Chance

Describe the results of two- and three-step chance experiments, both with and without replacement, assign probabilities to outcomes and determine probabilities of events. Investigate the concept of independence.Use the language of ‘if . . . then’, ‘given’, ‘of’, ‘knowing that’ to investigate conditional statements, and identify common mistakes when interpreting such language.(10A) Investigate reports of studies in digital media and elsewhere for information on the planning and implementation of such studies, and the reporting of variability.

We have all heard about or experienced a disaster of some kind in Australia. Floods, bushfires or cyclones, for example, are very real possibilities in many parts of the country and, because of this, most people take out insurance to cover for any potential losses. Consequently, insurance companies try to predict the likelihood of such disasters and set their premiums

to suit. This is called risk analysis and includes calculating the experimental probability of certain disasters, depending on a number of factors. Some factors include:• geographic location• historical records of previous

disasters• local facilities, such as hospitals

and power supply• area topography.

• Chapter pre-test• Videos of all worked

examples• Interactive widgets• Interactive walkthroughs• Downloadable HOTsheets• Access to HOTmaths

Addition rule

If A and B are mutually exclusive:Pr(A ∩ B ) = 0 andPr(A ∪ B ) = Pr(A ) + Pr(B )

Independent events

- Pr(A⎪B ) = Pr(A)

- Pr(A ∩ B ) = Pr(A ) × Pr(B )

Pr(A ∪ B ) = Pr(A ) + Pr(B ) – Pr(A ∩ B )

Unions and intersections

• Union A ∪ B (A or B )

• Intersection A ∩ B (A and B )

• Complement of A is A′′ (not A)

• A only is A ∩ B ′

• Mutually exclusive events A ∩ B =
