  2. De Morgan's laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Morgan's_laws

    De Morgan's laws represented with Venn diagrams.In each case, the resultant set is the set of all points in any shade of blue. In propositional logic and Boolean algebra, De Morgan's laws, [1] [2] [3] also known as De Morgan's theorem, [4] are a pair of transformation rules that are both valid rules of inference.

    With replacement, the probability would be 26/52 × 13/52 × 2 = 676/2704, or 13/52. In probability theory, the word or allows for the possibility of both events happening. The probability of one or both events occurring is denoted P(A ∪ B) and in general, it equals P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B). [3]

  4. Probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability

    Probability is the branch of mathematics and statistics concerning events and numerical descriptions of how likely they are to occur. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1; the larger the probability, the more likely an event is to occur. [note 1] [1] [2] A simple example is the tossing of a fair (unbiased) coin. Since the ...

  5. Independence (probability theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_(probability...

    Independence is a fundamental notion in probability theory, as in statistics and the theory of stochastic processes.Two events are independent, statistically independent, or stochastically independent [1] if, informally speaking, the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of occurrence of the other or, equivalently, does not affect the odds.

  6. Probability axioms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_axioms

    This is called the addition law of probability, or the sum rule. That is, the probability that an event in A or B will happen is the sum of the probability of an event in A and the probability of an event in B, minus the probability of an event that is in both A and B. The proof of this is as follows: Firstly,

  7. Three prisoners problem - Wikipedia

    As the warden says B will be executed, it is either because C will be pardoned (⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ chance), or A will be pardoned (⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ chance) and the coin to decide whether to name B or C the warden flipped came up B (⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ chance; for an overall ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ × ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ = ⁠ 1 / 6 ⁠ chance B was named because A will be ...

  8. Conditional independence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_independence

    Events A and B can be assumed to be independent i.e. knowledge that A is late has minimal to no change on the probability that B will be late. However, if a third event is introduced, person A and person B live in the same neighborhood, the two events are now considered not conditionally independent.

  9. Conditional probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_probability

    Formally, P(A | B) is defined as the probability of A according to a new probability function on the sample space, such that outcomes not in B have probability 0 and that it is consistent with all original probability measures. [19] [20]
