vary even conditions are similar.
Examples:
a. tossing a coin
b. rolling a die

Sample Space is the set of all
possible outcomes in an
experiment.
Examples:
a. S= { H, T}
b. S={ 1,2,3,4,5,6}

Event is any subset of a sample
space.
Examples:
a. getting a head when tossing a
coin E={H}
b. getting an even number when
rolling a die E={2,4,6}

Probability is a measure or
estimation of how likely it is an
event will occur.
Activities such as tossing of
flipping a coin or picking a card
from a standard deck of cards
without looking which could be
repeated over and over again
and which have well-defined
results are called experiments.
The results are called
outcomes.
The set of all possible
outcomes of an experiment is
the sample space or
probability space, and each
individual outcome is a
sample point.

Probabilty of Events
The probability of an event, P (event), is the
number from 0 to 1 which tells how likely
the event is to happen.
Probability Rules
1. The probability of any event is a number
(either a fraction, a decimal, or a percent)
from 0 to 1.
2. If an event will never happen, then its
probability is 0.
3. If an event is sure to happen, then the
probability is 1.
4. The sum of probabilities of all outcomes
in the sample space is 1.
