    Probability of Compound Events

    Uploaded by

    Claudene Gella
    The document discusses key concepts in probability such as simple events, compound events, outcomes, and sample space. It provides examples to illustrate these concepts, such as calculating the probability of rolling a 5 on a die (1/6) and getting a 6 then a 1 when rolling two dice (2/36). The document explains that the probability of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes in the sample space.

    EXPERIMENTS
    •Activities such as rolling a die, tossing
    a coin, or randomly choosing a ball
    from a box which could be repeated
    over and over again and which have
    well defined results.
    OUTCOMES
    •The result of an expirement
    Sample space
    •The set of all outcomes in an experiment.
    event
    Event
    •Is a subset of the sample space.
    SIMPLE EVENTS

    •Consider rolling a die.


    a. “Getting a number 5” is called a
    simple event.
    b. “Getting a 6” is also a simple event.
    PROBABILITY OF SIMPLE EVENTS

    •If each of the outcomes in a sample


    space is equally likely to occur, then
    the probability of an event E,
    denoted as P(E) >is given by
    𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑟
    •𝑃 𝐸 =
    𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠
    𝑜𝑟
    𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡
    •𝑃 𝐸 =
    𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒
    COMPOUND EVENTS

    •Events which consist of more than


    one outcome.
    •Consists of two or more simple
    events.
    EXAMPLE:
    • Finding the probability of “getting a 6 and a1”
    when two dice are rolled is an event consisting of
    (1,6), (6,1) as outcomes. The first die falls in 6
    different ways and the second die also falls in 6
    different ways. Thus, using the fundamental
    counting principle, the number outcomes in the
    sample space is 6.6 or 36. the outcomes in the
    sample are: {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6),
    (2,1), (2,2), (2,3),……..,(6,5), (6,6)}.
