Probability REVIEWER

Probability measures how likely an event is to occur, calculated as the number of successful outcomes over the total possible outcomes. Key concepts include experiments, outcomes, sample space, events, and operations with events such as intersection, union, and complement. The document also explains the permutation rule for arranging elements in distinct orders.

Probability

- is simply how likely an event is to happen.

Probability = Combinations Rule


the number of ways achieving success - A sample of k elements is to be chosen from a
the total number of possible outcomes set of n elements.
Experiment

- -is a process of investigation from which results


are observed or recorded.

Outcome

- possible result of an experiment

Sample Space

- it is the set of all possible outcomes for a


probability experiment or activity . It is usually
denoted by the letter S .

Event

- is the subset of all outcomes or sample space of


an experiment.

Operations with Events

I. Intersection of Events
- Two events A and B intersect if there are
elements common to both A and B.
II. Mutually Exclusive Events
- We can say that an event is mutually exclusive if
they have no elements in common.
III. Union of Events
- The set by combining the elements of two
events.
IV. Complement of an Event
- The complement of an event A with respect to S
is the set of all elements of S that are not in A
and is denoted by A’.

Probability of an Event

P (E) =

number of ways the event can occur

number of possible outcomes

or

P (E) =

n (S)

n(E)

Where,

n (S) represents number of elements in a sample


space of an experiment;

n (E) represents a number of elements in the event


set; and

P (E) represents the probability of an event.

Permutation Rule

- The arrangement of elements in a distinct order


is called permutation.
