What you'll learn

Calculating the chance of events.

Key skills

  • Probability from 0 to 1; the complement P(not A) = 1 − P(A).
  • Mutually exclusive events: add probabilities.
  • Independent events: multiply probabilities.
  • Tree diagrams (with and without replacement) and expected frequency.

Exam tips

  • Check whether events are with or without replacement.
  • Multiply along tree branches; add outcomes for 'or'.

Common mistakes

  • Adding when you should multiply.
  • Forgetting probabilities change in 'without replacement' problems.
