correlation, Curve fitting by the method of least squares-fitting of straight lines.
Some Basic Definitions
Trials & Events : If an experiment is repeated under essentially the same conditions and it result in
any one of the several possible outcomes, then the experiment is called a trial and the possible
outcomes are known as events. Eg : Tossing of a coin is trial and turning up of head/tail is and event.

Exhaustive Events: The outcomes of a random experiment is called exhaustive events if it covers all
the possible outcomes of the experiment. Eg : In rolling of a die, the outcomes 1,2,3,4,5,6 are
exhaustive events.

Favourable Events: The events which entail the required happening are called favourable events. Eg
: In throwing of two dice the number of favourable cases of getting sum 7 is 6 viz. (1,6), (6,1), (2,5),
(5,2), (3,4), (4,3).

Mutually Exclusive Events: Two or more events are said to be mutually exclusive if occurrence of
one of them excludes the occurrence of the other. Eg : While tossing a coin we either get a head or a
tail but not both.
Independent Events: Two or more events are said to be independent events if happening or
non-happening of one doesn’t depend on the happening or non-happening of the other. Eg : Two coins
tossed at the same time, the outcome of one is independent of the outcome of the other.

Equally likely events: Two events are said to be equally likely if there is no reason to expect anyone
with preference to other. Eg : Head and tail are equally likely to come.

Sample Space: The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment is called sample space. It is
denotes by S.
Classical Definition of Probability

Let S be the sample space and E be an event. Then probability of occurrence or


happening of E is denoted by P(E) and is defined as
Axioms of Probability

Let S be the sample space and E be an event. Then

● 0≤P(E)≤1
● P(S)=1
● If E1 ,E2,...,En be n mutually exclusive events then

P(E1 ∪E2∪...∪En)=P(E1)+P(E2)+....+P(En)
