Long Sample space • Sample space is a term used in mathematics to mean all possible outcomes. • Sign of sample space is Omega( Ω ) • Each of outcomes belong to this is called an element Example 1 For example, the sample space for rolling a normal dice is {1,2,3,4,5,6} as these are all the only outcomes we can obtain. The sample space for flipping a coin is {S, N}. Example 2 We could also write out the sample space for rolling two dice, but to simplify things mathematicians often use sample space diagrams. Look at this sample space diagram for rolling two dice:
we can see that
there are 36 possible he probability of getting the outcome 3,2 is 1/36 There are 2 type of Sample space:
Discrete, finite sample space Continuous, infinite sample space
Events
• In probability theory, an event is a set of outputs
(also known as a subset of the sample space) to which one will assign a real number (also called a Probability). • Symbols by capital letters: A, B, C,…
• Can be given as:
A proposition (Form: A: “…….”) A set (Form: A={……..}) Episode ∅: impossible event (referred to as zero event) Episode Ω: Certain Events
• Event A occurs in a certain trial if and only if the outcome
of that trial is an element of A (or favorable to A). Example Lets try handing a die with sample space Ω={1,2,3,4,5,6}. Identify the following events: • A: “even faces appear” • B: “face with number of dots greater than 6 appears • C: "faces with numbers smaller than 7 appear" Probability
Suppose A is an event involving a trial of only a finite
number results are likely to appear. We call the ratio is the probability of event A, denoted Property Suppose A and B are events related to an experiment with a finite number of co-occurrence outcomes. Then we have the theorem: P(∅) = 0, P(Ω) = 10 ≤ P(A) ≤ 1, for all events A. If A and B are in conflict, thenP(A ⋃ B) = P(A) + P(B) (probability addition formula) Consequence:For all events A, we have: (A−) = 1 – P(A). Steps to Calculate Probability : If event A is a subset of the sample space () Step 1: Determine () tính số phần tử n(); Step 2: Determine favorable cases of event A calculate the number of favorable cases where event A occurs is n(A); Step 3: Calculate P(A) = Example 1 Roll a evenly matched dice. Find the probability that the top of the dice has an even number of dots. Step 1:Call B be fixed on the dotted dice Step 2: Sample space() : 6 cases Step 3: The favorable outcomes of event B are 3 cases {2,4,6} Step 4: P(B ) = = = Example 2 A survey of people's interest in 3 newspapers A, B, and C in a neighborhood is as follows: 20% of people read newspaper A ; 15% of people see newspaper B ; 10% of people see newspaper C; There are 5% of people watching A and B ; 3% of people see B and C ; 4% of people watch A and C ; 2% of people watch both A and B and C a/ Calculate the probability that people will see at least one newspaper; b/ The probability that people will not see any newspapers; Example 2 Let A , B , C be the event that people see newspaper A, B, and C, respectively P(A) = 0.2; P(B) = 0.15 ; P(C) = 0,1 P(AB) = 0.05 ; P(BC) = 0.03 ; P(AC) = 0.04 ; P (0.02)
a/ Let D be the event "everyone reads at least one newspaper"
