S1 Probability Key Points

?
P(event A or event B or both)
P(A U B)
1 of 9
P(both events A and B)
P(A n B)
2 of 9
P(not event A)
P(A')
3 of 9
Complementary probability
P(A') = 1 - P(A)
4 of 9
Addition rule
P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A n B)
5 of 9
Conditional probability P(A given B)
P(A | B) = P(A n B) / P(B)
6 of 9
Mulitplication rule
P(A n B) = P(A | B) x P(B) OR P(B | A) x P(A)
7 of 9
If A and B are independent...
P(A | B) = P(A) OR P(B | A) = P(B) OR P(A n B) = P(A) x P(B)
8 of 9
If A and B are mutually exclusive...
P(A n B) = 0
