Probability is the measure of uncertainty or measure of degree of belief in a particular statement or assumption Venn Diagram: A diagram that is understood to represent the set by circular region o by parts of circular regions or their compliments with respect to a rectangle represent a space S is called the Venn Diagram A B AUB={xlxeAorx eB} ANB = {xlx © Aandx € BY A-B= {xlx @ Aand xe BY Aw A= {xix ee Sandx@ A} Cartesian Product: The cartesian product of two sets A and B is denoted by AxB is a set that contains all ordered pairs (x,y) where x € Aand y € B ie. AxB= {(x,y) IxeA andy € b} Example: LetA= 1,7} & B= 3,4,5,6) A*B = ((H,1) ,(H.2), (H.3), (H.4), (H,5), (H,6),(T1), ( (1.6)Or By Tree Diagram ibd dd faa £6 EEE Ee Random Experiment: The term experiment means a planned activity which results a set of data. Trail: A single performance of an experiment is called Trial Outcome: The results obtained from an expenment or atrial is called outcome. And experiment which produces different results even through it is repeated a large number of time under some essential conditions is called random experiment (i) The experiment can be repeated practically or theoretically any number of times. (ii) The experiment has always two or more outcome (iti) The outcome of cach repetition is unpredictable. Sample Space: Asset consisting of all possible outcomes of'a random experiment is called the sample space. A= (H7} for acoin S=[12,3,45,6} fora dice3 Event: Any subset of a sample space S is called an event A=(H) CIT} B= (146) (123456) Mutually Exclusive Events: Two events A and B of single experiment are said to be mutually exclusive or disjoint events iff they cannot occur both together. Exhaustive Events: Events are said to be exhaustive if their union make the whole sample space. A={H},B=(T) AUB= {HT} Equally likely events: Two events A and B are said to be equally likely events if they both have the same chance of occurrence or when one event is as likely to occur as to other. Permutatis A permutation is any ordered subset from a set of ‘n’ distinct objects. The number of *r’ objects selected in a definite order from ‘n' distinct is denoted by “P and givenas . al "t= Combinations: A combination is a set of *r” objects selected without the regard of their order from the set of ‘n’ objects is denoted by “CC, and given as “cet ri(a—ry) A club consist of four members. How many sample points are in a sample space When three officer's president, secretary and treasurer are chosen.Solution: Heren=4,r=3 Example: How many sample points are in a sample space S when a person draws a hand of S cards from a well shuffled pack of $2 playing cards.

A and B are two mutually events then P(AUB) = P(A}P(B) Example: A card is drawn from an ordinary deck of 52 playing cards. Find the probability that (i) Card isa red card (ii) Card is. a diamond (ii) Card is 10 Solution: Here n= 52 (i) Let A represents the event that card és a red card.

What is the probability that at least one head appears? Solution: “The sample space for this experiment is S= (HHH, HHT, HTH, THA, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT) ‘Thus n($)=8 Let A denotes the event that at least one head appears. Then A= (HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH} ‘Therefore, nA) =7 mA)_7 mS) 8 Example: Iftwo fair dice are thrown, what is the probability of getting (i) A double six (it) A sum of 8 of more dots? Solution: The sample space for this experiment is S= {(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6) (2,1) (2.2) (2,3) (2.4) (2,5) (2,6) (3,1) (3.2) 83) BA) BS) 3,6) 4,1) 42) (43) 44) 5) 4,6) (5,1) (5.2) (5,3) 54) 45,5) (5,6) (6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)} ‘Thus n(S)=36 (i) Let A represent the event that a double six appears. Then A={66) => wA)=1 ‘Therefore (ii) Let B denotes the event that a sum of $ or more dot. B= {(2,6) (3,5) (3,6) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6) (5,3) (5.4) (5,5) (5,6) (62) (6,3) (64) (6,5) (6,6) } Hence P(A) = n(B)=15 PAYExample: Ginx white balls and fourback balls which are indsingushable apart from color are placed in a bag. If six balls are taken from the bag, find the probability of their being three white and three black. Solution: Here total balls =10 White balls = 6 Black balls =4 Let 6 balls are selected at random from ten balls.
