Unions and Intersections
When you consider all the outcomes for either of two events, A and B, you form the union of A and B.
When you consider only the outcomes shared by both A and B, you form the intersection of A and B.
The union or intersection of two events is called the compound event.

Compound Events
To find P(A and B) you must consider what outcomes, if any, and in the intersection of A and B.
Two events are overlapping if they have one or more outcomes in common as seen in the UNION diagram.
Two events are disjoint, or mutually exclusive, if they have no outcomes in common, as shown in the 3rd diagram.

Probability of Compound Events
If A and B are any two events, then the probability of A or B is:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B)
If A and B are disjoint events, then the probability of A or B is:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

Find probability of disjoint events Let event A be selecting a 10 and event
B be selecting a face card. A has 4 outcomes and B has 12
outcomes. Because A and B are disjoint, the probability is:

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B)

Complements
The event A’, called the complement of event A, consists of all outcomes that are not in A.
The notations A’ is read “A prime or A complement”
The book uses the notation Ā for the complement and is read “A bar”.
A’ = Ā

PROBABILITIES OF INDEPENDENT AND
DEPENDENT EVENTS
![Page 28: Unions and Intersections When you consider all the outcomes for either of two events, A and B, you form the union of A and B. When you consider only](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051819/551a911e5503466b3a8b4f35/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Independent Events
Two events are independent if the occurrence of one has no effect on the occurrence of the other.
For instance, if a coin is tossed twice, the outcome of the first toss (heads or tails) has no effect on the outcome of the second toss.
![Page 29: Unions and Intersections When you consider all the outcomes for either of two events, A and B, you form the union of A and B. When you consider only](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051819/551a911e5503466b3a8b4f35/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Probability of Independent Events If A and B are independent events, then
the probability that both A and B occur is:
P(A and B) = P(A)P(B)
More generally, the probability that n independent events occur is the product of the n probabilities of the individual events.

Dependent Events
Two events are A and B are dependent events if the occurrence of one affects the occurrence of the other.
The probability that B will occur given that A has occurred is called the conditional probability of B given A and is written as P(B|A).

Comparing independent and dependent events You randomly select two cards from a
standard deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that the first card
is not a heart and the second card is a heart?Find the probability first WITH
REPLACEMENT, then WITHOUT REPLACEMENT.

Comparing independent and dependent events Let A be “the first card is not a heart”
and B be “the second card is a heart”. If you replace the first card before
selecting the second card, then A and B are independent events.
So, the probability is:
P(A and B) = P(A)P(B)
![Page 43: Unions and Intersections When you consider all the outcomes for either of two events, A and B, you form the union of A and B. When you consider only](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051819/551a911e5503466b3a8b4f35/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Comparing independent and dependent events If you do not replace the first card before
selecting the second card, the A and B are dependent events.
So, the probability is:
P(A and B) = P(A) P (B|A)
