All probabilities in an event sum to

1

What does complement probability measure?

Probability that an event won't happen

Complement rule formula

P(extnot)=1P(extevent)P( ext{not}) = 1 - P( ext{event})

Finding unknown probabilities in table

Set up equation: all probabilities sum to 1

Definition of expectation

How many times an event is expected to occur over many trials

Expectation formula

Number of trials × probability

Fair experiment meaning

All outcomes equally likely

Biased experiment meaning

Some outcomes more likely than others

P(extNOTrolling6ondice)P( ext{NOT rolling 6 on dice})

1 - rac{1}{6} = rac{5}{6}

How to detect bias using expectation

Results differ greatly from expected values
