Topics in Probability

1

Random Experiments and Sample Space

  • A random experiment has multiple possible outcomes that cannot be predicted in advance
  • Sample space (S) is the set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment
  • An outcome is a single result of a random experiment
2

Events and Types of Events

  • An event is a subset of the sample space
  • Empty set (∅) represents impossible event with probability 0
  • Sample space (S) represents sure event with probability 1
3

Conditional Probability

  • Conditional probability measures likelihood of an event given another event has occurred
  • Written as P(A|B) - 'probability of A given B'
  • The condition reduces the sample space to only outcomes where B occurs
4

Theorem of Total Probability

  • Expresses total probability of an outcome that can occur through several distinct paths
  • Requires a partition of sample space - mutually exclusive and exhaustive events
  • Each path contributes to total probability based on its own probability and conditional probability
