STA 2014C Chapter Notes - Chapter 3: Combinatorial Principles, Face Card, Sample Space
Document Summary
Probability experiment- an action where counts, measurements, or responses are recorded. Sample space- the collection of all possible outcomes. Event- a subset of the sample space - one or more outcomes. Classical probability- used when each outcome is equally likely. P(event)= #of outcomes in the event / # of outcomes in sample space. Ex) using a standard deck of 52 cards, fund the probability of drawing. A number less than 7 but greater than or equal to 2. The probability of any event is between 0 and 1. Written e" or ec where e is the event. Is one event can occur in m ways and a second event can occur in n ways, then the number of ways the two events can occur in sequence is m*n. This rule can be extended to and # if events occurring in sequence.
