Overview

Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with uncertainty and helps us predict the likelihood of events occurring. In daily life, we often use words like 'likely', 'unlikely', 'chances', or 'may' to express uncertainty about events. The theory of probability, which began in the 16th century

Key Concepts

An experiment that has more than

An experiment that has more than one possible outcome and whose exact result cannot be predicted in advance. Examples include tossing a coin (outcomes

An event is one or more

An event is one or more outcomes of a random experiment. For example, 'getting an even number' when throwing a die is an event consisting of outcomes

The probability of an event E

The probability of an event E is defined as P(E) = (Number of outcomes favorable to E)/(Number of all possible outcomes), assuming all outcomes are eq

Key properties include

Key properties include: (1) 0 ≤ P(E) ≤ 1 for any event E, (2) P(impossible event) = 0, (3) P(certain event) = 1, (4) Sum of probabilities of all eleme

For any event E

For any event E, its complement Ē (read as 'E bar') represents the event 'not E'. The fundamental relationship is P(E) + P(Ē) = 1. For example, if P(g

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the meaning of random experiments and their outcomes
  • Differentiate between outcomes and events in probability
  • Define and calculate probability P(E) of an event E
  • Determine P(Ē) when P(E) is given using complementary events
  • Apply the fundamental property that 0 ≤ P(E) ≤ 1
