Document Summary
Definition: an experiment is the process by which an observation/measurement is obtained. Definition: a simple event is the outcome observed on a single repetition of an experiment. A simple event is often denoted e with a subscript. Exercise 1: list all the simple events resulting from. Definition: an event is a collection of simple events. Definition: the set of all possible simple events that can occur from an experiment is called the sample space and is denoted by s. Venn diagrams: venn diagrams are a tool that helps us visualize different events in relation to the sample space and each other. Definition: two events are mutually exclusive if the cannot occur simultaneously. That is, if one occurs, the other cannot and vice versa. State the sample space for each of the following experiments: Count the number of defective parts in a shipment of 100 parts.
