• Some probability results:

For any two events A and B P (A ∪ B) = P (A) + P (B) − P (A ∩ B)

If A and B are mutually exclusive (m.e.) P (A ∩ B) = 0 and P (A ∪ B) = P (A) + P (B)

If A and B are independent P (A ∩ B) = P (A)P (B) and

P (A ∪ B) = P (A) + P (B) − P (A)P (B)

• If X ∼ B(n, p), then P (X = r) = p (1 − p)n−r , r = 0, · · · , n.

potheses):
