INDE 2333 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Mutual Exclusivity, Sample Space
Document Summary
Experiment process of obtaining an observation or taking a measurement. Noise will always affect the system"s output. Simple event basic outcome of the experiment: cannot be decomposed into simpler outcomes. Sample space set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment. Compound event composition of two or more other events: formed with unions or intersections. Union the event that occurs if either event or both occurs in a single performance of the experiment. Intersection the event that occurs if both events occur on a single performance of the experiment. Mutually exclusive two events that do no share common outcomes: a b = , laws. Counting techniques special rules used to determine the number of outcomes in events: rules. Each rule has its special purpose and must be applied properly. If an operation consist of k steps and there are n1 ways of completing step 1, n2 ways of completing step 2, nk ways of completing step k.
