Fundamental principle of counting: If an operation consists of k steps, of which the rst can be
done in n1 ways, for each of these the second step can be done in n2 ways, for each of the rst two the
third step can be done in n3 ways, an so forth, then the whole operation can be done in n1 n2 nk
ways.

The number of permutation of n distinct objects taken r at a time is n Pr = (nr)!
for r =
0, 1, 2, , n. The number of permutations of n objects of which n1 are of one kind, n2 are of a second kind, , nk are of a k th type, and n = n1 + n2 + + nk is n Pn1 ,n2 , ,nk = n1 !nn!

Independent Events: Events A and B are independent if and only if P (A B) = P (A)P (B), or in
other words P (B|A) = P (B). If A and B are independent, then A and B 0 are also independent.
Bayes' Theorem:
Probability distributions:
I. Discrete case.
Discrete probability distributions (or probability functions): If X is a discrete random
variable, the function given by f (x) = P (X = x) for each x within the range of X is called the
probability
distribution of X . f (x) is a probability distribution if and only if (1) f (x) 0, and (2)
P
x f (x) = 1.
If X is a discrete random variable,
P
the function given by F (x) = P (X x) = tx f (t) for < x < where f (t) is the value of
the probability distribution of X at t, is called the distribution function of X . If F (x) is a distribution
function then (1) F () = 0, F () = 1, and (2) if a b, then F (a) F (b) for any real numbers a
and b.
If the range of a random variable X consists of the values x1 < x2 < x3 < < xn , then f (x1 ) =
F (x1 ) and f (xi ) = F (xi ) F (xi1 ) for i = 2, 3, , n.
