Probability — Syllabus & Topics

Topics covered in Probability for GUJCET Mathematics.

Topics in Probability

1

Random Experiments and Sample Space

  • Random experiment: An experiment where all possible outcomes are known but the specific result cannot be predicted
  • Outcome: A possible result of a random experiment
  • Sample space (S): Set of all possible outcomes
2

Types of Events

  • Simple event: Contains exactly one sample point
  • Compound event: Contains more than one sample point
  • Impossible event: Empty set (φ), probability = 0
3

Axiomatic Definition of Probability

  • Axiom 1: 0 ≤ P(E) ≤ 1 for any event E
  • Axiom 2: P(S) = 1 (probability of sure event)
  • Axiom 3: For mutually exclusive events, P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B)
4

Addition Theorem and Union of Events

  • General addition rule: P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)
  • For mutually exclusive events: P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B)
  • For three events: P(A ∪ B ∪ C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(A ∩ B) - P(B ∩ C) - P(C ∩ A) + P(A ∩ B ∩ C)
