Unit 6:: Probaility of Compound Events

This document is about probabilities of compound events. It contains: 1) An introduction to independent and dependent events and how to calculate their probabilities. Independent events have probabilities that are multiplied, while dependent event probabilities consider the changed sample space after the first event. 2) Examples of calculating probabilities of independent events like drawing balls from a jar, and dependent events like choosing fruit where the first choice impacts the options for the second. 3) Practice problems are provided for readers to determine if example events are independent or dependent and calculate their probabilities.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:

1.Illustrate independent and dependent events,

2.Find probabilities of independent and dependent events.

EVENTS
INDEPENDENT EVENTS
Two events are independent if the occurrence of one of the
event gives us no information about whether or not the
other event will occur; that is, the event have no influence
on each other.

If two events, A and B, independent, then the probability


of both events occurring is the product of the probability of
A and the probability of B.

𝑷 ( 𝑨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝑩 )=𝑷 ( 𝑨)∙ 𝑷 ( 𝑩)


State whether the result of the first event affects the result of the second
event.

1. Studying hard, getting a high grade

2. eating a lot, gaining weight

3. Playing computer games, submitting all assignments and projects


on time

4. Tossing a coin, rolling a die and getting a 6

5. Attending a singing lesson, raining today


EXAMPLE

In a jar, there are 6 violet balls, 5 orange balls,


and 4 pink balls. A ball is drawn, replaced, and
a second ball is randomly selected. Find the
probability of the following events.
A. P (Two violet balls are drawn)

DEPENDENT EVENTS
When the outcome of one event affects the outcome of
another event, they are dependent events.

If two events, A and B, are dependent, then probability of


both events occurring is the product of the probability of A
and the probability of B after A occurs.

That is,
EXAMPLE
A fruit basket contains 7 apples, 4 bananas, 6 guavas, and 3
oranges. Teddy randomly chooses one piece of fruit, eats it, and
chooses another one. Find the probability of the follwing events.
A. P (apple, then another apple)
