Experiment Situation we want to study

Event A possible outcome


a head, a tail
Sample Space
Collection of all possible outcomes.

Experiment: Tossing a coin Experiment: Tossing 2 coins


P(heads) = P(2 heads) =
Sample space S = {H,T} Sample space S = {HH,HT, TH, TT}

Marginal probability = Classic probability = event / sample space

Experiment: Tossing 2 coins


P(2 heads) = 25%
Sample space S = {HH,HT, TH, TT}
N ( total number of cards ~ deck) = 52 Fair condition Find the probability of drawin
Find the probability of drawing the ace of hearts? N ( total number of cards ~ d
# aces of hearts = 1
P(ace of hearts) = 1.92% # aces = 4

Find the probability of drawing a black card?

N ( total number of cards ~ deck) = 52 Fair condition


# black cards = 26

P(a black card) = 50%


Find the probability of drawing an ace?
N ( total number of cards ~ deck) = 52 Fair condition

# aces = 4
P( 1 ace) = 7.69%
N = # of cards ~52 N = 51
P( 1st black card) 13 spades 50% P( 2nd black card) 25 black cards

A deck of 52 cards
I am going to draw 2 cards at random, assuming fair conditions
what is the probability of randomly selecting an ace or a black card?

P( 1 ace) = 0.076923
P( 1 black card) = 0.5 (includes the ace of clubs and the ace of spades)
P(2 black aces) = 0.038462

Answer 54%
Decimal %
a) P(X <= 24) 0.39 39%
b) P(X >= 40) 0.015 2%
c)
P(B ) = P( under 30) P( A ꓵ B )
P(A l B) =
P(A) = P(not yet 20) P(B)

P(under 30) = 0.68


P(A l B) = 0.187 18.7%
P( A ꓵ B ) = 0.127

d)
P(B ) = P( 35 yrs or older) P( A ꓵ B )
P(A l B) =
P(A) = P(under 40 ) P(B)

P(35 yrs or older) = 0.1


P(A l B) = 0.850 85.0%
P( A ꓵ B ) = 0.085
a) 0.387
b) 0.494
c)

P(B) = P(pr source govt program) P( A ꓵ B ) P(A l B) = 0.6984


P(A l B) =
P(A) = P(it is Medicare) P(B)

P(B) = P(pr source govt program) 0.494


P( A ꓵ B ) 0.345
