Topics in Mathematics of Chance

1

Basic Probability Concepts

  • Probability is expressed as a fraction where numerator = favorable outcomes and denominator = total possible outcomes
  • Probability always lies between 0 and 1 (or 0% to 100%)
  • If an event is certain to happen, probability = 1
2

Number-Based Probability

  • When dealing with numbers from 1 to n, total outcomes = n
  • For prime numbers, factors, multiples: first identify how many numbers satisfy the condition
  • Even numbers from 1 to n: there are ⌊n/2⌋ even numbers
3

Geometric Probability

  • Probability depends on areas, not just counting
  • P(point in region A) = Area of region A / Area of total region
  • Useful for problems involving shapes, regions, and continuous spaces
4

Combined Events and Pairs

  • When selecting from two sources, total outcomes = outcomes from first × outcomes from second
  • For three dice: total outcomes = 6³ = 216
  • Ordered pairs (a,b) are different from (b,a) unless specifically mentioned

Key Concepts

Probability is calculated as the ratioWhen dealing with sets of numbersIn geometric probabilityWhen events involve multiple selectionsThe probability of an event NOT
