Chapter 12 Sec 1 The Counting Principle
Independent Events • An outcome is the result of a single trial. • Flipping a coin. • The set of all possible outcomes is the sample set. • An event consists of one or more outcomes. • The choices of letters on a license plate are called independent events because each letter does not affect the choices for the others.
Example 1 • A sandwich menu offers customers a choice of white, wheat, or rye bread with one spread chosen from butter, mustard, or mayo. How many different combinations of bread and spread are possible. Method 1: Tree Bread W Wh R Spread B Mu Ma B Mu Ma B Mu Ma Possible WB WMuWMaWhBWhMuWhMa RB RMuRMa There are 9 possible outcomes
Example 2 Many answering machines allow owners to call home and get their messages by entering a 3-digit code. How many codes are possible? 10 x 10 x 10 = 100 If the code is just 2 digits? 10 x 10 = 100
Dependent Events • With dependent events the outcome of one event does affect the outcome of another. • The fundamental Counting principle applies to dependent events as well.
Example 1 • Carlin wants to take 6 different classes next year. Assume that each class is offered each period, how many different schedules could he have? • When he schedules a class that class won’t be available to for the following periods. So, • Per 1 – 6 Choices Per 2 – 5 Per 3 – 4 … Per 6 – 1 • 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 or 6! = • 720 Choices
Chapter 12 Sec 2 Permutations and Combinations
Permutations • When a group of objects or people are arranged in a certain order, the arrangement is called a permutation. In permutation, the order of the objects is very important • The arrangement in a line is call linear permutation.
Permutation • Notice that is the first 4 factors of 7!. • You can rewrite this in terms of 7!.
Example 1 Eight people enter the Best Pie contest. How many ways can blue, red and green ribbons be awarded. n = 8 and r = 3 P(n, r) =
Permutation with Repetitions • How many different ways can the letters of the word BANANA be arranged? • There are 2 Ns and 3 As.
Combinations • An arrangement of objects in which order is not important is called a combination. • The number of combinations of n object take r at a time is written C(n, r) or nCr..
Example 2 Five cousins at a family reunion decide that three of them will go pick up a pizza. How many ways can they choose the three to go?
Example 3 Six cards are drawn from a standard deck of cards. How many hands consist of two hearts and four spades? Hearts - C(13,2) Spades - C(13,4)
Chapter 12 Sec 3 Probability
Probability • The probability of an event is a ratio that measures the chances of the event occurring. • A desired outcome is called a success. • Any other outcome is called a failure
The Proverbial Coin Toss When three coins are tossed, what is the probability that all three will be heads? First Coin H T 2nd Coin H T H T And 3rd H T H T H T H T Possible outcomes HHH HHT HTH HTT THH THT TTH TTT 8 Possible 1 Success and 7 Failure
Example 2 Roman has a collection of 26 books – 16 are fiction and 10 are nonfiction. He randomly chooses 8 books to take with him on vacation. What is the probability that he will chooses 4 fiction and 4 nonfiction? First determine how many ways you can get 4 of each. To find s, use the Fundamental Counting Principle 1820 x 210 = 382,200 Total of s + f SO…
Odds • Another way t measure chance is with odds. • The odds that an event will occur can be expressed as a ratio of the number of successes to the number of failures.
Example 3 According to the US National Center for Health Stats, the chances of a male born in 1990 living to be at least 65 years of age are about 3 in 4. For females, the chances are about 17 in 20. a. What are the odds of a male living to be at least 65? 3 out of 4 males will make it so successes = 3 4 – 3 will equal failures = 1 odds are 3:1 b. What are the odds of a female living to be at least 65? 17 out of 20 females will make it so successes = 17 20 – 17 will equal failures = 3 odds are 17:3
Probability Distribution • Many experiments have numerical results. • A random variable is the numerical outcome of a random event. • A probability distribution for a random variable is a function that maps the sample space to the probabilities of the outcomes. • ie The table below illustrates the probability distribution for casting a die.
Example 4 b. Use the table to find P(S = 9). What other sum has the same probability. c. What are the odds of rolling a sum of 7? a. Use the graph to determine which outcome is most likely What is the probability? • The greatest probability is and the most likely outcome is a sum of 7. • The P(9) is and the other outcome is 5. c. Identify s and f. Odds: s:f or 1:5 Suppose two dice are rolled. The table and the relative-frequency histogram show the distribution of the sum of the numbers rolled.
