Document Summary
1. properties of probability: probability of event (e) is greater than or equal to 0 for any event, probability of the total sample space (s) is equal to 1. The general case for two events is the addition rule. 1. review how to create and read tree diagrams in the text book from page 429-431. 2. two events a and b are independent if the outcome of one does not effect the other. If a and b are independent then: p(a b) = p(a) and p(b a) = p(b, two events are independent if and only if, p(a b) = p(a, p(b, beware the difference between independent and mutual exclusive events. Independent events pertains to whether the occurrence of one event effects the other and mutually exclusive pertains to whether the events occur at the same time. Infinite discrete: takes on infinitely many values: continuous: values comprise an interval of real numbers.
