Sample Spaces and Probability (VCE SSCE Mathematical Methods): Flashcards

Complete set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment

$\varepsilon$ (epsilon)

A subset of the sample space

Capital letters: $A$, $B$, $C$, etc.

Has separate, distinct outcomes

Has outcomes forming a continuous range

No common elements; together make up entire sample space

$\text{Pr}(A') = 1 - \text{Pr}(A)$

$\text{Pr}(A) = \frac{n(A)}{n(\varepsilon)}$

Must equal 1
