Complement Rules: P(A) + P(AC) = 1 P(A) = 1 – P(AC) P(AC) = 1 – P(A) Mutually Exclusive Events: P(A ∩ B) = 0
Union Rule: P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)Independent Events: P(A ∩ B) = P(A) ‧ P(B)
Intersection Rule: P(A ∩ B) = P(A) ‧ P(B|A)Conditional Probability Rule: P(AB)=P(AB)P(B)
Fundamental Counting Rule: m1·m2···mnFactorial Rule: n! = n·(n – 1)·(n – 2)···3·2·1
Combination Rule: nCr=n!(r!(nr)!)Permutation Rule: nPr=n!(nr)!
