Document Summary
I which measures how likely an event is to occur. Sample space : (5) collection of all the possible outcomes that can occur in an experiment . If all the outcomes are equally likely . then for an event (e) number. Outcomes (e) = total of number of outcomes. Example 1: a cube is red on three sides, white on one side and blue on two sides. The cube is rolled and the colour on top observed. List the sample space s and the probabilities of each outcome. Interpretation computer simulations depict the relative frequency of probability by re - doing the experiment multiple times to calculate the accurate probability . What we find is that in the long run the relative frequency converges with the theoretical probability . Example 2: a woman who is a carrier of hemophilia plans to have three children.
