Document Summary
Experiment the process of observation that leads to a single outcome that cannot be predicted with certainty. Sample point basic outcome of an experiment. Sample space collection of all sample points of an experiment. The probability of a sample point is a # between 0 and 1 which measures the likelihood that the outcome will occur. One sample point, for example, is ( observe a head and observe a tail ) The probability of a sample point could be taken to be the relative frequency of the occurrence of the sample point in many repetitions of the experiment. (theoretical) Of course, this may not be possible in progress. Subjective probabilities might be assigned based on general information of expert analysis of the experiment (e. g. weather). Let pi represent the probability of sample point i. All sample point probabilities must lie between 0 and 1, 0 pi 1.
