Definition
Probability
Rules
Rule
1:
The
probability
of
any
event
will
always
be
a
number
from
zero
to
one.
Rule
2:
When
an
event
cannot
occur,
the
probability
will
be
zero.
Rule
3:
When
an
event
is
certain
to
occur,
the
probability
is
1.
Rule
4:
The
sum
of
the
probabilities
of
all
of
the
outcomes
in
the
sample
space
is
1.
Rule
5:
The
probability
that
an
event
will
not
occur
is
equal
to
1
minus
the
probability
that
the
event
will
occur.
Combinations
A
combination
is
a
selection
of
objects
without
regard
to
the
order
in
which
they
are
selected.
An
arrangement
of
n
distinct
objects
in
a
specific
order
is
called
a
permutation.

Ejemplos
Statisticians
are
not
only
interested
in
the
average
of
the
outcomes
of
a
probability
experiment
but
also
in
how
the
results
of
a
probability
experiment
vary
from
trial
to
trial.
Suppose
we
roll
a
die
180
times
and
record
the
number
of
threes
obtained.
We
know
that
we
would
expect
to
get
about
30
threes.
Now
what
if
the
experiment
was
repeated
again
and
again?
In
this
case,
the
number
of
threes
obtained
each
time
would
not
always
be
30
but
would
vary
about
the
mean
of
30.
For
example,
we
might
get
28
threes
one
time
and
34
threes
the
next
time,
etc.
How
can
this
variability
be
explained?
Statisticians
use
a
measure
called
the
standard
deviation.
When
the
standard
deviation
of
a
variable
is
large,
the
individual
values
of
the
variable
are
spread
out
from
the
mean
of
the
distribution.
When
the
standard
deviation
of
a
variable
is
small,
the
individual
values
of
the
variable
are
close
to
the
mean.
Recall
that
for
a
probability
experiment
to
be
binomial,
two
outcomes
are
necessary.
But
if
each
trial
of
a
probability
experiment
has
more
than
two
outcomes,
a
distribution
that
can
be
used
to
describe
the
experiment
is
called
a
multinomial
distribution.
