Probability Rules and Concepts

This video tutorial covers the addition and general multiplication rules in probability, aligning with common core standards. It explains the addition rule with a practical example involving college students taking math and science courses. The use of Venn diagrams to visualize and solve probability problems is demonstrated. The general multiplication rule is also explained with an example involving social media accounts. The video aims to provide a clear understanding of these probability concepts.

What is the formula for the addition rule in probability?

• P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

• P(A or B) - P(A and B)

• P(A) * P(B)

• P(A) + P(B)

If the probability of a student taking math is 67% and science is 52%, with a 30% overlap, what is the probability of taking either math or science?

• 82%

• 97%

• 100%

• 89%

In a Venn diagram, what does the overlapping region represent?

• The probability of only one event occurring

• The probability of neither event occurring

• The probability of either event occurring

• The probability of both events occurring

How do you calculate the non-overlapping area of a circle in a Venn diagram?

• Divide the overlap by the total probability of the circle

• Subtract the overlap from the total probability of the circle

• Add the overlap to the total probability of the circle

• Multiply the overlap by the total probability of the circle

What does the general multiplication rule state?

• P(A and B) = P(A) + P(B)

• P(A and B) = P(A) / P(B)

• P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B given A)

• P(A and B) = P(A) - P(B)

In the example of teens with social media accounts, what is the probability of having both Instagram and Facebook?

• 75%

• 57%

• 42.75%

• 30%

What is the probability of a teen having an Instagram account according to the example?

• 30%

• 57%

• 75%

• 42.75%

What is the conditional probability of a teen having a Facebook account given they have an Instagram account?

• 42.75%

• 57%

• 30%

• 75%

Which rule would you use to find the probability of two independent events occurring together?

• Division Rule

• Subtraction Rule

• General Multiplication Rule

• Addition Rule
