Overview

Probability studies situations involving uncertainty. A random experiment has more than one possible outcome, but the exact result cannot be predicted in advance. The chapter builds the basic language of probability: experiment, outcome, event, elementary event, sure event, impossible event, and com

Key Concepts

An experiment with more than one

An experiment with more than one possible outcome whose result cannot be predicted in advance. Tossing a coin, throwing a die, planting seeds, drawing

A possible result of a random

A possible result of a random experiment. For a coin, the outcomes are Head and Tail; for a die, the outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

One or more outcomes of

One or more outcomes of an experiment constitute an event. For example, 'the die shows an even number' is an event because it includes 2, 4, and 6.

An event having only one outcome

An event having only one outcome of the experiment.

For equally likely outcomes

For equally likely outcomes, probability is found by dividing the number of favourable outcomes by the number of all possible outcomes. The formula is

  • Understand the meaning of a random experiment
  • Differentiate between outcomes and events
