P(A∪B) is pronounced....
"Probability of A union B"
How many possible ways (e.g. combinations) are there to be dealt AK?
42 = 16
Everyone on team must answer:
How much time did you spend on math homework this weekend?
P(A∩B) is pronounced...
You: 8s7s
Villain: AdJd (but "unknown" to us)
Board: Js Ts 7c 4h
With one card left, write your probability to win as a fraction in simplest form.
Outs: two 7's, three 8's, four 9's, eight spades (there's actually nine spades left, but one is the 9s) = 17 outs
= 17/46
What are some tactics you can use when you don't understand something in class, or you don't understand the homework, or both?
At least two people on team must answer (can't give the same answer)
If P(A) = P(A|B), the events are called...
Independent
You: Ks8s
Board: 8c 8d 7s 4h
How many combinations of hands currently beat you?
87 (3), 84 (3), 77 (3), 44 (3), A8 (4), 65 (16) = 32 combinations
Everyone on team must answer: Describe your typical routine for completing weekend homework.
If two events never occur at the same time, they are called...
Mutually exclusive
You: AdKs
Board: 8s Tc 5h
If order doesn't matter, how many possible turn/river combinations are there?
47c2 = (47*46) / 2 = 1,081
Give 1 example of mutually exclusive events,
1 example of independent events,
and 1 example of disjoint (dependent) events.
You can't use an example discussed in class, but you can use an example from your HW.
Consider the general scenario where we have 17 outs on the flop. What is our probability of winning by the river? Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.
~59.8%
17/47 + (17/46)(1 - 17/47)
