First lets be clear about some vocabulary:
Independent event: the occurrence of one event has no event has no effect on the second event Complement of an event: probability that the event does not occur
Experiment: the result is uncertain
Outcome: possible results
Probability= n(E)/ p(E) must be between 0 and 1
If p (E) = 0, impossible event
If p(E)= 1, certain event
Mutually exclusive event: P( A U B)= P(A) + P (B) - P(A n B)
Independent event P (A and B) = P(A)X P(B)
Complement: P(A')= 1-P(A)
Example : if there are 3 red marbles, 2 black marbles and 5 yellow, what is the probability of picking out one red marble?
P = 3/10
