Axioms of Probability
Also Note:
1. P(S)=1
For any two events A and B,
2. For any event E, 0< P(E) < 1
P(A) = P(AN B) + P(AN B')
3. For any two mutually exclusive events,
and
P(EUF) = P(E)+ P(F)
P(AN B)
P(A|B)P(B).
Events A and B are independent if:
Addition Rule
P(EUF) = P(E)+ P(F) – P(EnF)
P(A|B) = P(A)
or
Conditional Probability
P(AN B) = P(A)P(B).
Р(BJA) —
P(ANB)
P(A)
Bayes' Theorem:
Total Probability Rule
Р(A В)P(В)
Р(А|B)Р(В) + Р(A|B')P(В')
P(A) = P(A|B)P(B)+P(A|B')P(B')
P(B|A)
Similarly,
Similarly,
P(A) =P(A|E1)P(E1) + P(A|E2)P(E2)+
...+ P(A|Ek)P(Ek)
P(B|E1)P(E1)
P(B|E1)P(E1) + P(B|E2)P(E2) + · .+ P(B|ER)P(Ex)
P(E1|B)
