Chapter 5: Probability
Probability is the relative frequency with which the event occurs - SR VS LR, Cumulative Freq fluctuates in Short Run - P( ) = 1 P(A) - P(A OR B) = P(A) + P(B) P(A B), where P(A B) = 0 if disjoint - P(A B) = P(A) x P(B|A) = P(B) x P(A|B) - If independent, P(A B) = P(A) x P(B)
