Number of favourable cases iv. If A  B, then P(A)  P(B)
P(A) 
Total number of equally likely cases v. P(A  B') = P(A) – P(A  B)

+ P(A  B  C)
ii. Probability of an impossible event is zero. where A, B, C are any events.
iii. Probability of a sure event is one. vii. P(A  B  C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C), if
i.e., P(S) = 1, where S is the sure event A, B, C are mutually exclusive events.
2. Exhaustive events: viii. P(AB)  P(A)  P(A + B)  P(A) + P(B)
Two events A and B of the sample space are 7. Conditional Probability:
said to be exhaustive if A  B = S i.e., A  B The conditional probability of both the events A
contains all sample points. and B over the sample space S is
3. Mutually Exclusive events: P(A  B)
i. P(A / B)  , where B  
Two events A & B of the sample space S are P(B)
said to be mutually exclusive if A  B =  P(A  B)
ii. P(B / A)  , where A  

space S are mutually exclusive and 8. Multiplication theorem:
exhaustive, then they are said to be If A and B are two events over the sample space
complementary events. S, then
ii. The complement of the event A is i. P(A  B) = P(B) . P (A/B)
denoted by A' or A or Ac. ii. P(A  B) = P(A) . P (B/A)

i. If A and B are any two events defined over
a sample space S, then ii. P(B/A) = P(B/A') = P(B)
P(A  B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A  B) iii. If A and B are independent events, then
