7.2 Event

*Elements of a sample space which satisfy given conditions.
*Listing element of a sample space using set notations.
*Possible events for a sample space

  • An event is of outcomes which satisfies a certain condition.
  • Event A is a possible event for sample space,S,if A is a possible event for sample space ,S,if A is asubset of  S and A is not an empty set.
  • Event A is not a possible event for sample space, S ,if A is not a subset of S and A is an empty set.   



7.3 Probability of an event

*Probability of an event from a big enough number of trials

1. The probability of a event is the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the number of trials.
  
  Probability of an event A,

     P(A) = Number of times event A occurs
                        Number of trials

2. If event A never occurs,then
      
        P(A) =      0
                 Number of trials
               = 0

3. If event A occurs in every  trials,then

      P(A) =  Number of trials
                 Number of trials
             = 1

*Expected number of times an event will occur

When the probability of an event and the number of trials are given,we can calculate the expected number of
times the event will occur.

P(A) = Expected number of times event A will occur
                           Number of trials

Hence,
      Expected number of times event A will occur
              = P(A) X Number of trials

*Predicting the occurrence of an outcome 

We can predict the number of times an event
will occur given a number of trials if we know
the probability of that event.

8.1 :  Tangents to a Circle
Identifying tangents to a circle

  • A tangent to a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at exactly one point.The is called the contact point.
  • A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius that passes through the contact point.
                
* Constructing tangents to a circle

We can construct tangent to a circle passing through a point

  •  on the circumference of the circle
  •  outside the circle

*Identifying the angle in an alternate segment which is subtended by the chord through the contact   pointof  the tangent
                   


  • In the diagram above,PAQ is a tangent to the circle at the contact point A.
  • ACB is known as the angle in the alternate segment subtended by chord AB.  PAB is the angle formed by the tangent PA and chord AB.
  • ABC is known as the angle in the alternate segment subtended by chord AC.  QAC is the angle formed by the tangent QA and chord AC.

*Relationship between the angle formed by the tangent and the chord with the angle in the alternate segment which is subtended by the chord
                

The angle between a tangent and chord that passes through the contact point of the tangent is equal to the angle in the alternate segment
subtended by the chord.
