Dr. Ali Muqaibel

Statistically independent : the probability of one event is not affected by the occurrence of the other event, 𝑃 𝐴 𝐵 = 𝑃 𝐴 , and 𝑃(𝐵|𝐴) = 𝑃(𝐵)

What about the complement?

Comments about independence• Sufficient Condition for independence (not just

necessary) 𝑃 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 = 𝑃 𝐴 𝑃 𝐵

• Independence simplify many things “Usually assumed based on physics”.

• If 𝑃 𝐴 > 0 & 𝑃 𝐵 > 0, 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛𝑃 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 = 0 ⇒ 𝑀𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑒𝑥𝑐𝑙𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑣𝑒

𝑃 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 = 𝑃 𝐴 𝑃(𝐵) independent

• For two events to be independent 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 ≠ 𝜙, because if they are disjoint occurrence of one exclude the other.

• Example:• 𝑨 “select a king”

• 𝑩 “select a jack or queen”

• 𝑪 “select a heart”

• Find 𝑷 𝑨 ,𝑷 𝑩 , 𝑷 𝑪 , 𝑷 𝑨 ∩ 𝑩 ,𝑷 𝑨 ∩ 𝑪 , 𝑷 𝑩 ∩ 𝑪 and test dependence.

𝑃 𝐵 ∩ 𝐶 =2

52= 𝑃 𝐵 𝑃 𝐶

𝐴 is independent of 𝐶 and 𝐵 is independent of 𝐶 , but 𝐴 & 𝐵 are dependent.

1.5 Independent Events

Independence by pairs is not sufficient all combinations must be satisfied

Comments about independence of multiple events • If 𝑁 events are independent, then any one of them is independent of

any event formed by unions, intersection, and complements of the others.

𝐴1 is independent 𝐴2 => 𝐴1 is independent 𝐴2

• If independent intersection is changed to product𝑃 𝐴1 ∩ 𝐴2 ∩ 𝐴3 = 𝑃 𝐴1 𝑃 𝐴2 ∩ 𝐴3 = 𝑃 𝐴1 𝑃 𝐴2 𝑃 𝐴3

𝑃 𝐴1 ∩ 𝐴2 ∪ 𝐴3 = 𝑃 𝐴1 𝑃 𝐴2 ∪ 𝐴3• This is assuming full independence. Pairwise is not sufficient.

Example: Drawing four ace with replacement and without repleacement

With replacement 𝑃 𝐴1 ∩ 𝐴2 ∩ 𝐴3 ∩ 𝐴4 = 𝑃(𝐴1)𝑃(𝐴2) 𝑃(𝐴3) 𝑃(𝐴4) =4

52

4≈ 3.5 10−5

Without replacement 𝑃 𝐴1 ∩ 𝐴2 ∩ 𝐴3 ∩ 𝐴4 = 𝑃(𝐴1)𝑃(𝐴2|𝐴1)

𝑃(𝐴3|𝐴1 ∩ 𝐴2) 𝑃(𝐴4|𝐴1 ∩ 𝐴2 ∩ 𝐴3) =4

Dr. Ali Muqaibel 25

Combined Experiments

• Combined experiments are made of sub-experiments.

• Examples (Wind speed, pressure)

• Repeating an exp. 𝑁 times: Flipping a coin 𝑁 times.

• For two independent (𝑆1, Ω1, 𝑃1) with 𝑁 elements and (𝑆2, Ω2, 𝑃2) with 𝑀 elements, we can form a combined experiment (𝑆, Ω, 𝑃) with 𝑁𝑀elements where 𝑆 = 𝑆1 × 𝑆2 = 𝑠1, 𝑠2 , 𝑠1 ∈ 𝑆1 , 𝑠2 ∈ 𝑆2

• Example 1: 𝑆1 = 𝐻, 𝑇 , 𝑆2 = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

• 𝑆 = { 𝑇, 1 , 𝑇, 2 , 𝑇, 3 , 𝑇, 4 , 𝑇, 5 , 𝑇, 6 , 𝐻, 1 , 𝐻, 2 , 𝐻, 3 ,𝐻, 4 , 𝐻, 5 , 𝐻, 6 }

• Example 2: 𝑆1 = 𝐻, 𝑇 , 𝑆2 = 𝐻, 𝑇

• 𝑆 = 𝐻,𝐻 , 𝐻, 𝑇 , 𝑇, 𝐻 , 𝑇, 𝑇

• Events on the combined Space, 𝑠1 ∈ 𝐴, 𝑠2 ∈ 𝐵, 𝐶 = 𝐴 × 𝐵

• 𝐴 × 𝐵 = 𝐴 × 𝑆2 ∩ (𝑆1 × 𝐵)

• Stirling’s Formula: 𝑚! ≈ 2𝜋𝑚1

2𝑚𝑚𝑒−𝑚, for large 𝑚.

• Error less than 1% even for 𝑚 = 10.

• Using Stirling’s formula, De Moivre-Laplace Approximation

• 𝑁, 𝑘, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑁 − 𝑘,𝑚𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑏𝑒 𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒 , 𝑘 𝑚𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑏𝑒 𝑛𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝑁𝑝 to assure small numerator.

• If 𝑁 is very large and p is very small De Moivre-Laplace approximation fails, we can use Poisson approximation:

𝑁𝑘𝑝𝑘 1 − 𝑝 𝑁−𝑘 ≈

𝑁𝑝 𝑘𝑒−𝑁𝑝

𝑘!• 𝑁 large and 𝑝 is small.

Dr. Ali Muqaibel 31

Example: De Moivre-Laplace Approximation

• Back to the torpedoes example. Given we are firing for 3 seconds. Firing rate 2400 per minutes. Find 𝑃{𝑒𝑥𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑙𝑦 50 ℎ𝑖𝑡𝑠}

• 𝑁 = 3𝑠𝑒𝑐 ×2400𝑏𝑢𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑡𝑠/𝑚𝑖𝑛

• 𝑘 = 50, 𝑁𝑝 = 120 0.4 = 48, 𝑁 1 − 𝑝 = 120 0.6 = 72

• 𝑁, 𝑘 & 𝑁 − 𝑘 = 70 are all large. 𝑘 = 50 is near 𝑁𝑝 = 48
