Study Notes
Random Experiments and Events
- In a random experiment, the set of all possible outcomes is called the sample space.
Throwing a Fair Die
- The sample space of throwing a fair die is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
Events
- In the context of random experiments, events are subsets of the sample space.
Sample Space Example
- The sample space {RR, RC, RS, CR, CC, CS, SR, SC, SS} represents the outcomes of tossing two coins, where R is heads and S is tails.
Event Example
- When playing a board game, the event A is rolling 4 or above to win.
Empty Event
- The empty set, denoted by ∅, represents an empty event.
Partition of Subsets
- A partition of subsets D1,..., Ds of Ω entails that every outcome in Ω belongs to exactly one of the subsets Di.
Classical Definition of Probability
- The classical definition of probability applies when all outcomes in the sample space are equally likely.
Probability of Sample Space
- Under the classical definition, P(Ω) represents 1, or certainty.
Probability of Disjoint Events
- Under the classical definition, if events A and B are disjoint, P(A ∪ B) is the sum of P(A) and P(B).
