Probability Flashcards
What is Union and what is intersection
Union is EVERYTHING
Intersection is just middle
How to find out Union formula
Add probailities of all, then minus the probability of intersection as then you would’ve counted it twice
What is the rule for finding probability of intersection?
Multiply them both
What to do not do when calculating expected frequency!
Round to the nearest integer
If 1/10 and 75 = 7.5
Not 8
How to do hard probabilities
Use the probability of not getting something and try
What is the discrete uniform distribution ?
Where every value has the same chance of being picked
How to prove something is Independent
Find probabilities separately
Find probabilities together
Multiply separate, if they become together = independent
How to prove idnepdence using conditional
A given b is the same as a then it shows a doesn’t rely on b
If some huge venn DISGRAM with hella unknown how to solve
Make so many equations, and then filter down
Finally make one HUGE equation with all variables and now simultaneously solve, once you get one it’s easy to get all
(Or make it in terms if something and try solve like thst )
Remember in probability, if there are SEPARATE CASES what to do
Find each case prob separately, then ADD THEM UP!
Also a disguised given first student got this , prob of next student getting thst, does it acc require any conditional prob in second equations?
No it’s just saying in the tree diagram the first choice is the condition tney gave
So given that X new prob (take into account affect of thr given, maybe replacement so subtract?) is the answer for one case
If another case, ADD THE PROBABILITY AFTER CALCULATING
