Section 4
B depends on A p(B)
(B|A)P
P(B|A) = p(B) B independent on A
Multiplicative rule (product rule):-
0 >B)= p(A)p(B|A); p(A)p(A . p(A) in two sides

P(B|A) =
where A &B can both occur.
Theorem:- A &B are independent events p(AB)=p(A)p(B)
Example (1):- suppose that we have a fuse box containing 20 fuses of
which 5 defective. If 2 fuses are selected at random and removed from
the box in succession without replacing the first, what is the probability
that the both fuses are defective?
Solution:- probability that both fuse are defective A(first event) B
(second event)
Without replacing the first P(B|A) = p(B) B independent on A

Example (2):- one bag contains 4 white balls and 3 black balls, and a
second bag contains 3 white balls and 5 black balls, one ball is drawn
from the first bag and placed unseen in the second bag. What is the
probability that a ball now drawn from the second bag is black?

Example (3):- A small town has a fire engine and one ambulance
available for emergencies. The probability that the fire engine is
available when needed is 0.98, and the probability the ambulance is
available when called is 0.92 of the event of an injury resulting from a
burn building. Find the probability both the ambulance and the fire
engine will be available, assuming they operate independently?
Solution:- p(A(fire
engine)∩B(ambulance))=p(A)p(B)=0.98*0.92=0.9016.
Example (3):- An electrical system consists of 4-compenent. The system
works if component A and B work and either of the component C or D
works. The reliability(the probability of working) of each component.
Find the probability that
a) the entire system work.
b) the component C dose not work given that the entire system work.

Section 4 P(B|A)  p(B) ⟹ B depends on A P(B|A) = p(B) ⟹ B independent on A Multiplicative rule (product rule):P(B|A) = p (A B ) . p(A) in two sides ⟹ ∴p(A ∩B)= p(A)p(B|A); p(A)>0 p (A ) where A &B can both occur. Theorem:- A &B are independent events ⇔ p(A∩B)=p(A)p(B) Example (1):- suppose that we have a fuse box containing 20 fuses of which 5 defective. If 2 fuses are selected at random and removed from the box in succession without replacing the first, what is the probability that the both fuses are defective? Solution:- probability that both fuse are defective ⟹ A(first event) ∩ B (second event) Without replacing the first ⟹ P(B|A) = p(B) ⟹ B independent on A ∴ p(A ∩ B)=p(A)p(B)= 5 4 1 X = . 12 19 19 Example (2):- one bag contains 4 white balls and 3 black balls, and a second bag contains 3 white balls and 5 black balls, one ball is drawn from the ...
