1st slide:
 "Probability of Independent Events, Conditional Probability, Probability of Dependent Events"
 Group 3 (Dawis, Baal, Olarte, Baguio, Mautante, Cagabcabon)
 
2nd slide:
 Probability of Independent Events
o The probability of two independent events A and B is equals to the product of their
individual probabilities P(A) and P(B).
 
 P (A ∩ B) = P(A) ∙ P(B)
 
3rd slide:
 Example:
o A coin is tossed and a die is rolled. Find the probability of landing on the head side of the
coin and rolling a 6 on the die.
4th slide:
 Solution:
o Let C1 = event of landing on the head side of the coin
D1 = event of rolling a 6 on the die
 
o C = {H, T}, n(C) = 2
o C1 = {H}, n(C1) = 1
o D = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, n(D) = 6
o D1 = {6}, n(D1) = 1
 
P (C1 ∩ D1) = P(C1 ) ∙ P(D1)
= (C1 / C) ∙ (D1 / D)
= (1/2) ∙ (1/6)
= 1/12 <--- Answer
5th slide:
 Conditional Probability
o The conditional probability of event B occurring given that event A has occurred is
 P(B | A) = P(A∩B) / P(A), wherein P(A) ≠ 0
 
6th slide:
 Example:
o In a group of 100 sports car buyers, 40 bought alarm systems, 30 purchased bucket
seats, and 20 purchased an alarm system and bucket seats. If a car buyer is chosen at
random bought an alarm system, what is the probability they also bought bucket seats?
 
7th slide:
 Solution:
o Event A = sports car buyers who bought alarm systems
 o Event B = sports car buyers who purchased bucket seats
o P(A∩B) = probability of joint occurrence of both A and B
 
P(A) = 40/100 = 2/5 or 0.4
P(A∩B) = 20/100 = 1/5 or 0.2
 
P(B | A) = P(A∩B) / P(A)
= 0.2 / 0.4
= 0.5 or 50% <--- Answer
 
8th slide:
 Probability of Dependent Events
o The probability of two dependent events A and B, with P(A) > 0 and P(B) > 0 is
 P(A∩B) = P(A) ∙ P(B | A)
 
9th slide:
 Example:
o If we randomly select two marbles from a box that has 3 blue marbles and 7 green
marbles, what is the probability of drawing a green marble and then a blue marble,
without replacement?
 
10th slide:
 Solution:
o P(A) = 7/10
o P(B | A) = 3/9
 
P(A∩B) = P(A) ∙ P(B | A)
= (7/10) ∙ (3/9)
= 21/90 or 7/30 <--- Answer
