Let us see about the experiment of random occurrence,
An outcome is produced from an operation through experiment is called as random experiment and also produce different possible outcomes. In a random experiment, an outcome random experiment is unpredictable.
Some more examples for random occurrence in random experiment:
- Coin is Tossing
- Die is rolling
- Take a card from a packet of card.
- Take a possible ball from bag contains different balls.
Some definitions about random occurrence:
Let we see about some definitions about random occurrence,
Trial: Random experiment performing by this.
Sample space: In a random occurrence,the possible outcomes are taken by in set is known as sample space and is represented as S. When we roll a die, the possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 .
Sample space is S = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Sample space is S = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Event: Possible outcome or combination of outcomes is known as an event.An each subset of the sample space S is known as an event. Events represented as A, B, C, D, E. While coin is tossing, getting a head or tail is take as an event. S = { H, T}, A = {H}, B = {T}.
Formula for random occurrence:
Let we see about formula for random occurrence,
If a sample space contains n outcomes, m of which are favorable to an event E, then the probability of an event E, denoted by P (E),
Number of favorable outcomes
P(E) = Total number of outcomes number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes
Number of favorable outcomes
P(E) = Total number of outcomes number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes
= P(E) / P(S)
here,P(E) - Total number of outcomes number of favorable outcomes.
P(S) - Total number of outcomes.
Examples:
1) Find the random occurrence (probability) to getting two heads when two coins are tossed simultaneously?
Solution:
In tossing two coins the sample space S = {HH, HT, TH, TT}, n(S) = 4.
Let A denote the event of getting two heads A = {HH}, n(A) = 1.
Therefore,probability to getting two heads P =n(A)/n(S) = 1/4.
Let A denote the event of getting two heads A = {HH}, n(A) = 1.
Therefore,probability to getting two heads P =n(A)/n(S) = 1/4.
2) Find the random occurrence getting 3 when rolling a die?
Solution:
In rolling a die, the sample space S ={ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} : n (S) = 6.
Let A be an event of getting 3
A = { 3 }, n (A) = 1
Let A be an event of getting 3
A = { 3 }, n (A) = 1
∴ P(A) = n(A) / n(S)
= 1/ 6.
