The measure of uncertainty of an event is called Theory of Probability. A coin toss, a die throw, or choosing an item at random are common ex

Key Concepts

An outcome is a well

An outcome is a well-defined result of an experiment. For a single coin toss, head and tail are outcomes. For a die throw, the outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4

An event is the collection

An event is the collection of some favourable outcomes. For example, getting an odd number on a die throw is an event with outcomes 1, 3, and 5.

An experiment is an operation

An experiment is an operation which can produce some well-defined outcomes. Tossing a coin, throwing a die, or choosing a student at random are exampl

Empirical probability is calculated from actual

Empirical probability is calculated from actual trials. The formula is P(E) = Number of trials in which the event happened / Total number of trials. T

Two events are complementary if exactly

Two events are complementary if exactly one of them occurs. For an event E, the complementary event is E'. E' is the event when E does not occur. The

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the meaning of probability and uncertainty
