PROBABILITY , Bis the event either A or B 1 Anion 8 oF both and is also denoted as (A+B) and is read a5 B is the event both A ‘id A ysection B. and B and is also denoted as AB and is real as ‘A 3 " } jy aor Ais the event ‘Not A “ (a-B)is the event 'A but not B’. \ For mutually exclusive events we have A B = i.e. null set. addition Theorem: fra and B are any two events then p (AUB) = P(A + B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(ANB) eg. Ptking or Heart Card) = P(king) + P(Heart) ~ (king and Heart) 43 1 6 4 = 45 - == 5252 52 52 13 IfAand B are mutually exclusive then P (AUB) = P(A) + P(). 2 as here P (ANB) = 0. 3 + ANB EO eg. P (King or Queen) = P (King)+P (Queen) = 5. similarly, for three events A, B and C we have, P (AUBUC) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C)- P(ANB) ~ P(BNO) ~ P(A) + P(ANBMO) Now, if Ar, Az, As-An are mutually exclusive events then, P(ALU A2UAs.~ UAn) = P (Ax) + P (Ag) + ont P (An) Thus, in general “or” implies addition of probabilities for mutually exclusive events. illustration 1: A bag contains 30 balls numbered from 1 to 30. One ball is drawn at random. Find the probability that the number of the ball drawn will be (i) a multiple of Sor7 {i}a multiple of 4 or 6 and (i) even number or a multiple of 5.

Theorem on Compound Probability: For dependent events A and B, the probability of their simultaneous occurrence is P (Aand B) = P (ANB) = P (A) x P (BJA) = P (B) x P (A/8) where, P (B|A) called as the conditional probability, implies the probability of occurrence of event B given that the event A has already occurred. Eg. If one card is drawn from a pack and then the second is drawn without replacing the first, the probability of the second draw is dependent on the first draw. Now, if A and B are independent events, then P (BJA) = P (B) or P (AJB) = P (A) so that P (A and B) = P (ANB) = P (A) x P (B) ... Multiplication Theorem Similarly, for three events A, B, and C P (AMBAC) = P(A): P (BJA) - P (C|ANB) and if AB and C are independent then P (ANBrC) = P (A). P (B). P (C) of 5) (i) For independent events Ay, Az, ... Ay we have P(Happening of at least one of the events Ay, Ap, An) = 1 ~ P(Happening of none of the events Ay, Ap, ..

Solution: First box contains 6(W) + 8(R) = 14 balls. 6 Probability of drawing a white ball from the first boxis, POW) = —— 8 and probability of drawing a red ball is, P(R) = a Now, two dependent cases can take place: (i) The ball drawn from first box and kept in second box is white. Second box has (9+1) (W) + 10(R) = 20 balls. Probability of drawing a red ball now = P(R/W) = > 0 (ii) If the first ball is red, then second box will have 9(W) + (10 + 1) (R) = 20 balls again j and probability of drawing a red ball now = P(R/R) = a 10.18post scuncss PROBABILITY Thus we have, probability of drawing a red ball from second box = P(Transferting white ball : ' and drawing ted bell od S*@wing red ball) or PCTransferring red ball = P(W). P(RAW) + P(R). P(RVR) - (SJE): couse 14)\20 14 )\20 ~ (14)(20) ~ 280 Problem 17: A card is drawn from a pack of cards. What is the chance of drawing a red queen given that the card drawn was a face card? solution: We have, n = 52. Let A - Event of drawing a red queen (Heart or Diamond) B - Event of drawing a face card (King, Queen or Jack) P(A) = 2 3x4 12 52 = 52 We have to find the probability that the card is a red queen given that it is a face card ie. P(A/B) and P(B) Now, P (AmB) = P (8). P (AIB) P(ANB) PIB) = “Bey Now, mie. number of favourable cases for (ANB) = 2, . (ANB) = 2 52 2 3221 <. PAB) = 22=—=— WB) = Bae 52 Problem 18: The probability that a person stopping at a petrol pump will get his tyre checked 0.12, the probability that he will get his oil checked is 0.29 and the probability that he will get both checked is 0.07. (i) What is the probability that the person will have neither his tyres nor oil checked? (i) Find the probability that a person who has his oil checked will also have tyres checked. (i Find the probability that a person checks tyres but not oil. (P.U. MBA- Dec.05) 10.19
