Term
Permutation
Definition
permutation 'r' elements selected from a set S w/ 'n' elements is an ordered arrangement of those 'r' elements selected WITHOUT REPETITION
Term
Fundamental Counting Principle
Definition
Gives the number of ways of performing 2 or more tasks. If task A can be performed in 'm' ways and if after task A is performed, a second task B can be performed in 'n' ways , then task A followed by task B can be performed in 'm'X'n' ways
Term
Combonation
Definition

Combonation of 'r' elements of a finite set S of n elements is a subset of S that contains 'r' distinct elements. The notations (n/r) and nCr are both used to denote the number of combonations of r elements selected from a set of n elements (r<n)

Term
Permutation Formula
Definition

nPr

n= Total Number in set

r= Number we are selecting from set

Solution to 6P2=

6x5= 30

 

Term
Combonation Formula
Definition

(n

  r)

 

= n!/r!(n-r)!

 

(10

   3)

= 10!/3!(7!)

= 10x9x8x7!/3x2x7!

=120

Term
Distinguishing between Permutations and Combonations
Definition

Permutations: order is important

Combonation: order doesn't matter

Term

Definition

an observation of any physical occurence

Term
Sample Space
Definition
Set of poss. outcomes in an experiment
Term
Event
Definition
subset of sample space; if an event is the empty set, it is called the impossible event; if it has only one element it is called a simple event
Term
Mutually exclusive
Definition
If two events cannot occur both simultaneously, they are mutually exclusive
Term
Empiracle Probability
Definition
The relative frequency of occurance; obtained through experimental data: 5 of every 1000 cars are defective, empiracle prob. that a car is defective is 5/1000= .005 or .5%
Term
Theoretical Probability
Definition
also called priori models: obtained by logical reasoning according to stated definitions; prob. of rolling a die and getting a 3 is 1/6 b/c there are 6 possible outcomes w/ equal chances of occuring, so a 3 should appear 1/6 of the time= 17%
Term
Venn Diagrams
Definition

Term
Expected Value
Definition

Expectation= (amount to win) x (probability of winning)

 

The expectation of winning or achieving desired results

Term
Complementary Probabilities
Definition

The property of complements says that whose sum is 1 are complementary

P(e) and P(e) (w/line over it) are complementary

P(e)= successes/total #of outcomes

P(ew/ line on top)= failures/#of outcomes

Term
Odds in favor & opposed
Definition

in favor of event E: sucess/# of total outcomes

opposed to event E: Failures/# of total outcomes

Term
Conditional Probability
Definition

probability of an event given that another event F has occured= P(E/F)= lE∩Fl/ lFl

 

A family has 2 children: P(2boys)=1/4; Sample Space GG,GB,BB,BG

OLDER CHILD IS BOY (F); NEW Sample Space: BB, BG

Therefore; P(2Boys given older is boy)= 1/2

Term
Independent Events
Definition
If one event has no effect on the outcome of the seconf event then we say that the events are independent
Term
Multiplication Property of Probability
Definition

∩If 2 events are independent, then we can find the probability of an intersection by multiplication

- If they are n mutually exclusive and equally likely possibilities, then P(E∩F)= lE∩Fl/n

=P(ElF)xP(F)

=P(E)xP(F)

Term
Addition Property of Probability
Definition

P(EorF)= P(EUF)

=P(E) + P(F) - P(E∩F)

 

Term

Definition

First Law (Additive): The log of the product of 2 numbers is the sum of the logs of those numbers

Second Law (subtractive): The log of the quotient of 2 numbers is the log of the numerator minus the log of the denominator

Majority Rule
Definition
The number of votes is n and n is even, then a majority is n/2+1... if the number of votes is odd, then a majority is n+1/(2).. in other words, majority is one more than half of the actual amount (more than 50% vote)
Term
Plurality
Definition
Each voter votes for one candidate. The candidate w/ the most votes declared winner
Term

Borda Count

Definition
Each voter ranks the candidates. If there are n candidates, then n points are assigned to the first choice, n-1 to the second, n-2 to the third and so on. The pnts for each candidate are added and if one has more votes that candidate is declared the winner.
Term
Hare method
Definition
First round: majority of votes is winner. The candidates with the fewest number of first place votes is (are) eliminated. Each voter votes for one candidate in the second round if a candidate recieves majority votes they are the second round winner, if no candidate recieves majority votes, eliminate those with fewest majoruty votes, repeat process until majority winner is determined.
Term
Pairwise Comparison
Definition
Voters rank candidates by making a series of comparisons in which each candidate is compared to each of the other candidates. If choice A is prefered to choice B, then A recieves one pnt. If B is prefered to A, B recieves 1 pnt. If they tie, they each recieve 1/2 pnt. CAndidate w/ most points wins
