  1. The probable is what usually happens. Aristotle Chapter 6: Probability

  2. Chance experiment: any activity or situation in which there is uncertainty about which outcome will result Fate laughs at probabilities. Bulwer, Lytton E.G.

  3. Sample Space: collection of all possible outcomes of a chance experiment Roll a die S={1,2,3,4,5,6} Probability is the very guide of life. Cicero

  4. What is the sample space? 1.) Rolling 1 die 2.) Rolling 2 dice and counting the number of pips face up 3.) Toss a coin 4.) Toss a coin three times and record the results 5.) Flip a coin and roll a die S = {1,2,3,4,5,6} S = {2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12} S = {H,T} S = {HHH,HHT,HTH,THH,HTT,THT,TTH,TTT} S = {H1,H2,H3,H4,H5,H6,T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6}

  5. An event is any collection of outcomes from the sample space of a chance experiment. • Rolling a prime # E = {2,3,5} • A simple event is an event consisting of exactly one outcome. Rolling a 6: E = {6}

  6. Venn Diagrams • Used to display relationships • between events • Helpful in calculating probabilities

  7. Consists of all outcomes that are not in the event Not rolling a even # EC={1,3,5} Complement

  8. The rectangle represents the sample space and shaded area represents the event A. The shaded area represents the event not A.

  9. Union • the event A or B happening • consists of all outcomes that are in at least one of the two events • Rolling a prime # or even number E={2,3,4,5,6}

  10. Union (or) The shaded area represents the event A or B ( the union of two events).

  11. Intersection • the event A and B happening • consists of all outcomes that are in both events • Drawing a red card and a “2” • E = {2 hearts, 2 diamonds}

  12. Intersection (and) The shaded area represents the event A and B (the intersection of two sets).

  13. two events have no outcomes in common Roll a “2” or a “5” Mutually Exclusive (disjoint)

  14. Two events that have no common outcomes are said to be disjoint or mutually exclusive. A and B are disjoint events

  24. Country-Western songs emphasize three basic themes: love, prison, and trucks. A survey of the local Country-Western radio station produced the following data: 12 songs about a truck driver who is in love while in prison 2 about people in prison who are not in love and do not drive trucks 8 about people who are out of prison, are not in love, and do not drive a truck 13 about a prisoner in love 28 about a person in love 18 about a truck driver in love 16 about truck drivers who are not in prison 3 about a truck driver in prison who is not in love

  25. 12 songs about a truck driver who is in love while in prison 2 about people in prison who are not in love and do not drive trucks 8 about people who are out of prison, are not in love, and do not drive a truck 13 about a prisoner in love 28 about a person in love 18 about a truck driver in love 16 about truck drivers who are not in prison 3 about a truck driver in prison who is not in love How many songs were about: a.) truck drivers? b.) prisoners? c.) truck drivers in prison? d.) people not in prison? e.) people not in love? f.) How many songs were surveyed?
