PROBABILITY
PROBABILITY - a field of Mathematics that deals with CHANCE.

EXPERIMENT
- random actions or series of actions.

OUTCOME
- any of the possible result of an experiment.

EVENT
- particular
SIMPLE EVENT collection of COMPOUND EVENT
outcome
- event with - event with
only one - a subset of a more than
outcome sample space one outcome
of an
experiment.
EVENT SPACE (n)
- the outcomes in the event.

SAMPLE SPACE (N)

- a set of all possible different outcomes on experiment.

Formula:
  𝒏
𝑷 ( 𝑬 )=
𝑵
P(E) = Probability of Event
n = size of the event space (number of outcomes in the event)
N = size of the sample space (total number of possible outcomes)
EXAMPLE:
1. A game requires rolling a die. What is the probability of obtaining
a. a 5 number d. a no. greater than 2 but
b. a 6 number less than 5
c. an odd number.

a) 5 number b) 6 number
Sample Space = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} Sample Space = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Event Space = { 5 } Event Space = { 6 }

   
EXAMPLE:
1. A game requires rolling a die. What is the probability of obtaining
a. a 5 number d. a no. greater than 2 but
b. a 6 number less than 5
c. an odd number.

c) an odd number d) a no. greater than 2 but

Sample Space = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} less than 5
Sample Space = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Event Space = { 1, 3, 5 }
Event Space = { 3, 4 }
 
 
EXAMPLE:
2. A box contains 6 red marbles, 4 green marbles and 6
yellow marbles. What is the probability of obtaining
a) a green marble
b) a green or a red marble
c) not a green marble

a) a green number b) A green or a red marble

Sample Space = 6+4+6 = 16 Sample Space = 16

Event Space = 4 Event Space = 4+6 = 10

   
EXAMPLE:
2. A box contains 6 red marbles, 4 green marbles and 6
yellow marbles. What is the probability of obtaining
a) a green marble
b) a green or a red marble
c) not a green marble

c) not a green marble

Sample Space = 16

Event Space = 6+6 = 12

 
EXAMPLE:
3. In tossing a coin. Find the probability of
obtaining a
a) Head
b) Tail

a) Head b) Tail

Sample Space = 1+1 = 2 Sample Space = 1+1 = 2

Event Space = 1 Event Space = 1

   
EXAMPLE: 4. If two dice are tossed, what is the probability getting
a) two 1’s together
b) two the same numbers together
c) two odd numbers together
EXAMPLE: 4. If two dice are tossed, what is the probability getting
a) two 1’s together?

Sample Space = 6 x 6 = 36

 
EXAMPLE: 4. If two dice are tossed, what is the probability getting
b) two the same numbers together?

Sample Space = 36

Event Space = {(1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6)} = 6

 
EXAMPLE: 4. If two dice are tossed, what is the probability getting
c) two odd numbers together

Sample Space = 6 x 6 = 36

Event Space = {(1,1), (1,3), (1,5), (3,1), (3,3), (3,5), (5,1), (5,3), (5,5)} = 9
 
BOARD WORK:

drawing
1. a flower 5. a 6
2. a red card
3. a face card
4. an ace card
BOARD WORK: B. If two dice are tossed, what is the probability
6) that the sum will 5?
7) that the sum will be 3?
8) that the sum will be 4?
9) that the sum will be 3, 4 or 5?
a. a flower Sample Space = 52  

Event Space = 13

Sample Space = 52  
b. a red card
Event Space = 26

Sample Space = 52  
c. a face card
Event Space = 12

Sample Space = 52  
d. an ace card
Event Space = 4

Sample Space = 52  
e. a 6
Event Space = 4
a. the sum will be 5

Sample Space = 6 x 6 = 36
 
Event Space = {(1,4), (2,3), (3,2), (4,1)} = 4

b. the sum will be 3

Sample Space = 36
 
Event Space = {(1,2), (2,1)} = 2
c. the sum will be 4

Sample Space = 36
 
Event Space ={(3,1), (2,2), (1,3)} = 3

d. the sum will be 3, 4 or 5

Sample Space = 36  

Event Space = 2+3+4 = 9
