REVISION OF KEY CONCEPTS AND FORMULAE =
1m the experimental approach to probability, we find the probability of the occurrence of an
imes and adequate recording
Event by actually performing the experiment a number of times and adequ 6 Of the
happening of event.
In the theoretical approach to probability, we try to predict what will happen without ne
Performing the experiment.
An outcome of a random experiment is called an elementary event.
Anevent associated toa random experiment is a compound event ifitis obtained by combining
‘wo or more elementary events associated to the random experiment.
An event A associated to a random experiment is said to occur if any one of the clementary
events associated to the event A is an outcome.
Anclementary eventis said to be
favourable to a compound event A, if it satisfies the definition
of the compound event.
If there are n elementary events associated with a random experiment and m of them are
favourable to an event A, then the Probability of happening occurrence of event A is denoted
by P(A) and is defined as the ratio “
n
ie. p(qy = Favourable number of elementary events
Total number of elementary events
For any event A associated to a random experiment,
(i) O< P(A)<1 Gi) P(A
we have
1-P(A)
The probability of a sure event is 1.
The probability of an impossible event is 0.
The sum of the probabilities of all the outcomes (elementary ever
nts) of an experiment is 1.
234Hence, option (a) is correct.
