You will be able to distinguish among the terms experiment, outcome, sample space, and event
Calculate the probability of an event , , as the number of outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes when all outcomes are equally likely and the sample space is finite
Use the laws of probability:
The sum of the probabilities of all the outcomes in a sample space is equal to one
for any event
, where is the probability that the event does not occur
Use ) to calculate probabilities
Identify mutually exclusive events and such that ;
Calculate the conditional probability where
Identify independent events;
Use the property or where and are independent events
Construct and use possibility space diagrams, tree diagrams, and Venn diagrams to solve problems involving probability.
I was once a student just like you. I struggled with Mathematics for the first two years of my secondary school life. In Third Form, my teacher, Dr Sargeant, taught Mathematics in a unique way which allowed me to successfully learn the subject which I was passionate about. Her teaching enabled me to in an area which I would eventually pursue as...
Many years ago, when I trained in the gym, the instructor often said to us young males who wanted to get a big chest and big arms as quickly as possible, "The fastest thing you will get in the gym is HURT." Results take time. There is no quick fix to better grades. Practice is paramount to success in Mathematics. Therefore, we do not stop...
