Key Concepts and Definitions:

• Probability: A measure of the likelihood of an event occurring.
• Experiment: A procedure that generates outcomes.
• Sample Space: The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment.
• Event: A subset of the sample space.
• Favorable Outcomes: The outcomes that satisfy the event.

Chapter Content:

• Summary of “PROBABILITY”:
  • Introduction to probability and its significance.
  • Understanding experiments, sample spaces, and events.
  • Calculating probabilities using the classical definition.
• Key Concepts:
  • Probability of an Event:
    • Probability (P)=Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of outcomes\text{Probability (P)} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}Probability (P)=Total number of outcomesNumber of favorable outcomes​
  • Sample Space:
    • The set of all possible outcomes (e.g., for a die, the sample space is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}).
  • Event:
    • A specific outcome or a set of outcomes (e.g., getting an even number when rolling a die).
  • Types of Events:
    • Simple Event: An event with a single outcome.
    • Compound Event: An event with more than one outcome.
    • Independent Events: Events where the occurrence of one does not affect the occurrence of another.
    • Dependent Events: Events where the occurrence of one affects the occurrence of another.
• Formulas and Properties:
  • Addition Rule: For any two events A and B,
    • P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A \cap B)P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)
  • Multiplication Rule: For any two independent events A and B,
    • P(A∩B)=P(A)×P(B)P(A \cap B) = P(A) \times P(B)P(A∩B)=P(A)×P(B)
  • Complementary Rule: The probability of the complement of an event A is
    • P(A′)=1−P(A)P(A’) = 1 – P(A)P(A′)=1−P(A)
• Applications:
  • Real-life applications of probability in fields such as statistics, finance, insurance, and risk assessment.
  • Using probability to make informed decisions and predictions in everyday scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

1. What is probability?
   • Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event occurring, calculated as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes.
2. How do you calculate the probability of an event?
   • The probability of an event is calculated using the formula Probability (P)=Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of outcomes\text{Probability (P)} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}Probability (P)=Total number of outcomesNumber of favorable outcomes​.
3. What is the difference between independent and dependent events?
   • Independent events are events where the occurrence of one does not affect the occurrence of another, while dependent events are events where the occurrence of one affects the occurrence of another.
