Classical Interpretation. : Notion of probability based on equal likelihood of individual possibilities (coin toss has 1/2 chance of Heads, card draw has 4/52 chance of an Ace). Origins in games of chance.. 4. Introduction. (slide 1 of 3). A key . aspect of solving real business problems is dealing appropriately with uncertainty.. This involves recognizing explicitly that uncertainty exists and using quantitative methods to model uncertainty.. What we learned last class…. We are not good at recognizing/dealing with randomness. Our “random” coin flip results weren’t streaky enough.. If B/G results behave like independent coin flips, we know how many families to EXPECT with 0,1,2,3,4 girls.. Probability is used all of the time in real life. Gambling . Sports. Weather. Insurance. Medical Decisions. Standardized Tests. And others. Definition of Probability. “The . likelihood of something . Conditional Probability. Conditional Probability: . A probability where a certain prerequisite condition has already been met.. Conditional Probability Notation. The probability of Event A, given that Event B has already occurred, is expressed as P(A | B).. Slide . 2. Probability - Terminology. Events are the . number. of possible outcome of a phenomenon such as the roll of a die or a fillip of a coin.. “trials” are a coin flip or die roll. Slide . Section 5.1. Randomness, Probability, and Simulation. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!. Example 1: . When you toss a coin, there are only two possible outcomes, heads or tails. The figure below on the left shows the results of tossing a coin 20 times. For each number of tosses from 1 to 20, we have plotted the proportion of those tosses that gave a head. You can see that the proportion of heads starts at 1 on the first toss, falls to 0.5 when the second toss gives a tail, then rises to 0.67, and then falls to 0.5, and 0.4 as we get two more tails. After that, the proportion of heads continues to fluctuate but never exceeds 0.5 again..
