Lesson 51 Trigonometry Name:_______________________ Mr. Jones Date:___________________
DO NOW: The numbers 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 14 are in a hat. You will reach in the hat to pick a number once. What is the probability of each? a) An odd number or a number greater than 6 b) A multiple of 2 or a multiple of 3 Definitions Disjoint or mutually exclusive are two events that have no outcomes in common. P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) Overlapping events are two events that have one or more outcomes in common. P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B) Example 1 : Find each of the probabilities. a) Events A and B are disjoint. P(A) = 2 3 and P(B) = 1 6
. Find the P (A or B).
b) Events are overlapping. Find P(A or B). P(A) = 7 20 P(B) = 9 20 P(A and B) = 3 20 c) Events are overlapping. Find P(A and B). P(A) = 12 52 P(B) = 13 52 P(A or B) = 22 52 d) Out of 200 students in a senior class, 113 students are either varsity athletes or on the honor roll. There are 74 seniors who are varsity athletes and 51 seniors who are on the honor roll. What is the probability that a randomly selected senior is both a varsity and on the honor roll?
d) Out of 45 customers at a breakfast café, 42 customers bought coffee or orange juice. There were 30 customers who bought orange juice and 40 customers who brought coffee. What is the probability that a randomly selected customer brought both coffee and orange juice?
c) P(B) = 1 9 , P(A and B) = 3 36 , P(A or B) = 7 36
