Page 1: Fundamental Concepts of Probability
This page introduces the basic concepts of probability theory and event operations. The content focuses on defining key terms and explaining basic operations with events.
Definition: Sample space E is the set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment.
Vocabulary: Elementary event consists of a single outcome, while compound events contain multiple outcomes.
Example: In rolling a die, the sample space E = {1,2,3,4,5,6}
Highlight: Three fundamental operations with events are introduced: union, intersection, and complementation.
The page elaborates on special types of events including null events impossibleevents, certain events containingallelementsofthesamplespace, and incompatible events withemptyintersection.
