Takeaways

• 😀 Understanding probability begins with knowing the sample space (Ω), which is the set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment.
• 😀 An event in probability is one of the possible outcomes, and calculating probability involves determining how likely an event is to occur.
• 😀 Probability is the ratio of favorable outcomes (event) to all possible outcomes (sample space), and can be expressed as a fraction, percentage, or decimal.
• 😀 The probability of an event occurring can range from 0 (impossible event) to 1 (certain event).
• 😀 An example of calculating probability: the probability of rolling a prime number on a die is 3/6 or 50%.
• 😀 The complementary event of an event A is everything else in the sample space, and its probability is 1 minus the probability of A.
• 😀 Conditional probability involves calculating the likelihood of event A occurring given that event B has already happened, using the formula P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B).
• 😀 When calculating the probability of the union of two events (A or B), check if the events are mutually exclusive (they can't happen at the same time).
• 😀 If events A and B are mutually exclusive, the probability of their union is simply P(A) + P(B). If they are not mutually exclusive, subtract the probability of their intersection.
• 😀 Independent events are those where the occurrence of one does not affect the occurrence of the other. For independent events, the probability of both occurring is P(A ∩ B) = P(A) * P(B).
• 😀 In the case of dependent events, the probability of their intersection is adjusted using conditional probabilities, either P(A|B) or P(B|A).

Q & A

What is the sample space in probability?

The sample space, represented by the Greek letter Omega (Ω), is the set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment, where the result depends on chance. For example, when rolling a fair die, the sample space consists of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

What is an event in probability?

An event is a specific outcome or set of outcomes from the sample space. For example, in a die roll, the event of rolling a prime number is the set {2, 3, 5}.

How is probability calculated?

Probability is calculated as the ratio of favorable outcomes (the number of elements in the event set) to the total number of possible outcomes (the number of elements in the sample space).

What is the probability range for an event?

The probability of an event ranges from 0 to 1. A probability of 0 means the event will never occur, while a probability of 1 means the event will always occur.

How can probability be expressed?

Probability can be written in the form of a fraction, percentage, or decimal. For example, the probability of rolling a prime number on a die can be expressed as 3/6 (fraction), 50% (percentage), or 0.5 (decimal).

What is a complementary event?

The complementary event is everything that is not part of the original event. If event A occurs, the complementary event is the occurrence of anything else in the sample space. The probability of the complementary event is 1 minus the probability of the event A.

What is conditional probability?

Conditional probability refers to the probability of event A occurring given that event B has already occurred. It is calculated as the probability of the intersection of events A and B, divided by the probability of event B.

What is the probability of the union of two events?

The probability of the union of two events A and B is the probability that either event A or event B occurs. If the events are mutually exclusive (cannot occur simultaneously), the probability is simply the sum of the individual probabilities. If they are not mutually exclusive, the probability is the sum of the individual probabilities minus the probability of their intersection.

What are independent events in probability?

Independent events are those where the occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of the other. For example, if a coin is flipped multiple times, the result of each flip is independent of the others.

How do you calculate the probability of independent events?

For independent events, the probability of the intersection of events A and B is calculated by multiplying the probability of A by the probability of B. For example, the probability of getting heads on three consecutive coin flips is (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/8.
