Probability

1. Experiment: An Operation which can produce some well defined outcomes


is called an experiment.
2. Random Experiment: An experiment in which all possible outcomes are
known and the exact output cannot be predicted in advance is called
random experiment.
a. Rolling an unbiased dice
b. Tossing a fair coin
c. Drawing a card from a pack of well shuffled cards
d. Picking up a ball of certain color from a bag containing balls of
different colors.
3. Sample Space: When we perform an experiment then the set of S of all
possible outcome is called Sample Space.
4. Event: Any subset of sample space is called Event
n(E)
5. Probability of Occurrence of an Event P(E)=
n(S)
6. P(S)= 1, P(E) will always be Greater than equal to 0 to 1.
7. P ( A ∪ B )=P ( A ) + P ( B ) −P( A ∩ B)
