  1. Chapter 5. A Survey Of Probability Concepts Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  2. What Is A Probability? • The weather forecaster announces that there is a 70 percent chance of rain for Super Bowl Sunday. • Probability: A value between zero and one, inclusive, describing the relative possibility (chance or likelihood) an event will occur. Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  3. What Is A Probability? (continued) • The probability of 1 represents something that is certain to happen. • The probability of 0 represents something that cannot happen. Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  4. What Is A Probability? (continued) • Three key words to study probability: 1. Experiment. A process that leads to occurrence of one and only one of several possible observations. 2. Outcome. A particular result of an experiment. 3. Event. A collection of one or more outcomes of an experiment. Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  5. Example Page 141 Experiment: Roll a die All possible outcome: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Some possible outcome: - Observe an even number. - Observe a number greater than 4. - Observe a number 3 or less. Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  6. Approach To Assigning Probabilities • Two approach: 1. Objective probability. 2. Subjective probability. Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  7. Approach To Assigning Probabilities (continued) Objective probability is subdivided into: • Classical probability. • Empirical probability. Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  8. Approach To Assigning Probabilities (continued) Classical probability: - assumption: the outcomes of an experiment are equally likely. - Equation 5-1 Page 142. Classical Probability Probability of an event = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of possible outcome) Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  9. Example Page 142 Consider an experiment of rolling a six sided die. What is the probability of the event “an even number of spots appear face up”? The possible outcome - A one spot - A two spot - A three spot - A four spot - A five spot - A six spot Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  10. Example Page 142 (continued) There are three favorable outcomes: - A two - A four - A six Probability of an even number: 3 / 6 = 0.5 Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  11. Approach To Assigning Probabilities (continued) Empirical probability: - The probability of an event happening is the fraction of the time similar events happened in the past. Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  12. Example Page 144 On February 1, 2003, the space shuttle Columbia exploded. This was the second disaster in 113 space missions for NASA. On the basis of this information, what is the probability that a future mission is successfully completed? A = a future mission is successfully completed Probability of a successful flight: (number of successful flight) / (total number of flight) P(A) = 111 / 113 = 0.98 Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  13. Some Rules For Computing Probabilities • Rules of addition: - the events must be mutually exclusive (when one event occurs, none of the other events can occur at the same time). - Equation 5-2 Page 147. P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) P(A or B or C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  14. Some Rules For Computing Probabilities Example Page 147 and 148. An automatic Shaw machine fills plastic bags with a mixture of beans, broccoli, and other vegetables. Most of the bags contain the correct weight, but because of the variation in the size of the beans and other vegetables, a package might be underweight or overweight. A check of 4000 packages filled in the past month revealed. Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  15. Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  16. * What is the probability that a particular package will be either underweight or overweight? P (A or C) = P(A) + P(C) = 0.025 + 0.075 = 0.10 Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  17. Venn Diagram Represents The Mutually Exclusive Event A Event C Event B Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  18. Complement RuleP(A) = 1 – P(-A) Event A -A Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  19. Some Rules For Computing Probabilities (continued) • Joint probability (not mutually exclusive): - A probability that measures the likelihood two or more events will happen concurrently. P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B) Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  20. Example What is the probability that a card chosen at from a standard deck of cards will be either a king or heart? A deck of card is 52 cards A king, there are 4 cards (A) A heart, there are 13 cards (B) King…………………...P(A): 4/52 Heart……….…………P(B): 13/52 King of Heart…………P(A and B): 1/52 Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  21. Example (continued) P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B) = 4/52 + 13/52 - 1/52 = 16/52 Figure Page 151 Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  22. Some Rules For Computing Probabilities (continued) • Special rule of multiplication (independence): - Two events A and B are independent. - Two events are independent if the occurrence of one event does not alter the probability of the occurrence of the other event. P(A and B) = P(A) P(B) P(A and B and C)= P(A) P(B) P(C) Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  23. Example A survey by the American Automobile Association (AAA) revealed 60 percent of its members made airline reservations last year. Two members are selected at random. What is the probability both made airline reservations last year? Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  24. Example (continued) R1 = the first member made an airline reservation last year R2 = the second member made an airline reservation last year Assuming R1 and R2 are independent P(R1) = 0.6 P(R2) = 0.6 P(R1 and R2) = P(R1) P(R2) = (0.6) (0.6) = 0.36 Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  25. Some Rules For Computing Probabilities (continued) • General rule of multiplication (not independent): - Two events are not independent, they are referred to as dependent. - Conditional probability, the probability of a particular event occurring, given that another event has occurred. P(A and B) = P(A) P(B I A) Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  26. Example A golfer has 12 golf shirts in his closed. Suppose 9 of these shirts are white and the others are blue. He gets dressed in the dark, so he just grabs a shirt and puts it on. He plays golf two days in a row and does not do laundry. What is the likelihood both shirts selected are white? Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  27. Example (continued) W1 = the event that the first selected is white P(W1) = 9/12 W2 = the event that the second selected is white P(W2 I W1) = the conditional probability Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  28. Contingency Tables • Contingency tables A table used to classify sample observations according to two or more identifiable characteristics. Example Page 156. Example P Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  29. Tree Diagrams • A graph that is helpful in organizing calculations that involve several stages. • Each segment in the tree is one stage of problem. • The branches of a tree diagram are weighted by probabilities. Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  30. Tree Diagrams (continued) • Example: Table 5-1 Page 157 (Lind) Chart 5-2 Page 159 (Lind) Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  31. Principles Of Counting • The Multiplication Formula: if there are “m” ways doing one thing and “n” ways of doing another thing, there are “m x n” ways of doing both. Equation 5-8 Page 165 (Lind) Example: Page 165 and 166 (Lind) Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  32. Principles Of Counting (continued) • The Permutation Formula: any arrangement of r objects selected from a single group of n possible objects. The order is very important. Equation 5-9 Page 167 (Lind). Example: Page 167 (Lind) Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D

  33. Principles Of Counting (continued) • The Combination Formula: the number of r object combinations from a set of n objects. Order of the selected is not important. Equation 5-10 Page 168 (Lind). Example: Page 168 (Lind) Ir.Muhril Ardiansyah,M.Sc.,Ph.D
