How to Study Probability

A structured approach to studying Probability for BITSAT Mathematics.

Study Plan for Probability

1

Day 1–2: Learn the Theory

Study the chapter thoroughly. Note down definitions, formulas, and key concepts.

2

Day 3: Practice Problems

Solve practice questions and previous year BITSAT problems. There are 233 questions available for this chapter.

3

Day 4: Revise & Test

Revise key formulas and concepts without looking at notes. Take a practice quiz to test your understanding.

What to Focus On

  • Random experiment: Outcome cannot be predicted, but all possible outcomes are known
  • Sample space (S): Set of all possible outcomes
  • Sample point: Each individual outcome in the sample space

  • Simple event: Single outcome, like getting exactly 5 on a die
  • Compound event: Multiple outcomes, like getting an odd number
  • Impossible event (∅): Cannot occur, probability = 0

  • A' (complement): All outcomes not in A, where A ∪ A' = S
  • A ∪ B (union): Outcomes in A or B or both
  • A ∩ B (intersection): Outcomes common to both A and B

Common Mistakes to Avoid

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) always, regardless of whether events are mutually exclusive

Independent events and mutually exclusive events are the same thing

Probability of complementary event: P(A') = 1 + P(A)
