Basic Concepts of Probability

  • The sample space of a random experiment is the collection of all possible outcomes.
  • An event associated with a random experiment is a subset of the sample space.
  • The probability of any outcome is a number between 0 and 1. The probabilities of all the outcomes add up to 1.
  • The probability of any event A is the sum of the probabilities of the outcomes in A.
