Pr(A

). (2.2)

It should be noted that Axiom 2.3a and Corollary 2.1 could be viewed as special

cases of Axiom 2.3b. So, a more concise development could be obtained by starting

with Axioms 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3b. This may be more pleasing to some, but we believe

the approach given here is a little easier to follow for the student learning the

material for the ﬁrst time.

The preceding axioms do not tell us directly how to deal with the probability of

the union of two sets that are not mutually exclusive. This can be determined from

these axioms as follows.

THEOREM 2.1: For any sets A and B (not necessarily mutually exclusive),

Pr(A ∪ B) = Pr(A) +Pr(B) − Pr(A ∩ B). (2.3)

PROOF: We give a visual proof of this important result using the Venn diagram

shown in Figure 2.1. To aid the student in the type of reasoning needed to complete

proofs of this type, it is helpful to think of a pile of sand lying in the sample space

shown in Figure 2.1. The probability of the event A would then be analogous to

the mass of that subset of the sand pile that is above the region A and likewise for

the probability of the event B. For the union of the two events, if we simply added

the mass of the sand above A to the mass of the sand above B, we would double

count that region that is common to both sets. Hence, it is necessary to subtract the

probability of A ∩B. We freely admit that this proof is not rigorous. It is possible to

prove Theorem 2.1 without having to call on our sand analogy or even the use of

Venn diagrams. The logic of the proof will closely follow what we have done here.

The reader is led through that proof in Exercise 2.2. 

Many other fundamental results can also be obtained from the basic axioms of

probability. A few simple ones are presented here. More will be developed later

in this chapter and in subsequent chapters. As with Theorem 2.1, it might help the

student to visualize these proofs by drawing a Venn diagram.

THEOREM 2.2: Pr(

A) = 1 − Pr(A).

PROOF:

1 = Pr(S) = Pr(A ∪

A) (by Axiom 2.2)

= Pr(A) + Pr(

A) (by Axiom 2.3a)

∴ Pr(

A) = 1 − Pr(A).

THEOREM 2.3: If A ⊂ B, then Pr(A) ≤Pr(B).

PROOF: See Exercise 2.4. 

2.3 Assigning Probabilities

In the previous section, probability was deﬁned as a measure of the likelihood

of an event or events that satisfy the three Axioms 2.1–2.3. How probabilities are

assigned to particular events was not speciﬁed. Mathematically, any assignment

that satisﬁes the given axioms is acceptable. Practically speaking, we would like to

assign probabilities to events in such a way that the probability assignment actually

represents the likelihood of occurrence of that event. Two techniques are typically

used for this purpose and are described in the following paragraphs.

In many experiments, it is possible to specify all of the outcomes of the exper-

iment in terms of some fundamental outcomes, which we refer to as atomic

outcomes. These are the most basic events that cannot be decomposed into simpler

events. From these atomic outcomes, we can build more complicated and more

interesting events. Quite often we can justify assigning equal probabilities to all

atomic outcomes in an experiment. In that case, if there are M mutually exclusive

exhaustive atomic events, then each one should be assigned a probability of 1/M.

Not only does this make perfect common sense, it also satisﬁes the mathematical

16 Chapter 2 Introduction to Probability Theory

EXAMPLE 2.8: In Example 2.3, a pair of dice were rolled. In this exper-

iment, the most basic outcomes are the 36 different combinations of

the six atomic outcomes of the previous example. Again, each of these

atomic outcomes is assigned a probability of 1/36. Next, suppose we

want to ﬁnd the probability of the event A ={sum of two dice =5}. Then,

Pr(A) = Pr((1,4) ∪ (2, 3) ∪(3,2) ∪ (4, 1))

= Pr(1, 4) + Pr(2, 3) +Pr(3, 2) +Pr(4, 1) (by Corollary 2.1)

= 1/36 + 1/36 + 1/36 + 1/36 (by probability assignment)

= 1/9.

EXAMPLE 2.9: In this example we will use the MATLAB com-

mand rand to simulate the ﬂipping of coins and the rolling of

dice. The command rand(m,n) creates a matrix of m rows and n

columns, where each element of the matrix is a randomly selected

number equally likely to fall anywhere in the interval (0,1). By rounding this

number to the nearest integer, we can create a randomly selected number

equally likely to be 0 or 1. This can be used to simulate the ﬂipping of a coin

if we interpret 0 as “tails” and 1 as “heads” or vice versa. Similarly, if we

multiply rand(1) by 6 and round up to the nearest integer, we will get one

of the numbers 1, 2, ... , 6 with equal probability. This can be used to simulate

the rolling of a die. Try running the following script in MATLAB.

% Simulation of coin flipping and die tossing.

coin_flip=round(rand(1)) % Simulate flip of a coin.

die_toss=ceil(6*rand(1)) % Simulate toss of one die.

dice_toss=ceil(6*rand(1,2)) % Simulate toss of two dice.

You should ﬁnd that each time you run this script, you get different (random)

looking results. With any MATLAB command, if you want more information

on what the command does, type help followed by the command name at the

MATLAB prompt for detailed information on that command. For example,

to get help on the rand command, type help rand.

Care must be taken when using the classical approach to assigning probabil-

ities. If we deﬁne the set of atomic outcomes incorrectly, unsatisfactory results

2.3 Assigning Probabilities 17

may occur. In Example 2.8, we may be tempted to deﬁne the set of atomic outcomes

as the different sums that can occur on the two die faces. If we assign equally likely

probability to each of these outcomes, then we arrive at the assignment

Pr(sum = 2) = Pr(sum = 3) =···=Pr(sum = 12) = 1/11. (2.5)

Anyone with experience in games involving dice knows that the likelihood of

rollinga2ismuch lower than the likelihood of rolling a 7. The problem here is that

the atomic events we have assigned are not the most basic outcomes and can be

decomposed into simpler outcomes, as demonstrated in Example 2.8.

This is not the only problem encountered in the classical approach. Suppose

we consider an experiment that consists of measuring the height of an arbitrarily

chosen student in your class and rounding that measurement to the nearest inch.

The atomic outcomes of this experiment would consist of all the heights of the

students in your class. However, it would not be reasonable to assign an equal

probability to each height. Those heights corresponding to very tall or very short

students would be expected to be less probable than those heights corresponding

to a medium height. So, how then do we assign probabilities to these events? The

problems associated with the classical approach to assigning probabilities can be

overcome by using the relative frequency approach.

The relative frequency approach requires that the experiment we are concerned

with be repeatable, in which case, the probability of an event, A, can be assigned by

repeating the experiment a large number of times and observing how many times

the event A actually occurs. If we let n be the number of times the experiment is

repeatedand n

bethe number oftimes the event A is observed, then the probability

of the event A can be assigned according to

Pr(A) = lim

n→∞

. (2.6)

This approach to assigning probability is based on experimental results and thus

has a more practical ﬂavor to it. It is left as an exercise for the reader (seeExercise 2.6)

to conﬁrm that this method does indeed satisfy the axioms of probability and is

thereby mathematically correct as well.

EXAMPLE 2.10: Consider the dice rolling experiment of Exam-

ples 2.3 and 2.8. We will use the relative frequency approach to

assign the probability of the event, A = {sum of two dice = 5}. We

simulated the tossing of two dice using the following MATLAB

code. The results of this dice tossing simulation are shown in Table 2.1.
