Understanding
Probability
Probability is a field of mathematics that
deals with chance.
An experiment is an activity in which the
results cannot be predicted with certainty.
Each repetition of an experiment is called a
trial.
An outcome is a result of an experiment.
An event is any collection of outcomes ,
and a simple event is an event with only
one possible outcomes.
The sample space for a given experiment is
a set S that contains all possible outcomes
of the experiments for which the sample
The sample space for
the experiment in
throwing a die=
Sample space
{1,2,3,4,5,6}
Probability of an event

n(event) = number of outcomes of


the event
N(Sample space) = number of all possible
outcomes
Example 1: A coin is tossed, Find :

a) The sample
space
{ head,
tail}
N(sample space) =
2
b) The probability of getting a
tail.
Example 2: What would be the probability
of
a) Picking a red card at random from a
standard deck of 52 cards?
Example 2.1: What would be the
probability
a) Picking aofface card (i.e. a king, queen or
jack)?
Example 2.2: What would be the
probability of a face card?
a) not picking
Example 3: What is the probability of rolling on

fair die:
A 5?
Example 3.1: What is the probability of rolling
on
a) aAn

Example 3.2: What is the probability of rolling

a) aAfair die: less than 3?
number
Example 3.4: What is the probability of rolling
