formula for finding probability

Introduction - In our day to day life, we come across many uncertainty of events. We wake up in the morning and check the weather report. The statement could be 'there is 60% chance of rain today'. This statement infers that the chance of rain is more than that having a dry weather. We decide upon ..

Let A and B be any two events associated with a random experiment. The probability of occurrence of event A when the event B has already occurred is called the conditional probability of A when B is given and is denoted as P(A/B..

If a trial results in n-exhaustive, mutually exclusive and equally likely cases and m of them are favourable to the occurrence of an event A, then the probability of the happening of A, denoted by P(A), is given by: P(A) = m/n. Important terms are 1. Statistical or Empirical P..

Probability of an Event - So far, we have introduced the sample of an experiment and used it to describe events. In this section, we introduce probabilities associated to the events. If a trial results in n-exhaustive, mutually exclusive and equally likely cases and m of them ar..

Let us consider the random experiment of throwing a die. Let A be the event of getting an odd number on the die. \ S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} and A = {1, 3, 5} Let B = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. If, after the die is thrown, we are given the information, that the event B has occurred, then the probability..

1. Addition Rule of Probability: If A and B are any two events, then 2. P(A C ) = 1 - P(A). 3. P( f ) = ..

If x is a discrete random variable assuming the values x 1 , x 2 , x 3 ,….,x n with probabilities p 1 , p 2 , p 3 ,…., p n respectively then (x 1 ,p 1 ), (x 2 , p 2 ),…(x n , p n ) defines a probability distribution of X. Mathematical Expectation of X ..
