Probability
Classical Definition of Probability
Gives the probability of an event for a finite sample space with equally likely outcomes.
Range of Probability
States that probability lies between 0 for an impossible event and 1 for a sure event.
Probability of Complementary Event
Relates the probability of an event not occurring to the probability that it occurs.
Sum of Probabilities of Elementary Events
The sum of the probabilities of all mutually exclusive and exhaustive elementary events equals 1.
Addition Theorem of Probability
Gives the probability that at least one of two events occurs.
Addition Theorem for Three Events
Gives the probability that at least one of three events occurs.
De Morgan's Laws in Probability
Expresses probabilities of joint complements using complements of unions and intersections.
Probability of Exactly One of Two Events
Gives the probability that either event occurs, but not both simultaneously.
Conditional Probability
Gives the probability of event A given that event B has occurred, where P(B) > 0.
Multiplication Theorem on Probability
Computes the joint probability of two dependent events occurring together.
Condition for Independent Events
Criterion for two events A and B to be statistically independent.
Law of Total Probability
Computes the total probability of event A partitioned across exhaustive and mutually exclusive events.
Bayes' Theorem
Finds the posterior probability of cause E_i given that event A has occurred.
Expectation of a Discrete Random Variable
Gives the expected value or mean of a discrete random variable.
Variance of a Random Variable
Measures the dispersion of a discrete random variable about its mean.
Binomial Distribution PMF
Gives the probability of obtaining exactly r successes in n independent Bernoulli trials.
Mean and Variance of Binomial Distribution
Gives the mean and variance of a binomial distribution with parameters n and p.
