Description: Mrs. Schmulen invites 10 relatives to a party: her mother, 2 uncles, 3 brothers, and 4 cousins. If the chances of any one guest arriving first are equally likely, find each probability. (a) The first guest is an uncle or a brother. (b) The first guest is a brother or a cousin. (c) The first guest is a brother or her mother.

Key Concepts

Addition Rule

The Addition Rule in probability is used to compute the probability of the occurrence of at least one of several mutually exclusive events by summing their individual probabilities. This rule is applicable when the occurrence of one event excludes the occurrence of the other.

Counting Techniques

Counting techniques involve systematically counting the number of elements in sets of outcomes. In probability, accurate counting of both the total outcomes and the favorable outcomes is crucial for determining the correct probability of specific events.

Probability

Probability is a measure of the chance that a particular event will occur. It is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes, which is a fundamental idea in evaluating random events.

Equally Likely Outcomes

When outcomes are equally likely, each individual outcome has the same chance of occurring. This assumption allows one to determine probabilities simply by counting the number of outcomes for an event and dividing by the total number of outcomes, making it an essential concept in basic probability problems.
