Section 1.2 Interpretation: 1. Frequency - Number of times something occurs out of total number of things 2.

Opinion - The probability of a particular patient surviving an operation/surg ery Omega - Universal set Empty set Complement Set http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/~warren/530 pu.5@osu.edu Partition of a set: {B1, B2, ... Bn} is a partition of B iff: 1. B = B1 U B2 U ... U Bn 2. B1, B2 ... Bn are pairwise disjoint Rules: 1. P(B) >= 0 2. P(B) = P(B1) + P(B2) + ... + P(Bn) if {B1, B2, ... Bn} is a partition of B 3. P(Omega) = 1 Cardinal number of Omega is infinity. If a set is measurable only then Probablity can be defined!!! Complement rule: P(B') = 1 - P(B) If A is contained in B, P(A) <= P(B) Inclusion-exclusion rule: P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AB) --> Here AB means the s ame as A intersection B Q. A survey of a group's viewing habits reveal the following: a. 35% people watch neither A nor B b. 30% people watch A c. 40% people watch B What percent of people watch both A and B? A. 5% Example 1. 10% are rich 5% are famous 3% are rich and famous so 88% are neither rich nor famous 7% are only rich 2% are only famous Q. P (A U B) = 0.7, P(A U B') = 0.9 what is P(A)? A. 0.6
