General Addition Rule: P(A B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A B)
Special Addition Rule: P(A B) = P(A) + P(B)
n! n n! Pk, n = Ck, n = = (n - k)! k k!(n - k)!
________________________________________________ P(A B) Conditional Probability Formula: P A | B P(B)
General Multiplication Rule: P(A B) = P(A) * P(B | A)
Special Multiplication Rule: P(A B) = P(A) * P(B)
Total-Probability Rule: P B P A i *P B | A i
P A * P B | A Bayes' Rule: P A | B P A * P B | A P A ' * P B | A '
III. Probability Distributions
Probability Distribution of a Discrete Random Variable:
E(X) = = xP(x) V(X) = 2 = x 2 P(x) - 2
Probability Distribution of X~B(n, p):
n P(x) = p x q n-x , x = 0, 1, 2, ..., n x E(X) = np V(X) = npq Probability Distribution of X~H(n, M, N): M N-M x n-x P(x) = , for max(0, n - (N - M)) x min(n, M) N n
M N-n M M E(X) = n V(X) = n 1-
N N-1 N N
Probability Distribution of X~NB(r, p):
x + r - 1 r x P(x) = p q , x = 0, 1, 2, ... r-1 r(1 - p) r(1 - p) E(X) = V(X) = p p2
Probability Distribution of X~Poisson():
e- x P(x) = , x = 0, 1, 2, ..., E(X) = V(X) = x! If X~B(n, p) with n 100 and p .01, then X ~ Poisson(np)
