  1. Chapter 15Probability Rules!

    General Addition Rule Conditional Probability
  2. Recall… for any Random phenomenon each trial generates an outcome An event is a set of outcomes The collection of all possible outcomes is called the SAMPLE SPACE (S)
  3. Sample Space List the sample space and tell whether you think they are equally as likely Toss 2 coins; record the order of heads and tails A family has 3 children; record the number of boys Flip a coin until you get a head or 3 consecutive tails Roll two dice; record the larger number
  4. Drawing Venn Diagrams Real Estate ads suggest that 64% of homes for sale have garages, 21% have swimming pools, and 17% have both features. What is the probability that a home for sale has a pool or a garage? neither a pool nor a garage? a pool but no garage?
  5. General Addition Rule Does NOT require disjoint events
  6. Conditional Probabilities A Gallup survey of June 2004 asked 1005 U.S. adults who they think better fits their idea of what a first lady should be, Laura Bush or Hillary Clinton. What is the probability that the person thought Laura Bush best fits their first lady ideals? What is the probability that the person is younger than 50? What is the probability that the person is younger than 50 and thinks Clinton is a better fit? What is the probability that the person is younger than 50 or thinks Clinton is a better fit?
  7. Conditional Probability “The probability of B given A”
