gambler fallacy: each possible outcome will
occur the average number of times in each
series of trials
heuristic: general strategy for solving
a problem or coming to a decision
representativ heur: bad hand
availability heur: more available to our minds
a priori vs statistical
RULE 1: NEGATION. The probability that an event will not occur is 1
minus the probability that it will occur. Symbolically: Pr(not h) = 1- Pr(h)
RULE 2: CONJUNCTION WITH INDEPENDENCE. Given two independent events,
the probability of their both occurring is the product of their individual probabilities.
Symbolically (where h 1 and h 2 are independent): Pr(h 1 & h 2 ) = Pr(h 1 ) × Pr(h 2 )
RULE 2G: CONJUNCTION IN GENERAL (dependent): Given two events, the probability
of their both occurring is the probability of the first occurring times the
CONDITIONAL probability of the second occurring, given that the first has occurred.
RULE 3: DISJUNCTION WITH EXCLUSIVITY. The probability that at least one of two mutually
EXCLUSIVE events will occur is the sum of the probabilities that each of them will occur.
. Symbolically (where h 1 and h 2 are mutually exclusive):
Pr(h 1 or h 2 ) = Pr(h 1 ) + Pr(h 2 )
RULE 3G: DISJUNCTION IN GENERAL(including BOTH). The probability that AT LEAST one of two events will occur is the sum
of the probabilities that each of them will occur, minus the probability that they will both occur.
Symbolically: Pr(h 1 or h 2 ) = Pr(h1 ) + Pr(h2 ) – Pr(h1 &(x) h2 )
COMBINATION: not specified order: se aplica cada combinacion por separado y se suman (disjunction)
si pueden ocurrir los 2 repetidos, podria
dar 1, lo cual es imposible(100% certeza)
RULE 4: SERIES WITH INDEPENDENCE. The probability that an event will occur at least once in a series of
independent trials is 1 minus the probability that it will not occur in that number of trials.
Symbolically (where n is the number of independent
trials): Pr(h at least once in n trials) = 1 – Pr(NOT h) n
TAKEN FROM RULE 1&2
ONLY ONE EVENT ONCE in a serie
AT LEAST ONE + OPPOSITE CONJUNCTION = 1
INDEPENDENT: probability of one doesnt affects the other prob.
