Topics in Probability
1
Random Experiments and Sample Space
- Random experiment: An experiment where all possible outcomes are known but the specific result cannot be predicted
- Outcome: A possible result of a random experiment
- Sample space (S): Set of all possible outcomes
2
Types of Events
- Simple event: Contains exactly one sample point
- Compound event: Contains more than one sample point
- Impossible event: Empty set (φ), probability = 0
3
Axiomatic Definition of Probability
- Axiom 1: 0 ≤ P(E) ≤ 1 for any event E
- Axiom 2: P(S) = 1 (probability of sure event)
- Axiom 3: For mutually exclusive events, P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B)
4
Addition Theorem and Union of Events
- General addition rule: P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)
- For mutually exclusive events: P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B)
- For three events: P(A ∪ B ∪ C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(A ∩ B) - P(B ∩ C) - P(C ∩ A) + P(A ∩ B ∩ C)
