● Sample Space
– consists of all possible events, or outcomes

NOTATIONS
P - probability
A - specific event
a - amount in the specific event
T - sample space
t - amount in the sample space
● P(A) - probability of event A occurring

Important Principles
● The probability of event A occurring
0 ≤ P(A) ≤ 1● The probability if event A is impossible to occur
P(A) = 0● The probability if event A is certain to occur
P(A) = 1● The probability event A's complement will occur
P(A') = P(AC) = P(A) = 1 - P(A)

UNLIKELY / LIKELY
● An event is unlikely if its probability is very small, such as 0.05 or less
● An event is likely if its probability is very high, such as 0.95 or higher

UNUSUAL
● An event is unusual if the z-score is less than -2 or greater than 2.

EXAMPLE
● In a survey, 169 respondents say that they never use a credit card, 1227 say that they use it sometimes, and 2834 say that they use it frequently.
● What is the probability that a randomly selected person uses a credit card frequently?
● Is it unlikely for someone to use a credit card frequently?
