Basic Probability Concepts



Probability – the chance that an uncertain event
will occur (always between 0 and 1)(一个不确
定事件发生的可能性称为概率)
Impossible Event – an event that has no
chance of occurring (probability = 0)(如果一个
事件发生概率为零,则称为不可能事件)
Certain Event – an event that is sure to occur
(probability = 1)(相反,如果事件发生概率为1,
则为必然事件)

Chap 4-3
Assessing Probability
There are three approaches to assessing the probability of
an uncertain event(三种评价事件发生概率的方法):
1. a priori -- based on prior knowledge of the process(先验概率,基于预先掌
握的知识)
Assuming all
outcomes
are equally
likely要假定
各种结果出
现的可能性
是相同的
probability of occurrence 
X
number of ways the event can occur

T
total number of elementary outcomes
2. empirical probability(经验概率,基于观察到的数据)
probability of occurrence 
number of ways the event can occur
total number of elementary outcomes
3. subjective probability(主观概率,每个人的主观可能不一样)
based on a combination of an individual’s past experience,
personal opinion, and analysis of a particular situation 依赖于每
个人不同的经验、观点和对特定情形分析的结合
Example of a priori probability
Find the probability of selecting a face card (Jack,
Queen, or King) from a standard deck of 52 cards.
(52张牌中一次抽到人牌的概率)

Events
Each possible outcome of a variable is an event.(变量的每一
个可能结果称为事件)
 Simple event(简单事件)



Joint event(联合事件)



An event described by a single characteristic(对应单一特征)
e.g., A red card from a deck of cards
An event described by two or more characteristics(两个或者两个以
上特征的时间)
e.g., An ace that is also red from a deck of cards
Complement of an event A (denoted A’)(事件A的补)


All events that are not part of event A(所有不包含事件A的事件集合)
e.g., All cards that are not diamonds
Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Chap 4-7
Sample Space(样本空间)
The Sample Space is the collection of all possible
events(所有可能事件的集合称为样本空间)
e.g. All 6 faces of a die:
e.g. All 52 cards of a bridge deck:

Definitions
Simple vs. Joint Probability

Simple Probability refers to the probability of a simple
event.(简单事件发生的概率称为简单概率)
 ex. P(King)
 ex. P(Spade黑桃)

Joint Probability refers to the probability of an occurrence
of two or more events (joint event).(联合事件发生的概率
称为联合概率)
 ex. P(King and Spade)
Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Chap 4-11
Mutually Exclusive Events(互斥事件)

Mutually exclusive events

Events that cannot occur simultaneously(不能同时发生的事
件)
Example: Drawing one card from a deck of cards
A = queen of diamonds方块; B = queen of clubs梅花

Events A and B are mutually exclusive
Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Chap 4-12
Collectively Exhaustive Events(完备事件集)

Collectively exhaustive events


One of the events must occur(事件集中某个事件一定发生)
The set of events covers the entire sample space(整个事
件集覆盖整个样本空间)
example:
A = aces; B = black cards;
C = diamonds; D = hearts

Events A, B, C and D are collectively exhaustive (but not
mutually exclusive – an ace may also be a heart)(完备事
件集中事件不一定互斥)

Events B, C and D are collectively exhaustive and
also mutually exclusive
Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Chap 4-13
Computing Joint and Marginal Probabilities
联合概率及边际概率的计算

The probability of a joint event, A and B:
number of outcomes satisfyingA and B
P( A and B) 
total number of elementary outcomes

Computing a marginal (or simple) probability:
P(A)  P(A and B1)  P(A and B2 )    P(A and Bk )

Where B1, B2, …, Bk are k mutually exclusive and collectively
exhaustive events(互斥且完备事件集)

Probability Summary So Far


Probability is the numerical measure of the
likelihood that an event will occur(概率是刻
画一个事件发生可能性的数字测度)
Certain
The probability of any event must be
between 0 and 1, inclusively(任何事件发生
概率值都在0和1之间)
0 ≤ P(A) ≤ 1 For any event A

1
0.5
The sum of the probabilities of all mutually
exclusive and collectively exhaustive events
is 1(互斥且完备事件集的概率之和为1)
P(A)  P(B)  P(C)  1
If A, B, and C are mutually exclusive and
collectively exhaustive

Chap 4-18
General Addition Rule(一般加法原则)
General Addition Rule:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
If A and B are mutually exclusive, then
P(A and B) = 0, so the rule can be simplified:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
For mutually exclusive events A and B
Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Chap 4-19
General Addition Rule Example
P(Red or Ace) = P(Red) +P(Ace) - P(Red and Ace)
= 26/52 + 4/52 - 2/52 = 28/52

Computing Conditional Probabilities
条件概率的计算

A conditional probability is the probability of one event, given that
another event has occurred:一个事件在给定另一事件发生下发生的
概率
P(A and B)
P(A | B) 
P(B)
The conditional
probability of A given
that B has occurred
P(A and B)
P(B | A) 
P(A)
The conditional
probability of B given
that A has occurred
Where P(A and B) = joint probability of A and B(A、B的联合概率)
P(A) = marginal or simple probability of A(A的边际概率)
P(B) = marginal or simple probability of B(B的边际概率)
Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Chap 4-21
Conditional Probability Example


Of the cars on a used car lot, 70% have air conditioning
(AC) and 40% have a CD player (CD). 20% of the cars
have both.在某个二手车市场,70%的车有空调,40%的
车有CD机,20%的车这两样东西都有
What is the probability that a car has a CD player, given
that it has AC ?(问在那些有空调的车中,拥有CD机的
概率?)
i.e., we want to find P(CD | AC)

Independence(独立性)

Two events are independent if and only
if:
P(A | B)  P(A)

Events A and B are independent when the probability
of one event is not affected by the fact that the other
event has occurred(两个事件A、B是相互独立的,
如果A是否发生不受B已经发生的影响)

Multiplication Rules(乘法法则)

Multiplication rule for two events A and B:
P(A and B)  P(A | B) P(B)
Note: If A and B are independent, then P(A | B)  P(A)
and the multiplication rule simplifies to
P(A and B)  P(A)P(B)

Bayes’ Theorem

Bayes’ Theorem is used to revise previously
calculated probabilities based on new
information.(基于新的信息修正原先已经计算
的概率)

Developed by Thomas Bayes in the 18th
Century.(由托马斯-贝叶斯发展于18世纪)

It is an extension of conditional probability.
(条件概率的一个推广)

P(Bi | A) 


where:
Bi = ith event of k mutually exclusive and collectively
exhaustive events( Bi ,k个互斥且完备的事件)
A = new event that might impact P(Bi)

Chap 4-31
Bayes’ Theorem Example

A drilling company has estimated a 40% chance of striking oil for their
new well. 一家石油钻探公司新钻井出油成功率大概在40%,可以看成
先验成功率

A detailed test has been scheduled for more information. Historically,
60% of successful wells have had detailed tests, and 20% of
unsuccessful wells have had detailed tests. 详细的钻前勘探能带来更
多信息。历史上成功出油的钻井中60%做过详细的钻前勘探,没有出油
的钻井中20%做过详细的钻前勘探

Given that this well has been scheduled for a detailed test, what is the
probability that the well will be successful?(假定该次钻探前,已经做
了详细的钻前勘探,请问该井成功出油的概率?)
Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Chap 4-32
Bayes’ Theorem Example
(continued)

Let S = successful well
U = unsuccessful well

P(S) = 0.4 , P(U) = 0.6

Define the detailed test event as D

Conditional probabilities:
P(D|S) = 0.6

(prior probabilities)
P(D|U) = 0.2
Goal is to find P(S|D)
Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Chap 4-33
Bayes’ Theorem Example
(continued)
Apply Bayes’ Theorem:
P(D | S)P(S)
P(S | D) 
P(D | S)P(S)  P(D | U)P(U)
(0.6)(0.4)

(0.6)(0.4) (0.2)(0.6)
0.24

 0.667
0.24  0.12
So the revised probability of success, given that this well
has been scheduled for a detailed test, is 0.667
Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Chap 4-34
Bayes’ Theorem Example

Given the detailed test, the revised probability
of a successful well has risen to 0.667 from
