Basic Concepts and Terminology

  • Random Experiment: An experiment whose outcome cannot be predicted in advance, though all possible outcomes are known
  • Outcome: A possible result of a random experiment
  • Event: A collection of one or more outcomes
2

Single Coin and Dice Problems

  • Coin toss has 2 equally likely outcomes: Head (H) and Tail (T)
  • Each outcome has probability 1/2 = 0.5 = 50%
  • Dice roll has 6 equally likely outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
3

Multiple Coin and Dice Problems

  • Two coins: 4 possible outcomes - HH, HT, TH, TT
  • Three coins: 8 possible outcomes - HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT
  • Two dice: 36 possible outcomes (6×6)
4

Worked Examples and Problem-Solving Strategies

  • Step 1: Identify the type of experiment and total possible outcomes
  • Step 2: Clearly define the event and count favorable outcomes
  • Step 3: Apply probability formula P(E) = favorable/total
