don’t forget to label
19

intersection
20
Q
U
A
union
21
Q
intersection means
A
multipy
22
Q
union means
A
+ and - with the intersection
23
Q
possibility space diagram is used for
A
2 fair die
24
Q
use factorial when
A
number of outcomes are random
25
P(ABC)=
3!
26
P(AAB)=
3!/2!
27
P(AA BBB)=
5!/2!*3!
28
P(AAA)
3!/3!
29
use combination for
random and without replacement events
30
31
mutually exclusive events
2 events cannot take place simultaneously
32
mutually exclusive events conditions
33
independent events
if either events A and B can occur without being affected by the other, then the 2 events are said to be independent
34
independent events conditions
35
P(A, given B) or
P(AIB)
36
P(AIB)=
37
conditional probability type
38
if 2 events are independent
they cannot be mutually exclusive and vice versa
39
straight
multiply
40

so keep him fixed
