Spaced Revision

Come back to Probability after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Random experiment gives outcomes under given conditions.
  • Sample space is the set of all possible outcomes.
  • Every event is a subset of the sample space.
  • Repeated trials use multiplication to count outcomes.
  • For 3 coin tosses, n(S) = 8.
  • For 2 dice, n(S) = 36.
  • A pack of cards has 52 cards.
  • There are 26 red cards and 26 black cards.
  • A pack has 4 suits.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any outcome that looks reasonable can be used as an event, even if it is not part of the sample space.

Simple event means any small or easy-looking event.

Probability can be found without checking whether all outcomes are equally likely.

Memory Tips

Experiment

Sample space

Event as a subset of sample space

Simple event or elementary event
