Statistics 213: mwf 9:00am-9:50am; lecture 01; professor- cindy sun. Subject 1- events and probability: january 11th, 2019. An experiment is a process (that can be repeated) that derives a certain set of results, i. e. the sample space. The sample space contains the most basic outcomes of an experiment known as sample points. The likelihood of these outcomes to occur is always between 0 and 1, this phenomenon is called probability. Example- consider a football match between the uofc dinos and ubc. Calculate (a) probability that the dinos win. (b) probabilty that the. Solution- n: number of total possible outcomes i. e. n=3. Sample point: dinos win, thunderbirds win, or it"s a draw. Sample space: {dinos win, thunderbirds win, it"s a draw} (a) p(a)= 1/3 (b) p(b)=1/3 (c) p(c)= 1/3. [a= likelihood of the dinos winning; b= likelihood of the dinos loosing; c= it"s a draw]
