Sample Space
 is the set of ALL possible outcomes of an event.
List the sample space, S, for each of the following:
a. Tossing a coin.
S = {H, T}
b. Rolling a standard six-sided die.
S = {1, 2, 3 ,4, 5, 6}
c. Drawing a marble from a bag that contains two red,
three blue and one white marble.
S = {red, red, blue, blue, blue, white}

Intersection and Union of Sets
 The intersection of two sets (A  B) is the set
of all the elements in both set A AND set B.
 The union of two sets (A  B) is the set of
all the elements in set A OR set B.
 Example: Given the following sets A and B,
find A  B and A  B.
A = {1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15} B = {0,3,6,9,12,15}
A  B = {3, 9, 15}
A  B = {0, 1 , 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15}
Venn Diagram
 is a visual representation of sets and their
relationships to each other using overlapping
circles. Each circle represents a different set.
Use the Venn Diagram to answer the questions below:
A B
1. What are the elements of set A?
{1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12}
2. What are the elements of set B?
{1, 2, 4, 8, 16}
3. Why are 1, 2, and 4 in both sets?

Lesson 3: Mutually Exclusive and
Inclusive Events
Math 2 Unit 9 - Probability
Mutually Exclusive Events
 Suppose you are rolling a six-sided die. What is
the probability that you roll an odd number or
you roll a 2?
 Can these both occur at the same time? Why or why not?
 Mutually Exclusive Events (or Disjoint Events):
Two or more events that cannot occur at the
same time.
 The probability of two mutually exclusive events
occurring at the same time , P(A and B), is 0!
 Video on Mutually Exclusive Events
Probability of Mutually Exclusive Events
 To find the probability of one of two mutually
exclusive events occurring, use the following
formula:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
Examples
1. If you randomly chose one of the integers 1
 10, what is the probability of choosing
either an odd number or an even number?
 Are these mutually exclusive events? Why or why not?
 Complete the following statement:
P(odd or even) = P(_____) + P(_____)
P(odd or even) = P(odd) + P(even)
 Now fill in with numbers:
P(odd or even) = _______ + ________
P(odd or even) = 遜 + 遜 = 1
Does this answer make sense?
2. Two fair dice are rolled. What is the probability of
getting a sum less than 7 or a sum equal to 10?
Are these events mutually exclusive?
Sometimes using a table of outcomes is useful.
Complete the following table using the sums
of two dice:
Die 1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
2 3 4
3 4
4
5
6
P(getting a sum less than 7 OR sum of 10)
= P(sum less than 7) + P(sum of 10)
= 15/36 + 3/36
= 18/36
= 遜
The probability of rolling a sum less than 7 or a
sum of 10 is 遜 or 50%.
Die 1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
2 3 4 5 6 7 8
3 4 5 6 7 8 9
4 5 6 7 8 9 10
5 6 7 8 9 10 11
6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Mutually Inclusive Events
 Suppose you are rolling a six-sided die. What
is the probability that you roll an odd number
or a number less than 4?
 Can these both occur at the same time? If so, when?
 Mutually Inclusive Events: Two events that
can occur at the same time.
 Video on Mutually Inclusive Events
Probability of the Union of Two Events:
The Addition Rule
 We just saw that the formula for finding the
probability of two mutually inclusive events
can also be used for mutually exclusive events,
so lets think of it as the formula for finding
the probability of the union of two events or
the Addition Rule:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)  P(A and B)
***Use this for both Mutually Exclusive and
Inclusive events***
Examples
1. What is the probability of choosing a card from
a deck of cards that is a club or a ten?
P(choosing a club or a ten)
= P(club) + P(ten)  P(10 of clubs)
= 13/52 + 4/52  1/52
= 16/52
= 4/13 or .308
The probability of choosing a club or a ten is 4/13
or 30.8%
2. What is the probability of choosing a number
from 1 to 10 that is less than 5 or odd?
P(<5 or odd)
= P(<5) + P(odd)  P(<5 and odd)
<5 = {1,2,3,4} odd = {1,3,5,7,9}
= 4/10 + 5/10  2/10
= 7/10
The probability of choosing a number less than 5
or an odd number is 7/10 or 70%.
3. A bag contains 26 tiles with a letter on each, one
tile for each letter of the alphabet. What is the
probability of reaching into the bag and
randomly choosing a tile with one of the first 10
letters of the alphabet on it or randomly
choosing a tile with a vowel on it?
P(one of the first 10 letters or vowel)
= P(one of the first 10 letters) + P(vowel)  P(first 10
and vowel)
= 10/26 + 5/26  3/26
= 12/26 or 6/13
The probability of choosing either one of the first
10 letters or a vowel is 6/13 or 46.2%
4. A bag contains 26 tiles with a letter on each, one
tile for each letter of the alphabet. What is the
probability of reaching into the bag and
randomly choosing a tile with one of the last 5
letters of the alphabet on it or randomly
choosing a tile with a vowel on it?
P(one of the last 5 letters or vowel)
= P(one of the last 5 letters) + P(vowel)  P(last 5
and vowel)
= 5/26 + 5/26  0
= 10/26 or 5/13
The probability of choosing either one of the first
10 letters or a vowel is 5/13 or 38.5%

Conditional Probability
Conditional probability questions are done the
exact same way that regular probability question
are done, except the denominator changes
because we are looking at a smaller portion of the
entire sample space.
Example:
A regular deck of cards has 52 cards in it.
Find P(7) =
Find P(face cards from the diamonds) =
4
52
3
13
The word from is often used in
conditional probability
Two-way Tables
 A two way table is used to organize data when
there are two different variables effecting the
data.
The variables are usually not independent of
each other.
P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B|A).
Use the table to find each probability.
1. P(has HS diploma)
2. P(has experience)
3. P(has HS diploma and experience)
4. P(has experience, given has HS diploma)
Make a tree diagram
from the two-way table
HS diploma
Experience
Experience
Use the table to find each
probability.
5. P(recipient is male)
6. P(degree is a Bachelors)
7. P(recipient is female,
given that the degree is
Advanced)
8. P(degree is not an
Associates, given that
the recipient is male)
Two Way Tables
Male Female Total
Seniors 312 296
Juniors 301 334
Total
a.) What is the probability a person from this group
is male student?
b.) What is the probability of selecting a student
who is a senior from the female students?
c.) What is the probability of selecting a student
who is a female from the seniors?
d.) What is the probability of selecting a student
who is a junior and a male student?
e.) What is the probability of selecting a student
who is a junior or a male student?
End of Day 4
Factorials  the way of multiplying all the integers
from n to 1, it is denoted n!
Example:
5! = 5x4x3x2x1 = 120
We use factorials when finding out how
many possibilities there will be (the
sample space) when we are using ALL of
the choices.
How many ways can you visit all of your four
classes?
4 choices of where to go first 4x3x2x1=24
3 choices of where to go second or
2 choices of where to go third 4! = 24
1 choice of where to go last
Permutations  a counting a procedure in which
the order matters. We usually use permutations
instead of factorials when we are using only part of
the total number of items given.
Example:
You want to go visit 3 of the 8 teachers you had last
year. How many different ways can you visit those
teachers?
P(8,3) or 8 nPr 3 = 336
Book notation

Combinations
Combinations  a counting a procedure in which
the order does not matters.
If you have three items A, B, C.

you must pick 5 of them. You do not have to pick
them in any order.

The basic idea behind this is that events are either
going to happen or they are NOT going happen.

What if we want to do this problem for 10 or 20
problems? How big is out tree graph going to get?
Is this a good way to solve the problem?
The answer is an overwhelming NO! A quiz with
ten questions has 2 = 1024 different outcomes
and a 20-question quiz has 2 = 1,048,576
outcomes. I do not think we want to draw those
graphs.
So we need to use the Binomial probability
shortcut.

EXAMPLE:
Same 3 question true/false Quiz using the shortcut
Zero True : C(3,0) (1/2) (1/2)
0 3
Combinations of zero
true answers in three
questions
Probability
the answer
is true (or
event will
happen)
Probability
the answer is
false (or
event wont
happen)
Always same
Fractions add up to
1 but do not have
to be the same
Add up to 1st number
Zero True : C(3,0) (1/2) (1/2)
(3nCr0) (1/2)0 (1/2)3
0 3
This is how it looks in
the calculator
Zero: (3 nCr 0) (1/2)^0 (1/2)^3 = .125
One: (3 nCr 1) (1/2)^1 (1/2)^2 = .375
Two: (3 nCr 2) (1/2)^2 (1/2)^1 = .375
Three: (3 nCr 3) (1/2)^3 (1/2)^0 = .125
EXAMPLE:
You are rolling five dice at the same time. Make a
probability distribution table for rolling a 4. Make
sure you include each possible outcome.
Zero: (5 nCr 0) (1/6)^0 (5/6)^5 = .402
One: (5 nCr 1) (1/6)^1 (5/6)^4 = .402
Two: (5 nCr 2) (1/6)^2 (5/6)^3 = .161
Three: (5 nCr 3) (1/6)^3 (5/6)^2 = .032
Four: (5 nCr 4) (1/6)^4 (5/6)^1 = .003
Five: (5 nCr 5) (1/6)^5 (5/6)^0 = .0001
Expectations Page 324
Expectations give us the average winning losing
amount per play of the game.
Take the probability of each outcome times the payout for each outcome.
(5 nCr 0) (1/6)^0 (5/6)^5 = .402 x -10 = -4.02
(5 nCr 1) (1/6)^1 (5/6)^4 = .402 x 3 = 1.21
(5 nCr 2) (1/6)^2 (5/6)^3 = .161 x 6 = .97
(5 nCr 3) (1/6)^3 (5/6)^2 = .032 x 9 = .29
(5 nCr 4) (1/6)^4 (5/6)^1 = .003 x 12 = .04
(5 nCr 5) (1/6)^5 (5/6)^0 = .0001 x 15 = .02
Then add all products together :
-4.02+1.21+.97+.29+.04+.02 = -1.49
You get paid $3 for each time your number appears
and lose $10 for your number not appearing at all.

Complete the following statement: P(odd or even) = P(_____) + P(_____) P(odd or even) = P(odd) + P(even) Now fill in with numbers: P(odd or even) = _______ + ________ P(odd or even) = 遜 + 遜 = 1 Does this answer make sense?
  • 17. 2. Two fair dice are rolled. What is the probability of getting a sum less than 7 or a sum equal to 10? Are these events mutually exclusive? Sometimes using a table of outcomes is useful. Complete the following table using the sums of two dice: Die 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 2 3 4 3 4 4 5 6
  • 18. P(getting a sum less than 7 OR sum of 10) = P(sum less than 7) + P(sum of 10) = 15/36 + 3/36 = 18/36 = 遜 The probability of rolling a sum less than 7 or a sum of 10 is 遜 or 50%. Die 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
  • 19. Mutually Inclusive Events Suppose you are rolling a six-sided die. What is the probability that you roll an odd number or a number less than 4? Can these both occur at the same time? If so, when? Mutually Inclusive Events: Two events that can occur at the same time. Video on Mutually Inclusive Events
  • 20. Probability of the Union of Two Events: The Addition Rule We just saw that the formula for finding the probability of two mutually inclusive events can also be used for mutually exclusive events, so lets think of it as the formula for finding the probability of the union of two events or the Addition Rule: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) P(A and B) ***Use this for both Mutually Exclusive and Inclusive events***
  • 21. Examples 1. What is the probability of choosing a card from a deck of cards that is a club or a ten? P(choosing a club or a ten) = P(club) + P(ten) P(10 of clubs) = 13/52 + 4/52 1/52 = 16/52 = 4/13 or .308 The probability of choosing a club or a ten is 4/13 or 30.8%
  • 22. 2. What is the probability of choosing a number from 1 to 10 that is less than 5 or odd? P(<5 or odd) = P(<5) + P(odd) P(<5 and odd) <5 = {1,2,3,4} odd = {1,3,5,7,9} = 4/10 + 5/10 2/10 = 7/10 The probability of choosing a number less than 5 or an odd number is 7/10 or 70%.
  • 23. 3. A bag contains 26 tiles with a letter on each, one tile for each letter of the alphabet. What is the probability of reaching into the bag and randomly choosing a tile with one of the first 10 letters of the alphabet on it or randomly choosing a tile with a vowel on it? P(one of the first 10 letters or vowel) = P(one of the first 10 letters) + P(vowel) P(first 10 and vowel) = 10/26 + 5/26 3/26 = 12/26 or 6/13 The probability of choosing either one of the first 10 letters or a vowel is 6/13 or 46.2%
  • 24. 4. A bag contains 26 tiles with a letter on each, one tile for each letter of the alphabet. What is the probability of reaching into the bag and randomly choosing a tile with one of the last 5 letters of the alphabet on it or randomly choosing a tile with a vowel on it? P(one of the last 5 letters or vowel) = P(one of the last 5 letters) + P(vowel) P(last 5 and vowel) = 5/26 + 5/26 0 = 10/26 or 5/13 The probability of choosing either one of the first 10 letters or a vowel is 5/13 or 38.5%
  • 27. Conditional Probability Conditional probability questions are done the exact same way that regular probability question are done, except the denominator changes because we are looking at a smaller portion of the entire sample space. Example: A regular deck of cards has 52 cards in it. Find P(7) = Find P(face cards from the diamonds) = 4 52 3 13 The word from is often used in conditional probability
  • 28. Two-way Tables A two way table is used to organize data when there are two different variables effecting the data. The variables are usually not independent of each other. P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B|A).
  • 29. Use the table to find each probability. 1. P(has HS diploma) 2. P(has experience) 3. P(has HS diploma and experience) 4. P(has experience, given has HS diploma)
  • 30. Make a tree diagram from the two-way table HS diploma Experience Experience
  • 31. Use the table to find each probability. 5. P(recipient is male) 6. P(degree is a Bachelors) 7. P(recipient is female, given that the degree is Advanced) 8. P(degree is not an Associates, given that the recipient is male)
  • 32. Two Way Tables Male Female Total Seniors 312 296 Juniors 301 334 Total a.) What is the probability a person from this group is male student? b.) What is the probability of selecting a student who is a senior from the female students? c.) What is the probability of selecting a student who is a female from the seniors? d.) What is the probability of selecting a student who is a junior and a male student? e.) What is the probability of selecting a student who is a junior or a male student?
  • 34. Factorials the way of multiplying all the integers from n to 1, it is denoted n! Example: 5! = 5x4x3x2x1 = 120 We use factorials when finding out how many possibilities there will be (the sample space) when we are using ALL of the choices. How many ways can you visit all of your four classes? 4 choices of where to go first 4x3x2x1=24 3 choices of where to go second or 2 choices of where to go third 4! = 24 1 choice of where to go last
  • 35. Permutations a counting a procedure in which the order matters. We usually use permutations instead of factorials when we are using only part of the total number of items given. Example: You want to go visit 3 of the 8 teachers you had last year. How many different ways can you visit those teachers? P(8,3) or 8 nPr 3 = 336 Book notation for permutation Calculator notation for permutation
  • 36. Combinations Combinations a counting a procedure in which the order does not matters. If you have three items A, B, C. Permutations Combinations ABC BAC CBA equals ABC ACB BCA CAB EXAMPLE: The Lottery has 50 numbers to choose from and you must pick 5 of them. You do not have to pick them in any order. How many different outcomes are there in this lottery? 50 nCr 5 = 2,118,760
  • 37. Can the items Repeat? YES NO Use Multiplication Principle : ___ x ___ x ___ x x ___ Does the order matter? YES NO Combination n C r Are we using all the items? YES NO Permutation n P r Factorial n !
  • 43. Binomial Probability The basic idea behind this is that events are either going to happen or they are NOT going happen. EXAMPLE: 3 question true/false quiz. How many different outcomes can the quiz have? What is the probability of each of the outcomes?
  • 45. T T T T T T T F F F F F F F TTT FTF TFT TFF FTT TTF FFT FFF P (Zero True) = 1 / 8 P (One True) = 3 / 8 P (Two True) = 3 / 8 P (Three True) = 1 / 8
  • 46. T T T T T T T F F F F F F F TTT FTF TFT TFF FTT TTF FFT FFF What if we want to do this problem for 10 or 20 problems? How big is out tree graph going to get? Is this a good way to solve the problem?
  • 47. The answer is an overwhelming NO! A quiz with ten questions has 2 = 1024 different outcomes and a 20-question quiz has 2 = 1,048,576 outcomes. I do not think we want to draw those graphs. So we need to use the Binomial probability shortcut. 10 20
  • 48. EXAMPLE: Same 3 question true/false Quiz using the shortcut Zero True : C(3,0) (1/2) (1/2) 0 3 Combinations of zero true answers in three questions Probability the answer is true (or event will happen) Probability the answer is false (or event wont happen) Always same Fractions add up to 1 but do not have to be the same Add up to 1st number
  • 49. Zero True : C(3,0) (1/2) (1/2) (3nCr0) (1/2)0 (1/2)3 0 3 This is how it looks in the calculator Zero: (3 nCr 0) (1/2)^0 (1/2)^3 = .125 One: (3 nCr 1) (1/2)^1 (1/2)^2 = .375 Two: (3 nCr 2) (1/2)^2 (1/2)^1 = .375 Three: (3 nCr 3) (1/2)^3 (1/2)^0 = .125
  • 50. EXAMPLE: You are rolling five dice at the same time. Make a probability distribution table for rolling a 4. Make sure you include each possible outcome.
  • 51. Zero: (5 nCr 0) (1/6)^0 (5/6)^5 = .402 One: (5 nCr 1) (1/6)^1 (5/6)^4 = .402 Two: (5 nCr 2) (1/6)^2 (5/6)^3 = .161 Three: (5 nCr 3) (1/6)^3 (5/6)^2 = .032 Four: (5 nCr 4) (1/6)^4 (5/6)^1 = .003 Five: (5 nCr 5) (1/6)^5 (5/6)^0 = .0001
  • 52. Expectations Page 324 Expectations give us the average winning losing amount per play of the game. Take the probability of each outcome times the payout for each outcome. (5 nCr 0) (1/6)^0 (5/6)^5 = .402 x -10 = -4.02 (5 nCr 1) (1/6)^1 (5/6)^4 = .402 x 3 = 1.21 (5 nCr 2) (1/6)^2 (5/6)^3 = .161 x 6 = .97 (5 nCr 3) (1/6)^3 (5/6)^2 = .032 x 9 = .29 (5 nCr 4) (1/6)^4 (5/6)^1 = .003 x 12 = .04 (5 nCr 5) (1/6)^5 (5/6)^0 = .0001 x 15 = .02 Then add all products together : -4.02+1.21+.97+.29+.04+.02 = -1.49 You get paid $3 for each time your number appears and lose $10 for your number not appearing at all.

Editor's Notes

  • #7: Stress that intersection means AND and that union means OR
  • #10: Explain to students that the intersection is the overlap of the circles and the union is everything in both circles.
