Term
| Conditional probability, P(FlE) |
|
Definition
| The probability that event F occurs given event E has occurred |
|
|
Term
| Conditional probability rule |
|
Definition
If E and F are any two events
P(FlE) = P(E and F)/P(E) = N(E and F)/N(E) |
|
|
Term
| General multiplication rule |
|
Definition
The probability that two events E and F both occur
P(E and F) = P(E) x P(FlE) |
|
|
Term
| If small random samples are taken from large populations without replacement |
|
Definition
| It is reasonable to assume independence of the events if the sample size is less than 5% of the population size |
|
|
Term
| If two events E and F are independent, then P(FlE) = |
