Topics in Introduction To Probability

1

Random Experiments and Outcomes

  • A random experiment has multiple possible outcomes and the result cannot be predicted beforehand
  • Examples include tossing a coin (H, T), throwing a die (1,2,3,4,5,6), drawing cards from a deck
  • Each repetition of the experiment may yield different outcomes
2

Events and Probability Definition

  • An event is one or more outcomes of a random experiment
  • Elementary events have only one outcome
  • Probability measures the likelihood of an event occurring
3

Properties of Probability

  • Probability values always lie between 0 and 1 (inclusive)
  • Impossible events have probability 0
  • Certain/sure events have probability 1
4

Solved Problems and Applications

  • Coin problems: Sample space = {H, T}, P(H) = P(T) = 1/2
  • Die problems: Sample space = {1,2,3,4,5,6}, each outcome has probability 1/6
  • Card problems: 52 cards total, 26 red, 26 black, 12 face cards
