3.11: Formula Review
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
3.2 Terminology.
A and B are events
P(S)=1 where S is the sample space
0≤P(A)≤1P(A∣B)=P(A∩B)P(B)
3.3 Independent and Mutually Exclusive Events
If A and B are independent, P(A∩B)=P(A)P(B),P(A∣B)=P(A) and P(B∣A)=P(B).
If A and B are mutually exclusive, P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B) and P(A∩B)=0.
3.4 Two Basic Rules of Probability.
The multiplication rule: P(A∩B)=P(A∣B)P(B)
The addition rule: P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)
