Probability is the mathematics of chance that enables us to predict the likelihood of uncertain occurrences and tells us the relative frequency with which we expect an event to occur. Examples : 1. The probability that it will rain in PE today is 0,3 30%. 70 70%. 100 1 3. The probability of winning the Lotto is 0, 000 007%. 13 983 816 2. The probability of contracting the flu virus is Probability can be reported as a fraction, decimal, percentage or ratio. The greater the probability, the more likely the event is to occur. Conversely, the smaller the probability, the less likely the event is to occur. In the examples there is a strong probability that you may contract the virus, a reasonable chance of rain in PE today, but almost no chance of you winning the Lotto. Terminology linked to probability To study probability in a mathematically precise way, we need special terminology and notation. An experiment is the act of making an observation or taking a measurement e.g. toss a fair coin and record whether the side up is heads or tails. An outcome is one of the possible things that can occur as a result of an experiment e.g. H (heads) and T (tails) are the two possible outcomes in the coin-tossing experiment. T h e s e t o f all p o s s i b l e o u t c o m e s is c a l l e d t h e s a m p l e s p a c e . In the coin-tossing experiment S H ;T is t h e s a m p l e s p a c e . A n e v e n t is a n y s u b s e t o f t h e s a m p l e s p a c e . Tossing a single coin in an experiment Experiment 1 : Toss a coin, and record after each trial whether the side up is heads or tails. Two possible outcomes H or T. Hence the sample space S H;T and n S 2. There are 2 2 4 events and since an event is simply a subset of the sample space the events in this experiment are , H, T and H ;T. Events in this experiment can be described in the following way: Event Description of event It is not always possible to give H T S H;T Getting heads descriptions of the different events. Getting tails Getting either heads or tails Getting neither heads nor tails Roll a pair of dice in an experiment Experiment 2 : Roll a pair six-sided dice and record, respectively,the number and number of dots showing on the top faces of the die after each trial. For this experiment, the sample space consist of 36 ordered pairs of outcomes and 236 events. The 36 ordered pairs can be illustrated graphically. Note : 5;3 & 3;5 Are different outcomes Many more such pairs! Experiment: Draw a card from a standard pack of cards Experiment 3 : A card is drawn at random from a standard deck of playing cards. See illustration of : Drawing a face card, as one of these events. For this experiment, the sample space consist of 52 outcomes and 252 4 503 599 627 370 496 events. Theoretical Probability Probability is a real number in the closed interval 0;1 that describes how likely it is that an event will occur. A probability of 0 means that an event will never occur (impossible). A probability of 1 means that an event will always occur (certain). A probability of 0,5 means that an event will occur half the time. Define theoretical probability of an event as: n E Number of outcomes in E P E Number of outcomes in S n S P 0 and P S 1 P P E P S 0 P E 1 Theoretical Probability from single coin-tossing experiment Event Description of event E 1 H Getting heads E 2 T E 3 S H ;T E4 P getting heads P E Getting tails Getting either heads or tails Getting neither heads nor tails nn ES1 1 1 50% 2 n E2 1 P getting tails P E 2 50% n S 2 P getting either heads or tails P E nnES3 2 1 100% 3 2 n E4 0 0 0 % P getting neither heads nor tails P E 4 n S 2 Theoretical Probability from rolling a single die experiment S 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6 n S 6 P getting a number smaller than 3 P getting a six P E where E 1;2 P E n E 2 1 n S 6 3 P getting aneven number P E n S 1 6 P getting a number greater than six where E 2; 4;6 P E n E 3 1 n S 6 2 n E where E 6 where E n E 0 0 n S 6 Theoretical Probability from drawing a card experiment n S 52 P drawing a diamond n E n S 13 1 52 4 P drawing either an ace or a king n E 8 2 n S 52 13 P drawing a diamond facecard n E 3 n S 52 P drawing a face card n E n S 12 3 52 13 Number of Events in Sample Space Sample Space S S a S a;b S a;b;c Events Number of Events ,a ,a,b,a;b a,b,c a;b,a;c,b;c a;b;c 1 2 0 2 nS 11 2 21 2nS 1 2 1 4 22 2nS 1 3 3 1 8 23 2nS a,b,c,d S a;b;c; d a;b,a;c,a;d,b;c,b;d,c;d a;b;c,a;b;d,a;c; d,b;c;d S 1 4 6 4 1 16 2nS Tutorial 1: Theoretical Probabilities Roll a pair six-sided dice and record, respectively, the number and number of dots showing on the top faces of the die after each trial.

Example 1 : A white ball, red ball and yellow ball are placed in a box. In an experiment a ball is randomly drawn, its color recorded and it is returned to the box. A second ball is drawn and its color recorded. What are the probability of drawing a red ball and then a white ball?

One paperclip is taken from the packet, the color recorded and then placed back in packet. Another paperclip is taken from the packet and the color recorded.What is the probability that the first paperclip is red and the second paperclip is blue? Solution : Because the first paper clip is replaced, the sample space of 12 paperclips does not change from the first to the second event.
