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

0P(A)1P(AB)=P(AB)P(B)

3.3 Independent and Mutually Exclusive Events

If A and B are independent, P(AB)=P(A)P(B),P(AB)=P(A) and P(BA)=P(B).

If A and B are mutually exclusive, P(AB)=P(A)+P(B) and P(AB)=0.

3.4 Two Basic Rules of Probability.

The multiplication rule: P(AB)=P(AB)P(B)

The addition rule: P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB)
