Questions and Answers

Which of the following best describes the concept of events in probability theory?

The intersection of all possible outcomes

The entire sample space of a random experiment

The probability of an outcome occurring

Subsets of the sample space corresponding to specific outcomes or groups of outcomes (correct)

What is the sample space for rolling a fair six-sided die?

{1, 2, 3, 4}

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

{1, 2, 3}

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} (correct)

What does the Additivity Axiom state in probability theory?

$P(A∩B) = P(A) + P(B)$ for mutually exclusive events A and B

$P(A∪B) = P(A) * P(B)$ for any events A and B

$P(A∩B) = P(A) * P(B)$ for any events A and B

$P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B)$ for mutually exclusive events A and B (correct)

Study Notes

Probability Theory Basics

In probability theory, an event is a set of outcomes of an experiment.

Sample Space

The sample space for rolling a fair six-sided die is the set of all possible outcomes: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

Additivity Axiom

The Additivity Axiom states that for any countable sequence of disjoint events, the probability of the union of the events is equal to the sum of their individual probabilities.

Non-Negative Probability

In probability theory, a probability is non-negative if its value is greater than or equal to 0, i.e., 0 ≤ P(event) ≤ 1.

Probability of Union

If event A and event B are not mutually exclusive, the formula for the probability of their union is: P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B).
