What is a reliable random impossible event. Lesson topic: “Random, reliable and impossible events


An event is a test result. What is an event? One ball is taken at random from the urn. Removing the ball from the urn is a test. The appearance of a ball of a certain color is an event. In the theory of probability, an event is understood as something about which, after a certain moment in time, one and only one of the two can be said. Yes, it happened. No, it didn't happen. The possible outcome of an experiment is called an elementary event, and many such outcomes are simply called an event.


Unpredictable events are called random events. An event is called random if, under the same conditions, it can either happen or not. When the die is rolled, a six will be dropped. I have a lottery ticket. After the results of the lottery draw are published, the event of interest to me - winning a thousand rubles, either happens or does not happen. Example.


Two events that can occur simultaneously under these conditions are called joint, and those that cannot occur simultaneously are called incompatible. A coin is thrown. The appearance of the "coat of arms" excludes the appearance of the inscription. The events “a coat of arms appeared” and “an inscription appeared” are incompatible. Example.


An event that always happens is called reliable. An event that cannot happen is called impossible. For example, let a ball be taken out of an urn containing only black balls. Then the appearance of the black ball is a certain event; the appearance of a white ball is an impossible event. Examples. Snow won't fall next year. When the die is rolled, a seven will be dropped. These are impossible events. Snow will fall next year. On rolling the die, a number less than seven will be dropped. Sunrise every day. These are reliable events.


Problem solving For each of the described events, determine what it is: impossible, reliable or random. 1. Out of 25 students in the class, two celebrate their birthday a) January 30; b) February 30. 2. The literature textbook opens at random and the second word is found on the left page. This word begins: a) with the letter "K"; b) with the letter "b".


3. Today in Sochi the barometer shows normal atmosphere pressure... In this case: a) the water in the pan boiled at a temperature of 80º С; b) when the temperature dropped to -5 ° C, the water in the puddle froze. 4. Throw two dice: a) the first dice has 3 points, and the second - 5 points; b) the sum of points dropped on two dice is equal to 1; c) the sum of the points dropped on two dice is 13; d) 3 points were scored on both bones; e) the sum of points on two dice is less than 15. Solving problems


5. You have opened a book on any page and read the first noun that comes across. It turned out that: a) there is a vowel in the spelling of the selected word; b) the spelling of the selected word contains the letter "O"; c) there are no vowels in the spelling of the selected word; d) in the spelling of the selected word there is soft sign...

Reliable, impossible and random events.

First lesson

Lesson equipment: dice, coin, backgammon.

Our life is largely made up of accidents. There is such a science "Theory of Probabilities". Using her language, you can describe many phenomena and situations.

Even the primitive leader understood that a dozen hunters have a "probability" of hitting a bison with a spear more than one. Therefore, then they hunted collectively.

Such ancient generals as Alexander the Great or Dmitry Donskoy, preparing for battle, relied not only on the valor and skill of warriors, but also on chance.

Many people love mathematics for the eternal truths twice two are always four, the sum of even numbers is even, the area of \u200b\u200ba rectangle is equal to the product of its adjacent sides, etc. In any problem that you solve, everyone gets the same answer - you just need not make mistakes in the solution.

Real life is not so simple and straightforward. The outcomes of many phenomena cannot be predicted in advance. It is impossible, for example, to say for sure which side the coin tossed up will fall on, when the first snow falls next year, or how many people in the city will want to call in the next hour. Such unpredictable phenomena are called random .

However, the case also has its own laws, which begin to manifest themselves with repeated repetition of random phenomena. If you flip a coin 1000 times, then the "heads" will fall out about half the time, which cannot be said about two or even ten tosses. "Approximately" does not mean half. This, as a rule, may or may not be so. The law does not state anything for certain at all, but gives a certain degree of certainty that some random event will occur. Such patterns are studied by a special section of mathematics - Probability theory . With its help, it is possible with a greater degree of confidence (but still not certain) to predict both the date of the first snowfall and the number of phone calls.

Probability theory is inextricably linked to our daily life. This gives us a wonderful opportunity to establish many probabilistic laws empirically, repeating random experiments many times. The materials for these experiments will most often be an ordinary coin, a dice, a set of dominoes, backgammon, roulette, or even a deck of cards. Each of these items is somehow related to games. The fact is that the case appears here in the most frequent form. And the first probabilistic problems were associated with assessing the chances of players to win.

Modern probability theory has moved away from gambling, but its props are still the simplest and most reliable source of chance. By practicing with a tape measure and a dice, you will learn how to calculate the probability random events in real life situations, which will allow you to assess your chances of success, test hypotheses, make optimal decisions, not only in games and lotteries.

When solving probabilistic problems, be very careful, try to justify every step you take, for no other area of \u200b\u200bmathematics contains so many paradoxes. Like probability theory. And perhaps the main explanation for this is her connection with the real world in which we live.

Many games use a dice with a different number of dots from 1 to 6 on each face. The player rolls the dice, looks at how many dots have dropped out (on the face that is on top), and makes the corresponding number of moves: 1,2,3 , 4,5, or 6. Throwing a die can be considered an experience, experiment, test, and the result obtained is an event. People are usually very interested in guessing the onset of this or that event, predicting its outcome. What predictions can they make when they roll the dice? First prediction: one of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 will be dropped, or 6. Do you think the predicted event will come or not? Of course, it will definitely come. An event that will necessarily occur in this experience is called a reliable event.

Second prediction : number 7 will drop out. Do you think the predicted event will come or not? Of course it won't, it's just impossible. An event that cannot occur in a given experience is called impossible event.

Third prediction : number 1 will drop out. What do you think, the predicted event will come or not? We are not in a position to answer this question with full confidence, since the predicted event may or may not occur. An event that in a given experience may or may not occur is called a random event.

The task : Describe the events that are discussed in the tasks below. How reliable, impossible, or accidental.

    We flip a coin. The coat of arms appeared. (random)

    The hunter shot at the wolf and hit. (random)

    The schoolboy goes for a walk every evening. While walking on Monday, he met three acquaintances. (random)

    Let's mentally conduct the following experiment: turn the glass of water upside down. If this experiment is carried out not in space, but at home or in the classroom, then the water will pour out. (reliable)

    Three shots were fired at the target. " There were five hits "(impossible)

c) a number is conceived that is neither even nor odd; (impossible)

d) a number that is even or odd is conceived. (reliable)

961. Petya and Tolya compare their birthdays. The event is as follows:

a) their birthdays do not match; (random) b) their birthdays are the same; (random)

d) the birthdays of both fall on holidays - New Year (January 1) and Russia's Independence Day (June 12). (random)

962. When playing backgammon, two dice are used. The number of moves that the participant makes is determined by adding the numbers on the two sides of the die, and if a "double" falls out (1 + 1.2 + 2.3 + 3.4 + 4.5 + 5.6 + 6), then the number of moves is doubled. You roll the dice and calculate how many moves you have to make. The event is as follows:

a) you must make one move; b) you must make 7 moves;

c) you must make 24 moves; d) you must make 13 moves.

a) - impossible (1 move can be made if the combination 1 + 0 falls out, but there is no number 0 on the dice).

b) - random (if 1 + 6 or 2 + 5 is rolled).

c) - random (if a combination of 6 +6 falls).

d) - the impossible (there are no combinations of numbers from 1 to 6, the sum of which is 13; this number cannot be obtained even when the "double" appears, since it is odd).

Combinatorial problems.

First lesson

    Homework check. (orally)

a) we check the tasks that the students came up with.

b) an additional task.

    I am reading an excerpt from V. Levshin's book "Three Days in Dwarf".

“At first, to the sounds of a smooth waltz, the numbers formed a group: 1+ 3 + 4 + 2 \u003d 10. Then the young skaters began to swap places, forming more and more new groups: 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 \u003d 10

3 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 10

4 + 1 + 3 + 2 = 10

1 + 4 + 2 + 3 \u003d 10, etc.

This continued until the skaters returned to their original position. "

How many times have they changed places?

Today in the lesson we will learn how to solve such problems. They're called combinatorial.

3. Learning new material.

Objective 1. How many two-digit numbers can be made from the digits 1, 2, 3?

Decision: 11, 12, 13

31, 32, 33. There are 9 numbers in total.

When solving this problem, we carried out an enumeration of all possible options, or, as they usually say in these cases. All possible combinations. Therefore, such tasks are called combinatorial. You have to calculate possible (or impossible) options in life quite often, so it is useful to get acquainted with combinatorial problems.

967. Several countries decided to use symbols for their national flag in the form of three horizontal stripes of the same width in different colors - white, blue, red. How many countries can use such symbols, provided that each country has its own flag?

Decision. Let's assume the first stripe is white. Then the second stripe can be blue or red, and the third stripe, respectively, red or blue. It turned out two options: white, blue, red or white, red, blue.

Now let the first stripe be blue, then again we get two options: white, red, blue or blue, red, white.

Let the first stripe be red, then there are two more options: red, white, blue or red, blue, white.

There are 6 possible options in total. This flag can be used by 6 countries.

So, in solving this problem, we were looking for a way to enumerate possible options. In many cases, it is useful to construct a picture - an enumeration scheme. This is, firstly, clearly, secondly, allows us to take everything into account, not to miss anything.

This scheme is also called the tree of possible options.

968. How many two-digit numbers can be made from the digits 1, 2, 4, 6, 8?

Decision. For the two-digit numbers of interest to us, any of the given digits, except 0. If we put the number 2 in the first place, then any of the given digits can be in the second place. There will be five two-digit numbers: 2., 22, 24, 26, 28. Similarly, there will be five two-digit numbers with the first digit 4, five two-digit numbers with the first digit 6, and five two-digit numbers with the first digit 8.

Answer: there are 20 numbers in total.

Let's build a tree of possible options for solving this problem.

Problem numbers are taken from the tutorial

"Mathematics-5", I.I. Zubareva, A.G. Mordkovich, 2004.

The events (phenomena) we observe can be divided into the following three types: reliable, impossible and random.

Credible is called an event that will necessarily occur if a certain set of conditions S is implemented. For example, if a vessel contains water at normal atmospheric pressure and a temperature of 20 °, then the event “the water in the vessel is in liquid state»Is reliable. In this example, the set atmospheric pressure and water temperature are the set of conditions S.

Impossible is called an event that will not happen if the set of conditions S is fulfilled. For example, the event “water in the vessel is in a solid state” will certainly not happen if the set of conditions of the previous example is fulfilled.

Random is an event that, when a set of conditions S is implemented, can either happen or not. For example, if a coin is thrown, then it can fall so that there will be either a coat of arms or an inscription on top. Therefore, the event “when the coin was thrown, the“ coat of arms ”fell out - random. Each random event, in particular the fall of the "coat of arms", is a consequence of the action of very many random causes (in our example: the force with which the coin is thrown, the shape of the coin and many others). It is impossible to take into account the influence on the result of all these reasons, since their number is very large and the laws of their action are unknown. Therefore, probability theory does not set itself the task of predicting whether a single event will occur or not - it simply cannot do it.

The situation is different if random events are considered that can be observed many times under the same conditions S, i.e., if we are talking about mass homogeneous random events. It turns out that a sufficiently large number of homogeneous random events, regardless of their specific nature, obeys certain laws, namely, probabilistic laws. The establishment of these regularities and deals with the theory of probability.

Thus, the subject of probability theory is the study of the probabilistic laws of mass homogeneous random events.

Probability theory methods are widely used in various branches of natural science and technology. Probability theory also serves to substantiate mathematical and applied statistics.

Types of random events... Events are called inconsistentif the occurrence of one of them excludes the occurrence of other events in the same trial.

Example. A coin is thrown. The appearance of the "coat of arms" excludes the appearance of the inscription. The events “a coat of arms appeared” and “an inscription appeared” are incompatible.

Several events form full groupif at least one of them appears as a result of the test. In particular, if the events that form a complete group are pairwise inconsistent, then as a result of the test one and only one of these events will appear. This particular case is of the greatest interest to us, since it is used below.

Example 2. Two cash lottery tickets are purchased. One and only one of the following events will surely happen: “the prize fell on the first ticket and did not fall on the second one”, “the prize did not fall on the first ticket and fell on the second one”, “the prize fell on both tickets”, “on both tickets the prize did not dropped out. " These events form a complete group of pairwise incompatible events.

Example 3. The shooter fired a shot at the target. One of the following two events will surely happen: hit, miss. These two incompatible events form a complete group.

Events are called equally possibleif there is reason to believe that none of them is more possible than the other.

Example 4. The appearance of the "coat of arms" and the appearance of an inscription when a coin is tossed are equally possible events.
