4: Probabilities: Basics

4.2: Introduction to probability

The below properties follow from the axioms we have just discussed in the above
presentation.
4.3: Conditional probability

4.4: Total probability and Bayes' theorem

Let's start by looking at total probability.
In the following presentation, Martin will discuss total probability and
introduce Bayes' theorem.
Example:

4.5: Independence
4.6: Random variables
A random variable, often denoted by X is a numerical quantity whose value is determined by the
outcome of an experiment. Here are two examples of random variables.
Consider the experiment of throwing a fair die. Let X be the random variable which assigns 1 if
the number that appears is even and 0 if it is odd.

What is the range of X?

The range of X is {0, 1}.
