Random Experiment :
Mathematically
Inclined
An experiment whose outcome cannot be predicted with
certainty is called a random experiment.
 JEE 2023: PROBABILITY

Mathematically Sample Space :

Inclined

The set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment is

called the sample space for that experiment.
 JEE 2023: PROBABILITY

Mathematically Event :

Mathematically Equally likely Events :-

Inclined

Two events are said to be equally likely when chance of

occurrence of one event is equal to chance of occurrence of other.
 JEE 2023: PROBABILITY

Mathematically Exhaustive Events : -

Inclined

Events are said to be exhaustive if nothing else can occur beyond

them. Union of exhaustive events is equal to sample space.
 JEE 2023: PROBABILITY
Mutually exclusive events :
Mathematically
Inclined

Two events are said to be mutually exclusive if they cannot occur

together. i.e. their intersection is null set.

CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY
Mathematically
Inclined
The probability of occurrence of event A given that event B
has already occurred is known as conditional probability.
It is denoted by P(A/B)

n(A∩B) P(A∩B)
P(A/B) = P(A/B) =
n(B) P(B)
