The number of combinations of n different item
is
the number of different selections of r items, each without
reference to the order or arrangement of the items in the group
Probability of failure:
1 – p/n
a. Probability of occurrence of several of a
number of mutually exclusive events is the
sum of the probabilities of the separate events
mutually exclusive : if only one of
them can occur at a time
Example: tossing a dice shows a 1 or
a 6 but not both
b. Probability of a simultaneous occurrence of
a number of independet events is the product
of the separate probabilities
Independent event: if its occurrence
doesn’t affect the prob of the
occurrence of other events
Example: tossing two dices shows
the prob of having double 6
Continuous vs discrete:
A variable is continuous if it can theoritically
assume any value between two given limits,
othewise it is discrete variable
Discrete Random Variable
Distinct and separate value.
Countable
e.g: having a head of a coin:
Head: 1
Tail: 0
possible values are 1 and 0
E(x ) = ∑ pix i
i
If a random variable x is continuous, having
prob distribution p(x),
∞
E(x ) = ∫ x p(x ) dx
−∞
µ = mean of the
or probability distribution
µ = E(x )
