Suppose you spin a penny three times and
record whether it lands heads up or tails
up.
(a) How many possible outcomes are there?

(b) Are these outcomes equally likely? If

If P(H) < 0.5, then: most likely is TTT;
least likely is HHH
The Law of Large Numbers
In random sampling, the larger the sample,
the closer the proportion of successes in
the sample tends to be to the proportion in
the population.
The Law of Large Numbers
In random sampling, the larger the sample,
the closer the proportion of successes in
the sample tends to be to the proportion in
the population.
In other words, the more trials you conduct,
the closer you can expect your
experimental probability to be to the
theoretical probability

(a) what are the outcomes
(b) what is the theoretical probability of each
outcome?

Rolling a Die
A student playing monopoly says “I have not
rolled doubles on the last six rolls; I am
due for doubles.”
How does the Law of Large Numbers apply
here?

A student playing monopoly says “I have not
rolled doubles on the last six rolls; I am
due for doubles.”
The dice will eventually come up doubles,

but the probability remains
on each roll

no matter what has happened before.
Any one particular random trial is just that - random.
Law of Large Numbers
In a random process, you can not predict
what happens in an individual trial or even
in a small number of trials, but you can
predict the pattern that will emerge if the
process is repeated a large number of
times.
Fundamental Principle of Counting
Tree diagram:
• Shows all possible outcomes of an
experiment
• Quickly becomes unwieldy if many stages
or many outcomes for stages.

Think about drawing a card from a standard
deck of playing cards, replacing it, then
repeating this process two more times
Fundamental Principle of Counting
If you only need to know how many
outcomes are possible, then use the
Fundamental Principle of Counting.
Fundamental Principle of Counting
For a two-stage process with n1 possible
outcomes for stage 1 and n2 possible
outcomes for stage 2, the number of total
possible outcomes for the two stages is
n1 n2.
This can be extended to as many stages as
desired.
Fundamental Principle of Counting
How many outcomes are possible if you flip
a coin, roll a die, and pick a card from a
standard deck of playing cards?

Two-Way Table
When a process has only two stages, it is
often more convenient to list them using a
two-way table.

Make a two-way table that shows all
possible outcomes when you roll two fair
dice.
Make a table that gives the probability
distribution for the sum of the two dice.
The first column should list the possible
sums, and the second column should list
their probabilities.
Fundamental Principle of Counting
Suppose you ask a person to taste a
particular brand of strawberry ice cream
and evaluate it as good, okay, or poor on
flavor and as acceptable or unacceptable
on price.
a) How many possible outcomes are there?
b) Show all possible outcomes on a tree
diagram.
c) Are all the outcomes equally likely?
