Random CircumstancesA random circumstance
is one in which the outcome is unpredictable.
Test results are positive, but does that guarantee the person has the disease.
Someone’s name in class will be drawn to answer a question.

Flipping a CoinWhat are the outcomes
when flipping a fair coin?
What is the likelihood of each event?
If we flip the coin again, does the result of the first flip influence the result of the 2nd flip?

Rolling a dieWhat are the possible
outcomes when rolling a fair die?
What is the likelihood of each of the outcomes?
What is the sum of all the events’ probabilities?
If we rolled the die 600 times, what type of distribution would we see? Sketch graph.

Conditions for Valid Probabilities
Each probability of an event has value from 0 to 1.
P(tails) = .5
P(roll a 4) = 1/6
P(today is Friday) = _?_
Sum of all probabilities of events in a sample space is 1.
P(heads) + P(tails) = 1

More VocabularyComplementary Events:
compliment of event A is AC, because
P(A) + P(AC) = 1
Mutually Exclusive Events: 2 events are disjoint because they do not contain any of the same events and can not occur simultaneously.
Complimentary event of obtaining tails when flipping a coin is the event of obtaining heads.
The set of events where all lottery digits are the same is mutually exclusive of the set of events of the first and last lottery digits being different.

More VocabularyRolling a fair dice is an example
of independent events. Knowledge of what the first roll was has no influence on the next roll.
If I were to randomly select students in class of 100 students without replacement, the probability of you being selected changes with each name called. 1/100, 1/99, 1/98,…0.
Independent Events: knowing one event has occurred does not change the probability of the other event occurring.
Dependent Events: knowing one event has occurred changes the probability of the other event occurring. Conditional Probability

Independent Events
P( 6 and 6) = P(6)P(6)
= (1/6)(1/6)
= 1/36

Dependent Events
P( 7and 6 w/no replacement) == P(7 )P(6 given 7 was drawn)= (1/52)(1/51)

Conditional Probability
Find the probability of drawing a red ball out of a box containing 3 red, 4 blue, and 1 white GIVEN that a blue ball has been drawn and not replaced.
P(R|B) = 3/7

Addition Rule
Find the probability that you draw either an ace or a red card.
P(Ace or Red) = P(Ace) + P(Red) – P(Red Ace)
= (4/52) + (26/52) – (2/52)
= 28/52
Mutually exclusive (Disjoint): P(A & B) = 0

If A & B are independent, then P(A&B)=P(A)P(B)
Conditional: If A & B are dependent, then P(A&B)=P(A)P(B given A occurred)
P(A&B) = P(A)P(B|A)
