MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT PROBABILITY
probability that it is red is 3/5 4 I roll two dice and add the results The probability of getting a total of 6 is 1/12 because there are 12 different possibil ities and 6 is one of them 5 It is harder to throw a six than a three with a die 6 Tomorrow it will either rain or not rain, so the probability that it will rain is 0 5 7

Probability Scale
The probability scale never goes less than 0 or more than 1Probability
Probability is the numerical measure of the chance of an event occurring Probability is usually written an a fraction or a decimalRelative Frequency (Experimental Frequency)
Relative frequency is an estimate of the probability of an event Note - the more times you repeat an experiment the better the probability estimateExpected Frequency
Expected frequency = number of trials x relative frequencyEqually Likely
Events are said to be equally likely if all events have the same chance of occurring. For example a fair coin has the
same probability of landing on heads as tails.If all outcomes are equally likely to occur, then the trial or experiment is considered to be fair or unbiased
Fundamental Principle of Counting (FPC)
The fundamental Principle of Counting is used to find the correct number of outcomes of 2 or more events.
FPC - If one event has m possible outcomes and a second event has n possible outcomes, then the total number of
possible outcomes is m x n.Combined Events
A combined event is where two or more events occur and their outcomes are combined togetherRepresenting Outcomes
Systematic Listing
Have a logical system to how all events are listedRóisín Cousins
Tree Diagrams
A coin is flipped 3 times & recorded on a tree diagramTwo Way Tables
And/Or
A and B are 2 events, for example, A is rolling a regular 6 sided die and B is flipping a fair coin AND - Probability of A happening and B happening: ܲ OR - Probability of A happening or B happening: ܲIndependent Events
Events in which the outcome of the 1st eǀent doesn't affect the outcome of the 2nd event e.g. rolling a die twice, the
die doesn't hold a memory so if it landed on heads the first time there is still a 50͗50 chance of it landing on heads or
tails the second timeDependent Events
Events where the 2nd event is affected by the 1st event e.g. if marbles are removed from a bag and not replaced

Bernoulli Trials
A Bernoulli Trial is an experiment whose outcomes are random and have only 2 possible outcomes - pass or fail
Properties:
There must be a fixed number of trials
Two possible outcomes - success or failure (hit or miss) (true or false)The trials must be independent of each other
Examples:
Tossing a coin
Shooting free throws in a basketball game
Expected Value
The expected value E(X) is the average or mean outcome of an experimentPermutations
Permutations are the number of ways we can arrange somethingOrder matters
Combinations
If we are asked to select or choose a number of objects from a group of objects this is called a combination
for example choosing a committee.
