2 Suppose two six-sided die is rolled and they both land on sixes. Or a coin is flipped and it lands on heads. Or record the color of the next 20 cars to pass an intersection. These would be examples of chance experiments. Chance experiment any activity or situation in which there is uncertainty about which of two or more plausible outcomes will result.
3 Suppose a six-sided die is rolled. The possible outcomes are that the die could land with 1 dot up or 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 dots up. S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} This would be an example of a sample space. Sample space - the collection of all possible outcomes of a chance experiment
4 Suppose two coins are flipped. The sample space would be: S = {HH, HT, TH, TT} Where H = heads and T = tails H T H T H T HT
5 Suppose a six-sided die is rolled. The outcome that the die would land on an even number would be E = {2, 4, 6} This would be an example of an event. Event - any collection of outcomes (subset from the sample space of a chance experiment
6 Suppose a six-sided die is rolled. The event that the die would land on an even number would be E = {2, 4, 6} What would the event be that is the die NOT landing on an even number? E C = {1, 3, 5} This is an example of complementary events. Complement - Consists of all outcomes that are not in the event
7 These complementary events can be shown on a Venn Diagram. E = {2, 4, 6} and E C = {1, 3, 5}
8 Suppose a six-sided die is rolled. The event that the die would land on an even number would be E = {2, 4, 6} The event that the die would land on a prime number would be = {2, 3, 5} What would be the event E or happening? E or = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6} This is an example of the union of two events.
9 The union of A or B - consists of all outcomes that are in at least one of the two events, that is, in A or in B or in both. A or B A B
10 Let s revisit rolling a die and getting an even or a prime number... E or = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6} Another way to represent this is with a Venn Diagram
11 Suppose a six-sided die is rolled. The event that the die would land on an even number would be E = {2, 4, 6} The event that the die would land on a prime number would be = {2, 3, 5} What would be the event E and happening? E and = {2} This is an example of the intersection of two events.
12 The intersection of A and B - consists of all outcomes that are in both of the events A and B A B
13 Let s revisit rolling a die and getting an even or a prime number... E and = {2} To represent this with a Venn Diagram:
14 Suppose a six-sided die is rolled. Consider the following 2 events: A = {2} B = {6} On a single die roll, is it possible for A and B to happen at the same time? These events are mutually exclusive. Mutually exclusive (or disjoint events - two events have no outcomes in common; two events that NEVER happen simultaneously
15 A Venn Diagram for the roll of a six-sided die and the following two events: A = {2} B = {6}

21 What is robability? Three different approaches to probability
22 The Classical Approach When the outcomes in a sample space are equally likely, the probability of an event E, denoted by (E, is the ratio of the number of outcomes favorable to E to the total number of outcomes in the sample space. ( E favorable outcomes total outcomes Examples: flipping a coin, rolling a die, etc.
23 On some football teams, the honor of calling the toss at the beginning of the football game is determined by random selection. Suppose this week a member of the 11-player offensive team will be selected to call the toss. There are five interior linemen on the offensive team. If event L is defined as the event that an interior linemen is selected to call the toss, what is probability of L? (L = 5/11
24 Consider an archer shooting arrows at a target. The probability of getting a bulls eye should be the ratio of the area of the inner circle to the area of the entire target. What if a very experienced archer were shooting the arrows? Would the probability of a bull s eye still be the same?
25 The Relative Frequency Approach The probability of event E, denoted by (E, is defined to be the value approached by the relative frequency of occurrence of E in a very long series of trials of a chance experiment. Thus, if the number of trials is quite large, ( E number of times number of trials E occurs
26 Consider flipping a coin and recording the relative frequency of heads. When the number of coin flips is small, there is a lot of variability in the relative frequency of heads (as shown in this graph. What do you notice in the graph at the right?
27 Consider flipping a coin and recording the relative frequency of heads. The graph at the right shows the relative frequency when the coin is flipped a large number of times. What do you notice in this graph at the right?
28 Law of Large Numbers As the number of repetitions of a chance experiment increase, the chance that the relative frequency of occurrence for an event will differ from the true probability by more than any small number approaches 0.
29 The Subjective Approach robability can be interpreted as a personal measure of the strength of belief that a particular outcome will occur. Example: An airline passenger may report that her probability of being placed on standby (denied a seat due to overbooking is 0.1. She arrived at this through personal experience and observation of events.

32 roperties Continued... roperty 3. Addition If two events E and F are disjoint, (E or F = (E + (F roperty 4. Complement For any event E, (E + (not E = 1
33 robabilities of Equally Likely Outcomes Consider an experiment that can result in any one of N possible outcomes. Denote the simple events by O 1, O 2,, O N. If these simple events are equally likely to occur, then 1. 1 ( O, ( O2 N 1 N,, ( O 1 N 1 N 2. For any event E, number of outcomes in ( E N E
34 Suppose you roll a six-sided die once. Let E be the event that you roll an even number. (E = (2 or 4 or 6 = 3/6 Number of outcomes in E Over N
35 Addition Rule for Disjoint Events If events E 1, E 2,..., E k are disjoint (mutually exclusive events, then (E 1 or E 2 or... or E k = (E 1 + (E (E k In words, the probability that any of these k disjoint events occurs is the sum of the probabilities of the individual events.
36 A large auto center sells cars made by many different manufacturers. Three of these are Honda, Nissan, and Toyota. Consider a chance experiment that consist of observing the make of the next car sold. Suppose that (H = 0.25, (N = 0.18, (T = Are these disjoint events? yes (H or N or T = =.57 (not (H or N or T = =.43
37 Sometimes the knowledge that one event has occurred changes our assessment of the likelihood that another event occurs. Consider the following example: Suppose that 0.1% of all the individuals in a population have a certain disease. The presence of the disease is not discernable from appearances, but there is a screening test for the disease. Let D = the event that a person has the disease (D =.001
38 Disease example continued... Suppose that 0.1% of all the individuals in a population have a certain disease. 80% of those with positive test results actually have the disease. 20% of those with positive test results actually do NOT have the disease (false positive Let = the event that a person tests positive for the disease (D = 0.80 This is an example of conditional probability.

40 The article Chances Are You Know Someone with a Tattoo, and He s Not a Sailor (Associated ress, June 11, 2006 included results from a survey of adults aged 18 to 50. The accompanying data are consistent with summary values given in the article. At Least One Tattoo No Tattoo Totals Age Age Totals Assuming these data are representative of adult Americans and that an adult is selected at random, use the given information to estimate the following probabilities.
41 Tattoo Example Continued... At Least One Tattoo No Tattoo Totals Age Age Totals What is the probability that a randomly selected adult has a tattoo? (tattoo = 24/100 = 0.24
42 Tattoo Example Continued... At Least One Tattoo No Tattoo Totals Age Age Totals What is the probability that a randomly selected adult has a tattoo if they are between 18 and 29 years old? (tattoo age = 18/50 = 0.36
43 Tattoo Example Continued... At Least One Tattoo No Tattoo Totals Age Age Totals What is the probability that a randomly selected adult is between 18 and 29 years old if they have a tattoo? (age tattoo = 18/24 = 0.75
44 Sometimes the knowledge that one event has occurred does NOT change our assessment of the likelihood that another event occurs. Consider the genetic trait, hitch hiker s thumb, which is the ability to bend the last joint of the thumb back at an angle of 60 or more. Whether or not an offspring has hitch hiker s thumb is determined by two random events: which gene is contributed by the father and which gene is contributed by the mother. Which gene is contributed by the father does NOT affect which gene is contributed by the mother These are independent events.
45 Let s consider a bank that offers different types of loans: The bank offers both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans on single-family dwellings, condominiums and multifamily dwellings. The following table, called a jointprobability table, displays probabilities based upon the bank s long-run loaning practices. Single Family Condo Multifamily Total Adjustable Fixed Total (Adjustable loan =.70
46 Bank Loan s Continued... Single Family Condo Multifamily Total Adjustable Fixed Total (Adjustable loan =.70 (Adjustable loan Condo =.21/.30 =.70 Knowing that the loan is for a condominium does not change the probability that it is an adjustable-rate loan. Therefore, the event that a randomly selected loan is adjustable and the event that a randomly selected loan is for a condo are independent.
47 Independent Events Two events are independent if knowing that one will occur (or has occurred does not change the probability that the other occurs. Two events, E and F, are said to be independent if (E F = (E. If (E F = (E, it is also true that (F E = (F.
48 Multiplication Rule for Two Independent Events Two events E and F are independent, if and only if, (E F (E (F
49 Hitch Hiker s Thumb Revisited Suppose that there is a 0.10 probability that a parent will pass along the hitch hiker s thumb gene to their offspring. What is the probability that a child will have a hitch hiker s thumb? (H+ from mom AND H+ from dad = = 0.01
50 Multiplication Rule for k Independent Events Events E 1, E 2,..., E k are independent if knowledge that some number of the events have occurred does not change the probabilities that any particular one or more of the other events occurred. ( E E2... E ( E1 ( E2... ( E 1 k k This relationship remains valid if one or more of the events are replaced by their complement (not E.
51 Suppose that a desktop computer system consist of a monitor, a mouse, a keyboard, the computer processor itself, and storage devices such as a disk drive. Most computer system problems due to manufacturer defects occur soon in the system s lifetime. urchasers of new computer systems are advised to turn their computers on as soon as they are purchased and then to let the computer run for a few hours to see if any problems occur. Let E 1 = event that a newly purchased monitor is not defective E 2 = event that a newly purchased mouse is not defective E 3 = event that a newly purchased disk drive is not defective E 4 = event that a newly purchased processor is not defective Suppose the four events are independent with (E 1 = (E 2 =.98 (E 3 =.94 (E 4 =.99

54 Suppose I will pick two cards from a standard deck. This can be done two ways: 1ick a card at random, replace the card, then pick a second card 2 ick a card at random, do NOT replace, then pick a second card. If I pick two cards from a standard deck without replacement, what is the probability that I select two spades? Are the events E 1 = first card is a spade and E 2 = second card is a spade independent? NO
55 Suppose the manufacturer of a certain brand of light bulbs made 10,000 of these bulbs and 500 are defective. You randomly pick a package of two such bulbs off the shelf of a store. What is the probability that both bulbs are defective? Are the events E 1 = the first bulb is defective and E 2 = the second bulb is defective independent? What would be the probability of selecting a defective light bulb? 500/10,000 =.05
56 Light Bulbs Continued... What would be the probability of selecting a defective light bulb? 500/10,000 =.05 Having selected one defective bulb, what is the probability of selecting another without replacement? 499/9999 =.0499

66 An electronics store sells DVD players made by one of two brands. Customers can also purchase extended warranties for the DVD player. The following probabilities are given: Let B 1 = event that brand 1 is purchased B 2 = event that brand 2 is purchased E = event that extended warranty is purchased (B 1 =.7 (B 2 =.3 (E B 1 =.2 (E B 2 =.4 If a DVD customer is selected at random, what is the probability that they purchased the extended warranty?

71 Lyme s disease is the leading tick-borne disease in the United States and England. Diagnosis of the disease is difficult and is aided by a test that detects particular antibodies in the blood. The article, Laboratory Consideration in the Diagnosis and Management of Lyme Borreliosis, American Journal of Clinical athology, 1993, used the following notations: + represents a positive result on a blood test - represents a negative result on a blood test L represents the patient actually has Lymes L C represents the patient doesn t have Lymes The article gave the following probabilities: (L = (L C = (+ L =.937 (- L =.063 (+ L C =.03 (- L C =.97

75 Estimating robabilities using Simulation
76 Simulation 1. Design a method that uses a random mechanism (such as a random number generator or table, tossing a coin or die, etc. to represent an observation. Be sure that the important characteristics of the actual process are preserved. 2. Generate an observation using the method in step 1 and determine if the outcome of interest has occurred. 3. Repeat step 2 a large number of times 4. Calculate the estimated probability by dividing the number of observations of the outcome of interest by the total number of observations generated.
77 Suppose that couples who wanted children were to continue having children until a boy was born. Would this change the proportion of boys in the population? We will use simulation to estimate the proportion of boys in the population if couples were to continue having children until a boy was born. 1 We will use a single-random digit to represent a child, where odd digits represent a male birth and even digits represent a female birth. 2 Select random digits from a random digit table until a male is selected and record the number of boys and girls. 3 Repeat step 2 a large number of times.
