Chapter 2 section 1: Counting Techniques

If an experiment can be described as a sequence of k steps withn1 possible outcomes on the first step, n2 possible outcomes onthe second step, and so on, then the total number of experimentaloutcomes is given by (n1)(n2) . . . (nk ).Permutations allows one to compute the number of outcomeswhen r objects are to be selected from a set of n objects wherethe order of selection is important. The number of permutations isgiven by

Pnr =

n!(n − r)!

Combinations counts the number of experimental outcomeswhen the experiment involves selecting r objects from a (usuallylarger) set of n objects. The number of combinations of n objectstaken r unordered at a time is

Cnr =

(nr

)=

n!r !(n − r)!


Chapter 2 section 2: Sets and Venn Diagrams

Notation Descriptiona ∈ A The object a is an element of the set A.A ⊆ B Set A is a subset of set B.

That is every element in A is also in B.A ⊂ B Set A is a proper subset of set B.

That is every element that is is in A is also in set B andthere is at least one element in set B that is no in set A.

A ∪ B A set of all elements that are in A or B.A ∩ B A set of all elements that are in A and B.U Called the universal set, all elements we are interested in.AC The set of all elements that are in the universal set

but are not in set A.


Chapter 2 section 3: Basic Probability Models

For any event A, the probability of A is

P(A) =number of times A occurstotal number of outcomes

.


General Rules of Probability

1. The probability P(A) of any event A satisfies 0 ≤ P(A) ≤ 1.2. If S is the sample space in a probability model, then P(S) = 1.3. Complement rule: For any event A,

P(AC) = 1− P(A)

4. General rule for addition: For any two events A and B

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B)− P(A ∩ B)

5. General rule for multiplication: For any two events A and B

P(A ∩ B) = P(A)× P(B, given A)

orP(A ∩ B) = P(B)× P(A, given B)


Chapter 2 section 4: General Probability Models

Two events are disjoint if the occurrence of one prevents the otherfrom happening.

If two events A and B are disjoint then P(A and B) = P(A∩B) = 0.

Two events are independent if the occurrence of one does notchange the probability of the other.

If two events A and B are independent then

P(A and B) = P(A ∩ B) = P(A)× P(B).

Conditional Probability: For any two events A and B, theprobability of A given B is

P(A given B) = P(A|B) =P(A ∩ B)

P(B)


Chapter 3 section 1: Random Variables

Discrete random variables has either a finite number of valuesor a countable number of values, where countable refers to thefact that there might be infinitely many values, but they result froma counting process.

Continuous random variables are random variables that canassume values corresponding to any of the points contained inone or more intervals.


Discrete Random Variable Probability Distribution

Suppose that X is a discrete random variable whose distribution is

Values of X x1 x2 x3 · · · xkProbability p1 p2 p3 · · · pk

To find the mean of the random variable X , multiply each possiblevalue by its probability, then add all the products:

µX = x1p1 + x2p2 + x3p3 + · · ·+ xkpk

The variance of a discrete random variable X is

σ2X = (x1 − µX )

2p1 + (x2 − µX )2p2 + · · ·+ (xk − µX )

The standard deviation of X is the square root of the variance

Rules for Means and Variances

If X is a random variable and a and b be are fixed numbers, such thatwe add a to X and multiply b to X , a + bX , then

The mean of a + bX changes by what is added and multiplied:

µ(a+bX) = a + bµX

The variance of a + bX changes by the square of the multipliedvalue:

σ2(a+bX) = b2σ2

X

The standard deviation of a + bX is the square root of thevariance:

σ(a+bX) =√

b2σ2X = bσX


Chapter 3 section 2: Binomial Distribution

The distribution of the count X of successes in the Binomialsetting has a Binomial probability distribution.

Where the parameters for a binomial probability distribution is:I n the number of observationsI p is the probability of a success on any one observation

The possible values of X are the whole numbers from 0 to n.

The probability of selecting k successes out of n observationsuses the formula:

P(X = k) =n Ck (p)k (1− p)n−k
