00:0-1 Good day . Welcome to Attack Math Channel . What
00:01 we're going to be having a look at this video
00:03 is how to work out probability over multiple events .
00:07 An example , this I say you maybe had a
00:09 coin and you flipped it and you wanted to know
00:12 how many different times you would get head . So
00:15 you're going to flip it twice ? Did you ?
00:17 Could you get heads twice ? Ok . So heads
00:19 and then heads again . And what were the probability
00:21 of that ? Or for maybe for example , what
00:23 would be having a look at is where a bag
00:25 of marbles like we have here had Yeah , three
00:29 blue marbles and three red marbles . And what would
00:34 be the probability if we were to draw out two
00:36 marbles and maybe getting both of them being read .
00:39 And so we're going to be looking at these types
00:41 of questions . Okay , what you gonna notice with
00:44 these these these probabilities occur of multiple events and are
00:47 easy to work out . We just got to keep
00:49 in mind a few things in this video , we're
00:51 gonna be looking at some of these sort of things
00:53 . So we're gonna be looking at product in addition
00:54 rules , improbability as well as events , how they
00:57 can be independent or dependent on each other and how
01:00 these affect calculations . So let's just get on and
01:04 have a look at these with a few examples and
01:06 don't forget if you like this video , don't just
01:09 sit there and lightly caressed the like button . Actually
01:11 smash that like button , smash it . Hey if
01:14 you haven't subscribed already please subscribe . Anyway , I'm
01:17 just gonna look at a few examples . Okay for
01:19 the first example we're going to have a look at
01:21 this , we're going to be considering flipping a coin
01:24 twice and just having a bit of a look about
01:26 how we might work out various probabilities of outcomes that
01:29 might occur . So to illustrate this , a really
01:32 good way would be a tree diagram . So we
01:35 have our first flip and we could get two possible
01:39 outcomes , we get a head or a tail ,
01:41 so we get ahead or a tile . This would
01:45 be our first flip . We have a second flip
01:48 where we have also two possible outcomes . We get
01:51 once again head or a tail or we could have
01:55 got tails first and we could get a head or
01:59 a tail . Now , just a couple of things
02:02 , which is really important to probably get at this
02:04 stage um which is this what you're going to notice
02:07 ? The probability of each event ? Ikaria probability of
02:10 getting ahead is one into the probability getting a tail
02:15 is one and two . And so our first flip
02:17 here probably getting ahead is one and two are probably
02:20 getting a tale is one and two . We consider
02:22 our second flip . You probably noticed really quickly that
02:26 it's also the probability of getting ahead here is a
02:28 one and two and the probability getting a tale here
02:30 is one and two . That is to say that
02:32 these particular events in the second flip are independent of
02:36 the first . I'm actually going to write that down
02:38 . It's a really important thing to get this word
02:40 here , that this is in dependent . Okay ,
02:45 uh each particular uh , outcome or each probability is
02:51 independent or each event is independent of the other event
02:54 . Okay . It's not affected by it . So
02:57 we have a half chance of this occurring and a
03:00 half chance of this occurring . Okay , so you
03:03 can see this so far , we've set this up
03:05 and it's all pretty nice . So what is the
03:07 probability of this happening ? What is the probability of
03:12 getting ahead and ahead ? We can use our probabilities
03:17 here to work this out . Okay , Because the
03:19 probability getting ahead at the start is equal to a
03:23 half and the probability of getting so this particular thing
03:27 here , we can get ahead here and we can
03:29 get a head here and there probably to get the
03:31 second one is also a half . Now this gets
03:35 to a first rule of probability with multiple events and
03:38 that's the product rule , pretty much the probability of
03:42 two or more events occurring together can be calculated .
03:44 So two or more events getting ahead and getting ahead
03:47 can be calculated simply by multiplying these individual probabilities .
03:51 Okay , so the probability one times one is one
03:55 , two times 2 is four . The probability of
03:57 getting two heads Is one in 4 . Okay ,
04:01 what about the probability of getting uh Tales ? Tales
04:07 and Tales , you probably look at this and go
04:09 , okay , it's the same sort of thing that
04:10 probably are getting their tails as a half . The
04:12 probability of getting a tales is also half . And
04:16 so we're talking about this event followed by this event
04:19 , we're gonna multiply these , this is a one
04:22 in four chance . Okay I'm just going to take
04:26 this one step further and show you a different rule
04:28 in this . Just give myself a bit of space
04:30 here . So I'm going to get rid of these
04:32 two probabilities here and I'm going to talk about a
04:35 different thing that might occur . What about the probability
04:37 of getting one head at one tail ? But not
04:42 necessarily in that order it might be a tail and
04:45 a head or head and the tail and you're gonna
04:47 see what to do that . We actually have two
04:49 different ways it can occur . We could first off
04:50 get ahead and then a tail . Or we can
04:52 get a tail and then ahead . So I'm gonna
04:54 write both of these ones down . So first off
04:57 , if we go head tail , the probability of
05:00 getting that is half of getting that first head and
05:03 then half , you might say okay we're gonna multiply
05:06 those because they're in a , you know that particularly
05:08 this event followed by this event , we're gonna multiply
05:11 these , this is a one in four chance of
05:13 getting ahead in a tail . The chance of getting
05:15 a tail then ahead , it's also a half times
05:18 a half . Okay , half 12.5 which is equal
05:23 to a quarter . So this gets to our second
05:26 rule when we're looking at multiple events and probability is
05:30 this if we're talking about um two events that are
05:34 mutually exclusive that are not affecting one . In other
05:36 words , trying to find out the total probability .
05:38 Save something like with the tail and a head here
05:40 and there's a couple of different ways this can occur
05:43 throughout outcomes . What we do is we're going to
05:46 add these , we're going to add at quarter and
05:49 a quarter to get the total probability because the head
05:52 and the tail is the same as a tail and
05:54 a head . So what's a quarter plus a quarter
05:56 , you probably look at it and say , okay
05:58 , that's two quarters . Okay , so the probability
06:01 of that occurring , it's two quarters okay ? Or
06:03 a half . So something to be aware of .
06:06 Okay , so that's the product rule where we multiply
06:09 these if we're looking at something occurring in a line
06:11 like that and then we've got something which is occurring
06:13 , you know , and we're saying we want this
06:16 and this occurring , we're going to add them together
06:18 . Okay , that's the addition rule . So I'm
06:21 going to go through another example and show you just
06:23 a variation of this . All right . In this
06:25 example , what we're gonna have a look at is
06:27 we have a bag and it has three blue marbles
06:30 and two red marbles , and we're gonna take two
06:32 marbles out . Now we're going to work out also
06:36 . Now what are different probabilities of different outcomes could
06:39 be in the probabilities of those outcomes occurring . So
06:42 once again , let's draw up a tree diagram .
06:45 So we have our first event where we're taking out
06:48 the first marble . Okay , So the first marble
06:50 you'll probably look at and say , okay , we
06:52 could either end up with a blue marble or we
06:54 could end up with a red marble . So we
06:58 do that , we're gonna pull out the blue marble
07:01 , we get rid of that for instance , and
07:02 then the next event . What we can do is
07:04 we might end up with a blue marble or a
07:08 red marble or for the we might get a red
07:10 one first . We could end up with a blue
07:13 marble or a red marble . Okay so let's have
07:17 a bit of a look here about the various probabilities
07:19 of each individual party . Now this is something to
07:23 be very very wary of because the probability of each
07:25 event is not independent . Okay , each probability is
07:29 each particular event is not independently other . I'll show
07:32 you what I mean by that to say . For
07:34 instance , I pull this first blue marble out .
07:37 You can probably guess . Okay there's three blue marbles
07:39 out of a total of five marbles . For the
07:42 reds . There is two out of 5 to 5
07:45 chance of getting a red marble first . That's for
07:48 our first removal for the second one . What you
07:51 might notice is this if I was to remove ,
07:54 Okay , we pick a blue marble and we get
07:56 rid of it . Now what's the actual probability getting
07:59 a blue marble now ? Because these are not independent
08:03 , they are dependent on one of this . Actually
08:04 . Now depends the probability of this , depends on
08:07 what happened here . We have two blue marbles now
08:10 out of a possible for and to get a read
08:13 . We have two out of four . Okay ,
08:16 maybe that didn't happen . And maybe what happened instead
08:19 is we went down here and we picked the read
08:21 out first , so we got rid of a red
08:22 . What's the probability of getting a blue marble ?
08:25 There's three out of four . The probability getting it
08:28 . Red is one out of four . And this
08:30 is an example of a dependent or write that down
08:34 . These are where we have uh different events that
08:38 are dependent on each other dependent , Okay . And
08:41 it's something to be really really aware of because it
08:43 changes these probabilities as we go . But if a
08:46 hint here , what you might see is occasionally you'll
08:49 see this described as two tables , marbles are taken
08:51 out without replacement . If they say they are replaced
08:55 , what we're talking about is the marbles get put
08:56 back in , and what it would mean is that
08:59 we would end up with independent type scenario . Okay
09:01 . Where we'd end up with still five marbles in
09:04 here , so it wouldn't really affect these later ones
09:06 and it wouldn't affect the probabilities here . So you
09:09 probably notice here that we can work out probabilities here
09:11 . What's the probability of getting uh to blues or
09:17 only go through each one of these ? What's the
09:19 probability of getting a blue and a red ? What's
09:23 the probability of getting a red and a blue ?
09:27 Red and the blue ? What's the probability of getting
09:29 a red and a red ? Okay , let's have
09:33 a quick look at these and these are all going
09:35 to end up being product ones . We're gonna multiply
09:37 this week , gold on the product . You know
09:39 , we've got a three and five chance of getting
09:41 the first blue . We have a two in four
09:44 chance of getting the second blue multiply these here .
09:48 Two times three is equal to six . Five times
09:52 four is equal to 20 . Now , I know
09:54 you can simplify this further . I'm going to leave
09:56 that to you . I'm not gonna do that right
09:57 now because let's face it , I'm gonna run out
09:59 of space if I do that . What about the
10:01 probability of getting a blue than a red ? That
10:02 is a 3-5 chance of getting the blue . And
10:06 to get this red here , there's a two in
10:07 four chance . So this also is a six and
10:10 20 probability this one here , we have a two
10:14 in five chance of getting a red first and then
10:17 a blue we have a three and four chance .
10:20 I'm going to multiply those , we end up with
10:21 a once again a six out of 20 probability to
10:25 get to reds . There's a two and five chance
10:28 at the start of actually getting the first red and
10:30 then there's a one in four chance of getting that
10:33 one second red . So two times one is 2/20
10:37 you're gonna notice that two plus six plus six plus
10:39 six adds up to 20 . So all our probabilities
10:41 are there and that's the product uh product all in
10:44 action there . Now , I might also say ,
10:46 okay , we can actually do this a little bit
10:47 differently and maybe I say , okay , what about
10:49 a blue and a red , but not in any
10:51 particular order ? You go , okay , well we'll
10:53 have to add , This is six out of 20
10:55 , I can't even write this down here , I'm
10:56 gonna be struggling for space anywhere , I'm gonna rub
10:59 this out , I reckon I'll put it here .
11:01 What's the probability of the one red at one blue
11:09 ? You can sit there and go , okay ,
11:10 well we've got two ways . This can help ,
11:12 we can get a blue and a red , which
11:13 is a six out of 20 , And we've got
11:16 a red and blue , which is a six out
11:18 of 20 , and we're going to add these ,
11:20 Okay , This is a 12 out of 20 probability
11:23 of occurring . Okay , so this is an example
11:29 of a dependent event . Okay , Where an event
11:32 actually changes the probabilities of each little part here and
11:36 something to be wary of . What about one more
11:38 example ? Okay , I'm gonna not vary this one
11:41 up too much because I think it maybe it's a
11:43 good idea to this at this stage , we're gonna
11:44 go to marbles taken out , same sort of bag
11:47 , we have two reds and three blues , but
11:48 this time with replacement . Let's see what happens .
11:51 Okay , so if we take the blue marble first
11:54 , you have a three and five chance to get
11:57 a red marble in the first drawing , you have
11:59 a two and five chance . Now imagine we are
12:03 , take this blue marble out . Here we go
12:06 , we're gonna take it out but it's gonna get
12:07 replaced . Okay , so that means we're putting it
12:10 back in , so I've taken it out , but
12:11 now I'm putting it straight back in . So what's
12:13 the chance now of getting a blue marble ? And
12:16 you go , okay , well it's still actually three
12:17 out of five And to get a red is two
12:21 out of five . Okay , you're going to notice
12:23 that the actual probabilities are not changing here . And
12:26 if we almost treat this event , were we not
12:28 almost we exactly treat this event as independent because these
12:32 outcomes here are not affected . These events here are
12:35 not affected by this previous event . This would be
12:37 a three out of five and this would be it's
12:39 two out of five . And so hence our overall
12:42 probabilities would change . Remember this probability of getting now
12:45 say blue and blue is we're gonna multiply these through
12:50 , it's gonna be three out of five times three
12:53 out of five , which is going to be three
12:55 times three is 9/25 . We're gonna probability getting say
13:00 a blue and a red , blue and a red
13:03 is going to be equal to three out of five
13:06 , Talks to 85 , which is going to be
13:09 six out of 25 . Okay . Notice the probabilities
13:12 are all of a sudden different . The probabilities of
13:15 getting a red and a blue is equal to two
13:20 out of five times three out of 52 out of
13:21 five times three out of five , Which is going
13:24 to be equal to six out of 25 . The
13:26 probability of getting a red and a red , it's
13:30 equal to two out of five Times two out of
13:35 five , Which is going to be four out of
13:38 25 . So be really , really careful of these
13:41 when you do these , that if its replacement ,
13:44 that you are going to treat it differently too ,
13:46 It's not replaced . Okay . Uh so , you
13:50 know , you can actually now say , okay ,
13:51 what's the probability , You can always say ? What's
13:53 the probability of two blues or to read this may
13:55 be the probability of um at least one blue .
14:05 What's the probability of this ? Well this one has
14:08 at least one blew this one has at least one
14:10 blew . This one has at least one blue .
14:12 It's out of 25 because we're gonna add all these
14:16 together . So 25 25 25 the dog when they
14:19 stay in the same nine plus six plus six is
14:22 12 . We have 21 it's 21 at 25 probability
14:28 . Tell you what we'll do one more . Okay
14:30 , in this example what we're gonna have a look
14:31 at is a scenario . We have six apples where
14:34 three of them are good and three of them are
14:36 bad . We're going to take two out at random
14:38 . Okay ? So let's draw up a tree here
14:41 we have Good bad . That's our first one .
14:44 We have Good , bad , good , bad .
14:47 I reckon you should give this a go without waiting
14:49 for me by the way , we're gonna take these
14:51 out at random and remember we're not actually putting them
14:54 back , there is no replacement . So what I
14:55 recommend you go through first . Can you work at
14:57 the probabilities of each of these particular outcomes of getting
15:01 a probability of getting a good good , the probability
15:04 of getting a good bad , the probability of getting
15:08 a bad good and the probability of getting a bad
15:12 , bad and I will sleep that one . We'll
15:14 see how we go with those ones , go for
15:17 it . So first off go through and work out
15:20 your probabilities of each particular event and then go from
15:23 there using those product rules . Okay , So give
15:26 me the floor . Hopefully you did . All right
15:29 , okay . The probability of getting a good apple
15:31 to start off with is three and a six or
15:33 a half . Its three out of six here as
15:35 well . Um If you choose a good apple first
15:39 , I'm just gonna so we choose one of these
15:43 , we'll get rid of it . So what's our
15:46 probability now of getting a good apple you might say
15:49 ? Okay , it's two out of five . Probably
15:52 getting a bad apple is three out of five because
15:54 these are actually a dependent , particular dependent events here
16:00 . Okay , well maybe that didn't happen , Maybe
16:02 my apple was okay . And there it is ,
16:06 and instead what we did is we took a bad
16:08 apple at first . Okay , let's have a look
16:10 at what happens here . You know , the probability
16:12 of getting a good apple . Is there going to
16:14 be three out of five ? We have three good
16:17 apples out of five apples . The probably are getting
16:19 a bad apple is going to be two out of
16:21 five . Okay , what's our different probabilities here ?
16:24 Probably getting uh two good apples is three out of
16:28 six Times two out of five . We're just following
16:33 up their pathway there . 3 to 665 to 30
16:37 . What's probably getting a good and a bad ,
16:39 you might go , okay , that's a three out
16:41 of six Times three out of five , which is
16:45 going to be three , threes and nine out of
16:48 30 . The probability getting a bad and a good
16:53 we have three out of six times three and 53
16:57 out of six times three out of five , Which
17:00 is gonna be nine out of 30 or so ,
17:03 and they're probably getting two bads is three out of
17:05 six times two out of 53 out of six times
17:08 two out of five , Which is going to be
17:11 six out of 30 . There you go . How'd
17:15 you go that now ? If I was to say
17:16 once again , what's the Probably getting a good apple
17:19 and a bad apple ? You probably go cable .
17:21 And I might say now , what's the probability of
17:23 getting a good apple and a bad apple ? And
17:26 you might say okay in any order we could add
17:29 these two together . Nine out of 30 plus nine
17:31 out of 30 would give us at least getting a
17:33 good apple and are getting a bad apple . Would
17:35 give us an 18 out of 30 probability anyway ,
17:40 look , hopefully you found this is some use that
17:42 are the Product Edition rules , multiple probability events there
17:46 . Hopefully this video is some help to you .
