Example 6: In a national survey conducted by the Centers of Disease Control in order to determine college students' health risk behaviors, college students were asked "How often do you wear a seatbelt with a car?" The frequencies were recorded below: RESPONSE Frequency Never 118 Rarely 249 Sometimes 345 Most of the Time 716 Always 3,093 (b) Is it unusual for a college student to never wear a seatbelt in a car? Why?

since p(never) = 3% (close enough to 0), it's unusual for a student to never wear a seatbelt.

Sample space

the collection of all possible outcomes

Complement is denoted by

A^c (but i'm lazy so i just do Ac)

(a) Suppose we grab the 1st ball out of the bag, which is a 3. Then, we leave that ball out of the bag and grab the second ball. (b) Suppose we grab the 1st ball out of the bag, which is a 3 but before grabbing the second ball, we put the 1st ball back inside the bag. Then, we grab the second ball. Q: Are the events in part (a) independent or dependent? Part (b)? Explain.

A --> dependent = 2nd ball's chance changes because the 1st ball isn't replaced. B --> independent = 2nd ball's chance is the same as the first ball.

Example 4: In 2005, 19.1% of all murder victims were between the ages of 20 and 24 years old. Also in 2005, 16.6% of all murder victims were 20-24-year-old males. What is the probability that a randomly selected murder victim in 2005 was male given that the victim is 20-24 years old?

Probability Experiment

Any process that can be repeated in which the results are certain

Law of Large Numbers

As the number of repetitions of a probability experiment increases, the proportion with which a certain outcome is observed gets closer to the probability of the outcome (??)

Practice Law of Large Numbers: Suppose that a survey is conducted in which 500 families with three children are asked to disclose the gender of their children. Based on the results of the survey, it was found that 180 families had two boys and one girl. (b) Compute the probability of having two boys and one girl in a three-child family using the classical method, assuming having a boy and having a girl are equally likely.

B < B G G < B G --- continue from there to find sample space P(2 boys & 1 girl) = 3/8 = 0.375 --> pretty darn good prediction

Example 1: Determine whether or not the following events are independent or dependent (b) E: You are late for school F: Your car runs out of gas

Dependent E ⊥̸F

Example 1: Determine whether or not the following events are independent or dependent (d) E: Earned a Doctorate degree F: Earning more than $100,000 a year after graduation

Dependent E ⊥̸F (may not be true all the time but we can assume in general)

Example 1: Determine whether or not the following events are independent or dependent (c) E: Flipping a "heads" on a coin F: Rolling a 5 on a die

E ⫫ F

if E and F are independent (symbol??)

E ⫫ F

Example 2: Suppose our experiment is rolling a fair die (c) Find the Ec if E is rolling at least a 3

Ec = {1, 2}

Example 2: Suppose our experiment is rolling a fair die (a) Find the Ec if E = {2, 5}

Ec = {1, 3, 4, 6}

Example 2: Suppose our experiment is rolling a fair die (b) Find the Ec if E is the event of rolling an odd number

Ec = {2, 4, 6}

mutually exclusive

Events that cannot occur at the same time.

The General Addition Rule --> explain how it's different from the Addition Rule for Disjoint Events

For any two events E and F P(E or F) = P(E) + P(F) - P(E ∩ F) --> subtract so values aren't double counted!!!!

Addition Rule for Disjoint Events

If E and F are disjoint (or mutually exclusive) events, then P(E or F) = P(E) + P(F)

Example of event

If our experiment is drawing a card out of a deck, then some examples of events would be drawing a red card, drawing a face card, or drawing a red face card.

Example 1: Determine whether or not the following events are independent or dependent (a) E: The battery in your cell phone is dead F: The batteries in your calculator are dead.

Independent but not mutually exclusive (can happen at the same time).

Practice Law of Large Numbers: Suppose that a survey is conducted in which 500 families with three children are asked to disclose the gender of their children. Based on the results of the survey, it was found that 180 families had two boys and one girl. (a) Estimate the probability of having two boys and one girl in a three-child family using the empirical method.

P(2 boys & 1 girl) = 180/500 = .36 = 36%

P(4 or more rooms) = 0.896

Example 3: The following probability model shows the distribution for the number of rooms in US housing units. Rooms Probability 1 0.005 2 0.011 3 0.088 4 0.183 5 0.230 6 0.204 7 0.123 8 or more 0.156 (d) What is the probability that a randomly selected housing unit has four to six (inclusive) rooms?

P(4 to 6) = P(4) + P(5) + P(6) = 0.617

General Multiplication Rule

P(A and B) = P(A) • P(B|A)

The probability that two events A and B both occur is

P(A and B) = P(A) • P(B|A)

Complement Rule of Probability

P(A) + P(Ac) = 1 OR P(A) = 1 - P(Ac) OR P(Ac) = 1 - P(A)

P(A U B) =

P(A) + P(B)

How to Calculate Conditional Probability

P(B|A) = P(A∩B) / P(A) --> B given A

Example 6: Suppose you just purchased a digital music player and have put 6 tracks on it. After listening to them you decide that you like 4 of the songs. With the random feature on your player, each of the 6 songs is played once in random order. Find the probability that among the first two songs played. b) You like neither of them.

P(D1 D2) = 2/6 • 1/5 = 2/30 = 0.07

P(D1 L2) OR P(L1 D2) (2/6 • 3/5) + (4/6 • 1/5) = 8/15 = 0.53

P(Dc • Dc • Dc) = (0.73)(0.73)(0.73) = 0.389

If E and F are independent events, then

P(E and F) = P(E) • P(F)

Multiplication Rule for Independent Events

P(E and F) = P(E) • P(F)

One way to determine if E and F are independent

P(E and F) = P(E) • P(F)

Probability of an Event

P(E) --> the likelihood of the event occurring

If computing probability using the Classical Method: - So if S is the sample space of this experiment

P(E) = N(E) / N(S) = # of outcomes in E / # of outcomes in S

If computing probability using the Classical Method: - If an experiment has a total of n equally likely outcomes and if the number of ways that an event E can occur is m, then the probability of E, P(E) is

P(E) = m / n = # of successes in E / total # of outcomes = want / have in total

Example of mutually exclusive

Suppose we are rolling a fair die and let A be the event that we roll an odd and let B be the event that we roll an even. Then, we can say events A and B are disjoint or mutually exclusive events.

Conditional Probability

The notation P(B|A) is read "the probability of event B given event A." It is the probability that the event B occurs, given that event A has already occurred.

Approximating Probabilities Using the Empirical Approach

The probability of an event E is approximately the number of times event E is observed divided by the number of repetitions of the experiment OR P(E) ≈ relative frequency of E = frequency of E/number of trials of experiment

to determine the total number of outcomes use the

counting principle (multiply the outcomes of each individual task)
