Introduction of Probability

This document outlines key concepts in probability, including understanding sample spaces and events, calculating probabilities of individual and joint events such as unions and intersections, interpreting and calculating conditional probabilities and determining independence of events. It also introduces probability for discrete sample spaces with a finite number of outcomes and defines probability as a quantification of the likelihood of an outcome occurring, represented by a number between 0 and 1.

Probability
• Understand and describe sample spaces and events for random experiments.
• Interpret probabilities and use probabilities of outcomes to calculate
probabilities of events in discrete sample spaces
• Calculate the probabilities of joint events such as unions and intersections
from the probabilities of individual events
• Interpret and calculate conditional probabilities of events
• Determine the independence of events and use independence to calculate
probabilities
• Use Bayes’ theorem to calculate conditional probabilities
• Understand random variables
• We introduce probability for discrete sample spaces—those with
only a finite (or countably infinite) set of outcomes.
• Probability is used to quantify the likelihood, or chance, that an
outcome of a random experiment will occur. “The chance of rain
today is 30%’’ is a statement that quantifies our feeling about the
possibility of rain.
• The likelihood of an outcome is quantified by assigning a number
from the interval [0, 1] to the outcome (or a percentage from 0 to
100%).
• Higher numbers indicate that the outcome is more likely than lower
numbers.
• A 0 indicates an outcome will not occur. A probability of 1 indicates
an outcome will occur with certainty.
