Lesson 4. The theorem of addition of probabilities.

14.1. Brief theoretical part

The probability of the sum of two events is determined by the formula

P( A+AT) = P( A)+P( B) - R( AB),

which generalizes to the sum of any number of events

For incompatible events, the probability of the sum of events is equal to the sum of the probabilities of these events, i.e. .

24.2. Test

a) When the probability of occurrence of one of them does not depend on the probability of occurrence of the second

b) When at least one of these events occurs during the test

c) When the joint occurrence of these events is impossible

d) When both of these events occur in the course of the experiment

34.3. Solution of typical tasks

Example 4.1. Determine the probability that a batch of one hundred products, including five defective ones, will be accepted when testing at random a selected half of the entire batch, if the acceptance conditions allow no more than one out of fifty defective products.
Decision.

With, consisting in the fact that a batch of one hundred products, among which five are defective, will be accepted when testing at random a selected half of the entire batch.

Denote by BUT an event consisting in the fact that no defective products were received during the test, and after AT- an event consisting in the fact that only one defective item is received.

Since С=А+В, then the desired probability P(C) = Р( BUT+B).

Events BUT and AT incompatible. Therefore P(C) = P( BUT)+ P( B).

Of the 100 products, 50 can be selected in ways. Of the 95 non-defective products, 50 can be selected in ways.

Therefore R( A)=.

Similarly R( B)= .

P(C) = P( BUT)+ P( B)=+==0,181.
Example 4.2. Electrical circuit between points M and N compiled according to the scheme shown in Fig. 5.

Failure over time T different elements of the chain - independent events with the following probabilities (Table 1).

Table 1

Element K 1 K 2 L 1 L 2 L 3 Probability0,60,50,40,70,9 Determine the probability of a circuit breaking in a specified time interval.
Decision.
Let us consider the event With, consisting in the fact that for the specified period of time there will be a chain break.

Denote by A j (j= 1,2) an event consisting in the failure of an element To j, through BUT- failure of at least one element To j, and through AT- failure of all three elements BUT i (i=1, 2, 3).

Then the desired probability

R( With) = P( A + AT) = P( A) + P( AT) - R( A)R( B).

R( A) = P( A 1 ) + P( A 2 ) - R( A 1 )R( A 2 ) = 0,8,

R( AT) = P( L 1 )R( L 2 ) R( L 3 ) = 0,252,

then.
Example 4.3. The urn contains n white, m blacks and l red balls, which are drawn at random one at a time:

a) no return

b) with return after each extraction.

Determine in both cases the probabilities that the white ball will be drawn before the black one.
Decision.

Let be R 1 is the probability that the white ball will be drawn before the black one, and R 11 is the probability that the black ball will be drawn before the white one.

Probability R 1 is the sum of the probabilities of drawing a white ball immediately, after drawing one red, two reds, etc. Thus, one can write in the case when the balls are not returned,

and when the balls return

To get probabilities R 11 in the previous formulas, you need to replace n on the m, a m on the n. It follows that in both cases R 1 :R 11 = n:m. Since, moreover, R 1 +R 11 = 1, then the desired probability when drawing balls without replacement is also equal.
Example 4.4. Someone wrote n letters, sealed them in envelopes, and then randomly wrote a different address on each of them. Determine the probability that at least one of the envelopes has the correct address.
Decision.

Let the event A k is that on k-th envelope contains the correct address ( k=l, 2,..., n).

The desired probability.

Events A k joint; for any different k, j, i, ... equalities hold:

Using the formula for the probability of the sum n events, we get

At large n.
