20 Chapter 2 section 1: Counting Techniques If an experiment can be described as a sequence of k steps with n 1 possible outcomes on the first step, n 2 possible outcomes on the second step, and so on, then the total number of experimental outcomes is given by (n 1 )(n 2 )... (n k ). Permutations allows one to compute the number of outcomes when r objects are to be selected from a set of n objects where the order of selection is important. The number of permutations is given by Pr n n! = (n r)! Combinations counts the number of experimental outcomes when the experiment involves selecting r objects from a (usually larger) set of n objects. The number of combinations of n objects taken r unordered at a time is ( ) n Cr n = = r n! r!(n r)!

A B Set A is a proper subset of set B. That is every element that is is in A is also in set B and there is at least one element in set B that is no in set A. A B A set of all elements that are in A or B. A B A set of all elements that are in A and B. U Called the universal set, all elements we are interested in. A C The set of all elements that are in the universal set but are not in set A.

22 Chapter 2 section 3: Basic Probability Models For any event A, the probability of A is P(A) = number of times A occurs total number of outcomes. Cathy Poliak, Ph.D. cathy@math.uh.edu Office in Fleming 11c (Department Reveiw of Mathematics University of Houston Exam 1 ) Review 21 / 28

23 General Rules of Probability 1. The probability P(A) of any event A satisfies 0 P(A) If S is the sample space in a probability model, then P(S) = Complement rule: For any event A, P(A C ) = 1 P(A) 4. General rule for addition: For any two events A and B P(A B) = P(A) + P(B) P(A B) 5. General rule for multiplication: For any two events A and B P(A B) = P(A) P(B, given A) or P(A B) = P(B) P(A, given B) Cathy Poliak, Ph.D. cathy@math.uh.edu Office in Fleming 11c (Department Reveiw of Mathematics University of Houston Exam 1 ) Review 22 / 28

24 Chapter 2 section 4: General Probability Models Two events are disjoint if the occurrence of one prevents the other from happening. If two events A and B are disjoint then P(A and B) = P(A B) = 0. Two events are independent if the occurrence of one does not change the probability of the other. If two events A and B are independent then P(A and B) = P(A B) = P(A) P(B). Conditional Probability: For any two events A and B, the probability of A given B is P(A given B) = P(A B) = P(A B) P(B) Cathy Poliak, Ph.D. cathy@math.uh.edu Office in Fleming 11c (Department Reveiw of Mathematics University of Houston Exam 1 ) Review 23 / 28

25 Chapter 3 section 1: Random Variables Discrete random variables has either a finite number of values or a countable number of values, where countable refers to the fact that there might be infinitely many values, but they result from a counting process. Continuous random variables are random variables that can assume values corresponding to any of the points contained in one or more intervals. Cathy Poliak, Ph.D. cathy@math.uh.edu Office in Fleming 11c (Department Reveiw of Mathematics University of Houston Exam 1 ) Review 24 / 28

26 Discrete Random Variable Probability Distribution Suppose that X is a discrete random variable whose distribution is Values of X x 1 x 2 x 3 x k Probability p 1 p 2 p 3 p k To find the mean of the random variable X, multiply each possible value by its probability, then add all the products: µ X = x 1 p 1 + x 2 p 2 + x 3 p x k p k k = x i p i. i=1 The variance of a discrete random variable X is σx 2 = (x 1 µ X ) 2 p 1 + (x 2 µ X ) 2 p (x k µ X ) 2 p k k = (x i µ X ) 2 p i i=1 The standard deviation of X is the square root of the variance σ = σ 2. Cathy Poliak, Ph.D. cathy@math.uh.edu Office in Fleming 11c (Department Reveiw of Mathematics University of Houston Exam 1 ) Review 25 / 28

27 Rules for Means and Variances If X is a random variable and a and b be are fixed numbers, such that we add a to X and multiply b to X, a + bx, then The mean of a + bx changes by what is added and multiplied: µ (a+bx) = a + bµ X The variance of a + bx changes by the square of the multiplied value: σ 2 (a+bx) = b2 σ 2 X The standard deviation of a + bx is the square root of the variance: σ (a+bx) = b 2 σx 2 = bσ X Cathy Poliak, Ph.D. cathy@math.uh.edu Office in Fleming 11c (Department Reveiw of Mathematics University of Houston Exam 1 ) Review 26 / 28

28 Chapter 3 section 2: Binomial Distribution The distribution of the count X of successes in the Binomial setting has a Binomial probability distribution. Where the parameters for a binomial probability distribution is: n the number of observations p is the probability of a success on any one observation The possible values of X are the whole numbers from 0 to n. The probability of selecting k successes out of n observations uses the formula: P(X = k) = n C k (p) k (1 p) n k Cathy Poliak, Ph.D. cathy@math.uh.edu Office in Fleming 11c (Department Reveiw of Mathematics University of Houston Exam 1 ) Review 27 / 28
