Probability as a general concept can be defined as the chance
of an event occurring.
Probability theory is used in the field of insurance,
investment, weather forecasting and various other areas.
The concept of probability is frequently encountered in
everyday communication. Example, A physician.
Most people express probabilities in terms ofpercentages.
But, it is more convenient to express probabilities asfractions. Thus, we may measure the probability of the
occurrence of some event by a number between 0 and 1.

Experiment a situation involving chance or
probability that leads to results.
Outcomes - the result of a single trial of an
experiment.
Sample space The collection of all possible
outcomes for an experiment.

For example, in the rolling of the die, each of the six sides is equally
likely to be observed. So, the probability that a 4 will be observed isequal to 1/6.

It is an approximation to the true probability of an event.However, if we were able to perform our process more and moretimes, the relative frequency will eventually approach the actualprobability.
P(E) = m/N.The example : If we tossed the two dice 100 times, 200 times,300 times, and so on, we would observe that the proportion of
6's would eventually settle down to the true probability.
an individual's personal judgment about whether a specific
outcome is likely to occur. Subjective probabilities contain noformal calculations and only reflect the subject's opinions andpast experience.The example: A Rangers supporter might say, "I believe thatRangers have probability of 0.9 of winning the Scottish Premier
Division this year since they have been playing really well."

Given some process (or experiment) with n mutually exclusiveevents E1, E2, , En, then
1- P (Ei) 0, i = 1, 2, n2- P (E1) + P (E2) + + P (En) = 1
A B means A or B.
Let S = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10},A be choosing an odd number > 2,then A = {3,5,7,9}, P(A) = 0.4 andB be choosing a number divisible by 3,then B = {3,6,9}, P(B) = 0.3.
A B = {3,5,6,7,9} and P(A B) = 0.5.

A B means A and B.
In the above example, A = {3,5,7,9},
and B = {3,6,9}, then
A B = {3,9} and P(A B) = 0.2.

A` means the complement of A, where
A A` = S and A A` =.
In the above example,B = {3,6,9}, P(B) = 0.3, thenB` = {1,2,4,5,7,8,10} and P(B`) = 0.7.

1- A and B are called disjoint if A B = , and then P(A B) = 0 and P(A B) = P(A) + P(B).
if A is choosing an odd number < 11,A = {1,3,5,7,9} andB is choosing an even number < 11,B = {2,4,6,8,10}.
Then P(A B) = 0 and P(A B) = P(A) + P(B) = 1.
2- If A and B are not disjoint, thenP(A B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A B)
if A is choosing a number divisible by 5A = {5,10} andB is choosing an even number < 11,B = {2,4,6,8,10}.
Then P(A B) = 0.1 andP(A B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A B) = 0.6.

Events are mutually exclusive if they cannot
happen at the same time.
For example, if we toss a coin, either heads or
tails might turn up, but not heads and tails at
the same time.
Similarly, in a single throw of a die, we can
only have one number shown at the top face.
The numbers on the face are mutually
exclusive events

IfA and B are mutually exclusiveevents then the probability ofA
happening OR the probability ofB
happening is P(A) + P(B).
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

Probability of an event or outcome based on the occurrence of aprevious event or outcome. Conditional probability is
calculated by multiplying the probability of the preceding
event by the updated probability of the succeeding event.
If A and B are events with P(A) 0, then the
conditional probability of B given A is defined by

tosses come up heads given that at least two of the tosses come
up heads? Conditional probability of

Events are independent if the outcome of oneevent does not affect the outcome of another.For example, if you throw a die and a coin, the
number on the die does not affect whetherthe result you get on the coin.
IfA and B are independent events, then theprobability ofA happening AND theprobability ofB happening is P(A) P(B).
P(A and B) = P(A) P(B)
