Slide 1: Probability

• Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with analyzing the likelihood and uncertainty of events.
• It helps us understand the chances of various outcomes and make decisions based on that information.
• Probability is measured on a scale from 0 to 1, where 0 indicates impossibility and 1 represents certainty.

Slide 2: Basic Concepts of Probability

• Sample Space: The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment is called the sample space, denoted by S.
• Event: An event is a subset of the sample space.
• Probability of an Event: The probability of an event A is denoted by P(A) and is the likelihood of event A occurring.
• P(A) lies between 0 and 1, where 0 ≤ P(A) ≤ 1.

Slide 3: Probability Formula

• For any event A, P(A) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes.
• Probability can also be represented as a fraction, decimal or percentage.

Slide 4: Mutually Exclusive Events

• Mutually Exclusive Events: Two or more events are said to be mutually exclusive if they cannot occur simultaneously.
• If A and B are mutually exclusive, then P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B).

Slide 5: Independent Events

• Independent Events: Two events A and B are said to be independent if the occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of the other event.
• If A and B are independent events, then P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B).

Slide 6: Dependent Events

• Dependent Events: Two events A and B are said to be dependent if the occurrence of one event affects the probability of the other event.
• If A and B are dependent events, the probability of A and B occurring together is given by P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B|A).

Slide 7: Permutation

• Permutation is an arrangement of objects in a specific order.
• The number of permutations of n objects taken r at a time is given by nPr = n! / (n-r)! where n ≥ r.

Slide 8: Example: Permutation

• What is the number of ways to arrange 4 students in a line if they can stand in any order?
• Solution: Here, n = 4 (number of students) and r = 4 (all students need to be arranged).
  • Number of permutations = 4P4 = 4! / (4-4)! = 4! / 0! = 4! = 24.
• There are 24 ways to arrange the 4 students.

Slide 9: Combination

• Combination is a selection of objects without considering the order.
• The number of combinations of n objects taken r at a time is given by nCr = n! / (r!(n-r)!) where n ≥ r.

Slide 10: Example: Combination

• A committee of 3 members is to be formed from a group of 8 students. How many different committees can be formed?
• Solution: Here, n = 8 (number of students) and r = 3 (committee members to be chosen).
  • Number of combinations = 8C3 = 8! / (3!(8-3)!) = 8! / (3!5!) = (8 x 7 x 6) / (3 x 2 x 1) = 56.
• There are 56 different committees that can be formed.

Slide 11: Probability – Examples for finding number of ways of arranging

• Example 1: In how many ways can the letters of the word “MATHS” be arranged?
  • Solution: The word “MATHS” has 5 letters.
    • Number of arrangements = 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120.
• Example 2: How many different ways can the letters of the word “APPLE” be arranged?
  • Solution: The word “APPLE” has 5 letters.
    • Number of arrangements = 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120.

Slide 12: Probability – Examples for finding the number of combinations

• Example 1: In how many ways can a committee of 2 students be chosen from a group of 6 students?
  • Solution: We need to find 6C2.
    • Number of combinations = 6C2 = 6! / (2!(6-2)!) = (6 × 5) / (2 × 1) = 15.
• Example 2: How many different combinations of 3 colors can be chosen from a set of 5 colors?
  • Solution: We need to find 5C3.
    • Number of combinations = 5C3 = 5! / (3!(5-3)!) = (5 × 4) / (2 × 1) = 10.

Slide 13: Probability – Addition Rule

• Addition Rule: For any two events A and B, the probability of A or B occurring is given by P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B).
• Example: If the probability of rain on a given day is 0.4 and the probability of a thunderstorm is 0.2, what is the probability of rain or thunderstorm?
  • Solution: P(A) = 0.4 (probability of rain), P(B) = 0.2 (probability of thunderstorm).
    • P(A ∪ B) = 0.4 + 0.2 - P(A ∩ B).

Slide 14: Probability – Multiplication Rule

• Multiplication Rule: For any two independent events A and B, the probability of both A and B occurring is given by P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B).
• Example: If the probability of getting a head on the first coin flip is 0.5 and the probability of getting a head on the second coin flip is also 0.5, what is the probability of getting two heads in a row?
  • Solution: P(A) = 0.5 (probability of getting a head on the first coin flip), P(B) = 0.5 (probability of getting a head on the second coin flip).
    • P(A ∩ B) = 0.5 × 0.5.

Slide 15: Probability – Conditional Probability

• Conditional Probability: The probability of event A given that event B has already occurred is denoted by P(A|B).
• Conditional Probability Formula: P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B).
• Example: If a card is drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards and it is a heart, what is the probability that it is a queen?
  • Solution: P(A) = ? (probability of drawing a queen), P(B) = ? (probability of drawing a heart).
    • P(A|B) = ? (probability that the drawn card is a queen given that it is a heart).

Slide 16: Probability – Bayes’ Theorem

• Bayes’ Theorem: It is used to find the probability of an event A given that event B has occurred.
• Bayes’ Theorem Formula: P(A|B) = P(B|A) × P(A) / P(B).
• Example: A medical test for a certain disease correctly diagnoses the disease in 99% of cases. The test also gives false positives in 5% of cases. If 0.1% of the population has the disease, what is the probability that a person has the disease given that the test result is positive?
  • Solution: P(A) = ? (probability of having the disease), P(B) = ? (probability of a positive test result).
    • P(A|B) = ? (probability of having the disease given a positive test result).

Slide 17: Probability – Expected Value

• Expected Value: It is the average value to be obtained from a random experiment.
• Expected Value Formula: E(X) = x₁p₁ + x₂p₂ + … + xn pn.
• Example: A fair die is rolled. If getting a 1 is worth ₹10, getting a 2 is worth ₹20, and getting a 3 is worth ₹30, what is the expected value of rolling the die?
  • Solution: p₁ = ? (probability of getting a 1), p₂ = ? (probability of getting a 2), p₃ = ? (probability of getting a 3).
    • E(X) = ? (expected value).

Slide 18: Probability – Variance

• Variance: It is a measure of the spread or dispersion of a random variable.
• Variance Formula: Var(X) = (x₁ - μ)²p₁ + (x₂ - μ)²p₂ + … + (xn - μ)²pn.
• Example: A fair die is rolled. If getting a 1 has a value of 10, getting a 2 has a value of 20, and getting a 3 has a value of 30, what is the variance of rolling the die?
  • Solution: p₁ = ? (probability of getting a 1), p₂ = ? (probability of getting a 2), p₃ = ? (probability of getting a 3).
    • Var(X) = ? (variance).

Slide 19: Probability – Standard Deviation

• Standard Deviation: It is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values.
• Standard Deviation Formula: SD(X) = √Var(X).
• Example: A fair die is rolled. If getting a 1 has a value of 10, getting a 2 has a value of 20, and getting a 3 has a value of 30, what is the standard deviation of rolling the die?
  • Solution: Var(X) = ? (variance of rolling the die).
    • SD(X) = ? (standard deviation).
