Introduction
What is Probability?
 Probability is the measure of the likeliness that a random event will
occur, or the knowledge upon an underlying model in figuring out
the chance that different outcomes will occur.
 By definition, probability values are between 0 and 1.
 If we flip a fair coin 3 times, what is the probability of obtaining 3
heads?
 If we throw a dice 2 times, what is the probability that the sum of
the faces is 10?

Introduction
What is Statistics?
 Statistics is a tool to get information from data.
Data
Probability
Statistics
Information
• Knowledge about the
population concerning
some particular facts
• Facts (mostly numerical),
collected from a certain
population
 Statistics is used because the underlying model that governs a
certain experiments is not known.
 All that available is a sample of some outcomes of the experiment.
 The sample is used to make inference about the probability model
that governs the experiment.
 So, a thorough understanding of probability is essential to
understand statistics.

Introduction
Branches of Statistics
 Descriptive statistics, is the branch of statistics that involves the
organization, summarization, and display of data when the
population can be enumerated completely.
 Inferential statistics, is the branch of statistics that involves
using a sample of a population to draw conclusions about the
whole population. A basic tool in the study of inferential statistics
is probability.
 Descriptive statistics: There are 45 students in the Probability
and Statistics class. Twenty are younger than 24 years old. 16 are
older than 36 years old. What can be concluded?
 Inferential statistics: As many as 860 people in a Jakarta were
questioned. People who drives bicycle daily have average age of 31
years old. For people who drives motorcycle, the average age is
21. What can be concluded?

Introduction
Steps in Inferential Statistics
 Design the experiments and collect the data.
 Organize and arrange the data to aid understanding.
 Analyze the data and draw general conclusions from data.
 Estimate the present and predict the future.
 In conducing the steps mentioned above, Statistics use the
support of Probability, which can model chance mathematically
and enables calculations of chance in complicated cases.

Sample Space
Some Terminologies
 Data: result of observation that consists of information, in the
form of counts, measurements, or responses.
 Parameter: numerical description of a population characteristics.
 Statistic: numerical description of a sample characteristics.
 Population: the collection of all outcomes, counts,
measurements, or responses that are of interest.
 Sample: a subset of a population.

Sample Space
Sample Space
 Experiment: any process that generates a set of data.
 Sample space: the set of all possible outcomes of a statistical
experiment. It is represented by the symbol S.
 Element or member: each outcome in a sample space.
Sometimes simply called a sample point.
The sample space S, of possible outcomes when a coin is tossed may
be written as
S  H , T 
where H and T correspond to “heads” and “tails”, respectively.
The sample space can be written according to the point of interest.
Consider the experiment of tossing a die. The sample space can be
S1  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
S2  even, odd

Sample Space
Sample Space
Suppose that three items are selected at random from a
manufacturing process. Each item is inspected and classified
defective, D, or nondefective, N. As we proceed along each possible
outcome, we see that the sample space is
S  DDD, DDN , DND, DNN , NDD, NDN , NND, NNN 
 Sample spaces with a large or infinite number of sample points are
best described by a statement or rule.
For example, if the possible outcomes of an experiment are the set
of cities in the world with a population over million, the sample space
is written
S   x x is a city with a population over 1 million
If S is the set of all points (x, y) on the boundary or the interior of a
circle of radius 2 with center at the origin, we write


S  ( x, y ) x 2  y 2  4

Events
Events
 Event: a subset of a sample space. We are interested in
probabilities of events.
The event A that the outcome when a die is tossed is divisible by 3 is
the subset of the sample space S1, and can be expressed as
A  3, 6
The event B that the number of defectives is greater than 1 in the
example on the previous slide can be written as
B  DDD, DDN , DND, NDD 
Given the sample space S = {t | t ≥ 0}, where t is the life in years of
a certain electronic components, then the event A that the
component fails before the end of the fifth year is the subset
A ={t|0 ≤ t < 5}.

Events
Events
 Null set: a subset that contains no elements at all. It is denoted
by the symbol .
B   x x is an even factor of 7  
 The complement of an event A with respect to S is the subset of
all elements of S that are not in A. We denote the complement of A
by the symbol A’.
Let R be the event that a red card is selected from an ordinary deck
of 52 playing cards, and let S be the entire deck. Then R’ is the
event that the card selected from the deck is not a red but a black
card.

Counting Sample Points
Counting Sample Points
 Goal: to count the number of points in the sample space without
actually enumerating each element.
 |Multiplication Rule| If an operation can be performed in n1
ways, and if for each of these a second operation can be
performed in n2 ways, then the two operations can be performed
together in n1·n2 ways.
How may sample points are in the sample space when a pair of dice
is thrown once?
n1  6, n2  6

Sam is going to assemble a computer by himself. He has the choice
of ordering chips from two brands, a hard drive from four, memory
from three and an accessory bundle from five local stores. How
many different ways can Sam order the parts?
Since n1 = 2, n2 = 4, n3 = 3, and n4 = 5,
there are n1·n2·n3·n4 = 2·4·3·5 = 120 different ways to
order the parts

How many even four-digit numbers can be formed from the digits 0,
1, 2, 5, 6, and 9 if each number can be used only once?
For even numbers, there are n1 = 3 choices for units position.
However, the thousands position cannot be 0.
If units position is 0, n1 = 1, then we have n2 = 5 choices for
thousands position, n3 = 4 for hundreds position, and n4 = 3 for tens
position. In this case, totally n1·n2·n3·n4 = 1·5·4·3 = 60 numbers.
If units position is not 0, n1 = 2, then we have n2 = 4, n3 = 4, and
n4 = 3. In this case, totally n1·n2·n3·n4 = 2·4·4·3 = 96 numbers.
The total number of even four-digit numbers can be calculated by
60 + 96 = 156.

Permutation
 A permutation is an arrangement of all or part of a set of objects.
Consider the three letters a, b, and c. There are 6 distinct
arrangements of them: abc, acb, bac, bca, cab, and cba.
There are n1 = 3 choices for the first position, then n2 = 2 for the
second, and n3 = 1 choice for the last position, giving a total
n1·n2·n3 = 3·2·1 = 6 permutations.
