What does it mean if events A and B are mutually exclusive? Also, \(P(A\cap B)=?\) Events A and B cannot happen at the same time. \[P(A\cap B)=0\]
What does it mean if events A and B are independent? Also, \(P(A\cap B)=?\) If A happens, this does not affect the probability of B happening (and vice versa). \[P(A\cap B)=P(A) \times P(B)\]
\[P(A|B)=?\] (there is a rearranged version of this given in the formulae book) \[P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}\]
If events A and B are independent, then \(P(A|B)=?\) \[P(A|B)=P(A)\]
If events A and B are independent, then \(P(B|A)=?\) \[P(B|A)=P(B)\]
The addition law for events A and B is \[P(A\cup B)=?\] (given in formulae book) \[P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)\]
\[P(A')=?\] \[P(A')=1-P(A)\] \(A'\) is called the complement of \(A\) and \(P(A')\) is the probability of \(A\) not happening
For events A and B that are NOT independent, \[P(A\cap B)=?\] \[\begin{align*} P(A\cap B)&=P(A)\times P(B|A)\\ & =P(B)\times P(A|B) \end{align*}\]

For a discrete random variable \(X\) taking values \(x_i\) with probabilities \(p_i\), \[\text{E}(X)=?\] (given in formulae book) \[\text{E}(X)=\sum x_i p_i \]
For a discrete random variable \(X\) taking values \(x_i\) with probabilities \(p_i\), \[\text{Var}(X)=?\] (given in formulae book) \[\begin{align*} \text{Var}(X)&=\sum x_i^2 p_i -\mu^2\\ &=\text{E}(X^2)-(\text{E}(X))^2 \end{align*}\]

How would you use the Binomial or Poisson tables to find \(P(X<n)\)? \[P(X<n)=P(X\leq n-1)\]
For a continuous probability distribution, how are \(f(x)\) and \(F(x)\) related? \[f(x)=F'(x)\] \[F(x)=P(X\leq x)=\int _{-\infty} ^x f(t) \, \text{d}t\]

Describe this shaded area using set notation in two ways \[A'\cap B'\] or \[(A\cup B)'\]
How is variance related to standard deviation? \[\text{variance}=(\text{stand. dev.})^2\] OR \[\text{stand. dev.}=\sqrt{\text{Variance}}\]
