Probability _ Mind Map ~ Mathematics

The document explains the concepts of theoretical and experimental probability, defining experimental probability as the ratio of favorable outcomes to total outcomes in repeated trials. It also discusses equally likely events, compound events, random experiments, and the sample space, emphasizing that the sum of probabilities of all elementary events equals one. Additionally, it describes impossible and sure events with examples related to rolling a die and tossing a coin.

Theoretical Probability
1. Experimental Probability Theoretical Probability, P(E)
Experimental probability can be applied to any event associated with an experiment that Number of Outcomes Favourable to E
=
is repeated a large number of times. Number of all possible outcomes of the experiment

A trial is when the experiment is performed once. It is also known as empirical probability. Here we assume that the outcomes of the experiment are equally
likely.
Number of trials where the event occurred
Experimental or empirical probability: P(E) =
Total Number of Trials

3. Equally Likely Events


Events are said to be equally likely when no particular
event have preference to occur in relation to the other event.

Note:

Events which are equally likely are also known as "Equiprobable".

9. Compound Event
If an event has two or more than two sample point, it is
called a compound event.

Probability 4. Random Experiments


An experiment is called random experiment if
(i) It has more than one possible outcomes.
(ii) It is not possible to predict the outcome in advance.
8. Sum of probabilities
The sum of the probabilities of all the elementary events of an
experiment is one.
Example: Take the coin-tossing experiment.
P(Heads) + P (Tails) = 1 + 1 = 1

7. Impossible and Sure Events 5. Outcomes And Sample Space


Experiment: Rolling a die
A possible result of a random experiment is called its outcome.
And the set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment is
Sample Space: Set of outcomes: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
6. Event called the sample space associated with it (denoted by S).
Event 'E': The no. appearing on the die is ‘7’. = ф Occurrence of particular outcomes of an experiment under a Note:
situation is known as an event. (1) Each element of the sample space is called a sample point.
• ф is called an Impossible Event.
OR
Example: Each outcome of the random experiment is also called
Event 'F': The number turns up is odd or even. = S
sample point.
Getting head in the toss of a coin is an event. (2) A sample space having finite number of sample points, is
S, i.e., the whole sample space is called the Sure Event. If E is an event of getting head in the toss of a coin, then E = {H} called "Discrete sample space"
