Probability theory Probability: A numerical measure of the chance that an event will occur. Experiment: A process that generates well defined outcomes. Sample space: The set of all experimental outcomes. Sample point: An element of the sample space. A sample point represents an experimental outcome. Tree diagram: A graphical representation that helps in visualizing a multiple step experiment. Classical method: A method of assigning probabilities that is appropriate when all the experimental

PROBABILITY and MENDELIAN GENETICS LAB Hypothesis: If we toss the coin(s) for many times‚ then we will have more chances to reach the prediction that we expect based on the principle of probability. Results: As for part 1: probability of the occurrence of a single event‚ the deviation of heads and tails of 20 tosses is zero‚ which means that the possibility of heads and tails is ten to ten‚ which means equally chances. The deviation of heads and tails of 30 tosses is 4‚ which means that the

Probability distribution Definition with example: The total set of all the probabilities of a random variable to attain all the possible values. Let me give an example. We toss a coin 3 times and try to find what the probability of obtaining head is? Here the event of getting head is known as the random variable. Now what are the possible values of the random variable‚ i.e. what is the possible number of times that head might occur? It is 0 (head never occurs)‚ 1 (head occurs once out of 2 tosses)

Conditional Probability How to handle Dependent Events Life is full of random events! You need to get a "feel" for them to be a smart and successful person. Independent Events Events can be "Independent"‚ meaning each event is not affected by any other events. Example: Tossing a coin. Each toss of a coin is a perfect isolated thing. What it did in the past will not affect the current toss. The chance is simply 1-in-2‚ or 50%‚ just like ANY toss of the coin. So each toss is an Independent

variable X is a weighted average of the possible values that the random variable can take. Unlike the sample mean of a group of observations‚ which gives each observation equal weight‚ the mean of a random variable weights each outcome xi according to its probability‚ pi. The mean also of a random variable provides the long-run average of the variable‚ or the expected average outcome over many observations.The common symbol for the mean (also known as the expected value of X) is ‚ formally defined by Variance

skills can be used anytime and anywhere. For instance‚ the mathematical usage of probability can aid people in smart decision making‚ and can help people understand their odds. Statistically‚ probability refers to the relative possibility that an event will occur‚ as expressed by the ratio of the number of actual occurrences to the total number of possible occurrences (SOURCE). A rather obvious activity where probability applies is to is gambling. Casino games‚ such as Texas Hold Em’‚ can be played

Assume that no two scores are alike and all 10! possible rankings are equally likely. Let X denote the highest ranking achieved by a woman (for instance‚ X = 1 if the top-ranked person is female). Find P X = i ‚ i = 1‚ 2‚ 3‚ . . . ‚ 8‚ 9‚ 10. Let Ei be the event that the the ith scorer is female. Then the
