- Random experiment (phép thử ngẫu nhiên)
- Sample space: không gian mẫu Nguyên t c
ắ của probility (CỰC KÌ QUAN TRỌNG): 0 <= P <= 1
+ Complement Event: phần bù- The complement of an event A i
s denoted A’ and consists of
everything in the sample space e S xcept event A
P(A) + P(A’) = 1
+ Union of two event (hợp c a 2 t ủ p h ậ
ợp): consists of all outcomes in the sample space S that
are contained either in event A or
in event B or in both. Symbol: 𝐀 ∪ 𝐁
+ Intersection of two event (giao c a 2 t ủ p h ậ
ợp): consists of all outcomes in the sample space
S that are contained in both event A a
nd event B. Symbol: 𝐀 ∩ 𝐁
Example: Suppose that A and B are two events. Write expressions involving unions,
intersections, and complements that describe the following:
A) Both events occur 𝐀 ∩ 𝐁
B) At least one occurs (either A or B occur) 𝐀 ∪ 𝐁
C) Neither occurs 𝐀, ∩ 𝐁,
D) Exactly one occurs (𝐀 ∩ 𝐁,) ∪ (𝐁 ∩ 𝐀,)

Example: A smoke detector system uses two devices, A and B. If smoke is present, the
probability that it will be detected by device A is 0.9; by device B, 0.85; and by both devices, 0.8.
A) If smoke is present, find the probability that the smoke will be detected by either device A or B or both devices.
B) Find the probability that the smoke will be undetected. Solution:
P(A)= 0.9, P(B)= 0.85, P (𝐴 ∩ 𝐵)= 0.8
=> probability that the smoke will be detected by either device A or B or both devices P (𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 = ) 0.9+0.85-0.8= 0.95.
probability that the smoke will be undetected by either device A or B or both devices: 1-0.95= 0.05
Conditional probability: The probability of A given that B has occured
Example: Suppose 30 percent of video games are purchased as digital content. Of those
games purchased as digital content, 47 percent are acquired from a gaming website. What is
the joint probability that a video game was purchased as digital content through a gaming website?
Independence of the events: A và B là 2 sự kiện c
độ lập với nhau khi và chỉ khi: P(A\B) = P(A)
Nếu như A và B là 2 sự kiện c
độ lập thì P (𝑨 ∩ 𝑩)= P(A) * P(B)
Example: Diseases I and II are prevalent among people in a certain population. It is assumed
that 10% of the population will contract disease I sometime during their lifetime, 15% will
contract disease II eventually, and 3% will contract both diseases.
A) Find the probability that a randomly chosen person from this population will contract at
least one disease. (0.22)
B) Find the conditional probability that a randomly chosen person from this population will
contract both diseases, given that he or she has contracted at least one disease. (3/22)

Contingency table is a cross-tabulation of frequencies into rows and columns
Marginal probability: Xác suất c a ủ m t ộ s ki

Question 5: A survey showed that 8% of Internet users age 18 and older report keeping a
blog. Referring to the 18 29 age group as young adults, the survey showed that for bloggers –
