Probability Flashcards
1
Q
Combined probability
P(AUB)
A
Is p(A) + p(B) every thing inside including the shared middle section. P(a) + p(b) -p(a intercept b)
2
Q
P(a intercept b)
A
The middle section
P(a) + p(b) -p(AUB)
3
Q
Mutually exclusive events
A
P( a intercept b) = 0
4
Q
Independent events
A
P(AUB) =p(a) x p(b)
5
Q
Conditional probability
A
Possibility that thing b occurs first inorder for thing b to occur. : p(a/b)
The possibility of this is p(a intercept b) over p(b)
Or
P(b/a) : p(a intercept b) over p(a)
