What to Focus On

  • Experiment gives well defined outcomes.
  • Random experiment has more than one outcome and the exact one cannot be predicted in advance.
  • A trial is one performance of a random experiment.
  • One coin toss gives 2 outcomes.
  • Two coin tosses give 4 outcomes.
  • Three coin tosses give 8 outcomes.
  • P(E) = m/n.
  • m = favourable outcomes.
  • n = total outcomes.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A trial and an experiment are the same thing.

A random experiment means the outcomes are not known at all.

Two coins tossed together give only 3 outcomes.
