complementary events
mutually independent events
mutually exclusive events
independent events

P(sport) = 4/10
P(sport and instrument) = 1/10
P(sport U instrument) = 8/10
P(sport | instrument) = 1/4

2.25
4/9

The conditional probability formula is:
P(B|A)=P(AnB)/P(B)
P(A|B)=P(BnA)/P(B)
P(A|B)=P(AnB)/P(A)
P(B|A)=(P(B)xP(A))/P(A)

If P(A)+P(B) =1, we say events A and B are:
mutually exclusive events
events with probabilities that add to 1
independent events
complementary events
12

14
If P(A|B) = P(A) then:
A and B are dependent events
A and B are independent events
P(A)+P(B)=P(AnB)
A and B are complementary events
15

1000 people take a drug to lower their cholesterol. The drug reduces the risk of death by 22%.
If 41 are expected to die, this will decrease to about 9
This means the drug prevents 22 people from dying
If 41 are expected to die, this will decrease by about 9
This means 220 less people are expected to die
