Probability Basics ๐ฏ๐
๐ Probability is used to predict chances of events happening.
It is the foundation of Machine Learning AI.
๐น 1. What is Probability?
Probability is the chance of an event occurring.
โ
Formula
P(Event) = Favorable Outcomes / Total Outcomes
๐ฅ 2. Basic Example
๐ Toss a coin
โข Possible outcomes: {Head, Tail}
โข P(Head) = 1/2 = 0.5
โข P(Tail) = 1/2 = 0.5
๐น 3. Types of Events
โ
Independent Events
๐ One event does NOT affect another.
Example: Coin toss + Dice roll
โ
Dependent Events
๐ One event affects another.
Example: Picking cards without replacement
๐น 4. Important Probability Rules โญ
โ
Addition Rule
When events are mutually exclusive:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
โ
Multiplication Rule
P(A and B) = P(A) ร P(B) (for independent events)
๐น 5. Conditional Probability โญ
๐ Probability of A given B
P(A|B) = P(AโฉB)/P(B)
๐น 6. Real-Life Example
๐ Spam detection
โข Probability that an email is spam based on words used.
๐น 7. Why Probability is Important?
โ Used in ML algorithms (Naive Bayes)
โ Helps in predictions
โ Used in risk analysis
