Overview
Probability means likelihood. It is the study of how likely something is to happen. Words such as probably, chance, chances, and most likely show uncertainty. The measure of uncertainty of an event is called Theory of Probability. A coin toss, a die throw, or choosing an item at random are common ex
Key Concepts
An outcome is a well
An outcome is a well-defined result of an experiment. For a single coin toss, head and tail are outcomes. For a die throw, the outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4
An event is the collection
An event is the collection of some favourable outcomes. For example, getting an odd number on a die throw is an event with outcomes 1, 3, and 5.
An experiment is an operation
An experiment is an operation which can produce some well-defined outcomes. Tossing a coin, throwing a die, or choosing a student at random are exampl
Empirical probability is calculated from actual
Empirical probability is calculated from actual trials. The formula is P(E) = Number of trials in which the event happened / Total number of trials. T
Two events are complementary if exactly
Two events are complementary if exactly one of them occurs. For an event E, the complementary event is E'. E' is the event when E does not occur. The
Learning Objectives
- Understand the meaning of probability and uncertainty
- Identify outcomes, events, and experiments
- Use empirical probability to find the chance of an event
- Work with examples based on coins, dice, and simple choices
- Recognize complementary events and use the relation P(E) + P(E') = 1
