Probability • Probabilityis the numerical • measure of the likelihood • that the event will occur. • Value is between 0and 1. • Sumof the probabilities of • all mutually exclusive • events is1. 1 Certain .5 0 Impossible
Computing Probability • The Probability of an Event, E: • Each of the Outcome in the Sample Space • equally likely to occur. e.g. P() = 2/36 (There are 2 ways to get one 6 and the other 4)

Conditional Probability and Statistical Independence Conditional Probability: P(AçB) = P(A and B) = P(AêB) • P(B) Multiplication Rule: Events are Independent: P(AêB) = P(A) Or, P(A and B) = P(A) • P(B) Events A and B are Independent when the probability of one event, A is not affected by another event, B.

Discrete Probability Distribution • List ofAll Possible[ Xi, P(Xi) ]Pairs • Xi = Value of Random Variable (Outcome) • P(Xi) = Probability Associated with Value • Mutually Exclusive(No Overlap) • Collectively Exhaustive(Nothing Left Out) • 0 £P(Xi) £ 1 • SP(Xi) = 1
Binomial Probability Distributions • ‘n’ Identical Trials,e.g. 15 tosses of a coin, • 10 light bulbs taken from a warehouse • 2 Mutually Exclusive Outcomes, • e.g. heads or tails in each toss of a coin, • defective or not defective light bulbs • Constant Probabilityfor each Trial, • e.g. probability of getting a tail is the same each time we toss the coin and each light bulb has the same probability of being defective
Binomial Probability Distributions • 2 Sampling Methods: • Infinite Population Without Replacement • Finite Population With Replacement • Trials are Independent: • The Outcome of One Trial Does Not Affect the • Outcome of Another
Binomial Probability Distribution Function n ! X - X n P(X) = 1 ) p ( - p X ! ( - ) ! n X P(X) = probability that Xsuccesses given a knowledge of n and p X= number of ‘successes’ insample, (X = 0, 1, 2, ...,n) p = probability of ‘success’ n = sample size Tails in 2 Toss of Coin XP(X) 0 1/4 = .25 1 2/4 = .50 2 1/4 = .25

P ( X = x | l - l x e l x ! Poisson Distribution • Poisson Process: • Discrete Eventsin an ‘Interval’ • The Probability ofOne Successin Interval is Stable • The Probability of More than One Success in this Interval is 0 • Probability of Success is • Independentfrom Interval to • Interval • e.g. # Customers Arriving in 15 min. • # Defects Per Case of Light Bulbs.
