Probability inequalities

Probability theory is a tool that allows us to reason mathematically about uncertainty In this notes we will learn how to build probabilistic models to incorporate the information we

the probability that A and B both occur is known as the joint probability Independent events Two events are said to be independent if they don’t aﬀect each other, or more pre-cisely, if the occurrence of one doesn’t aﬀect the probability that the other occurs An example is the ﬁrst setup mentioned above – rolling two dice, with A

AP Statistics Review Probability

Probability Rules A sample space contains all the possible outcomes observed in a trial of an experiment, a survey, or some random phenomenon • The sum of the probabilities for all possible outcomes in a sample space is 1 • The probability of an outcome is a number between 0 and 1 inclusive An outcome that always happens has probability 1

PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS

Probability and Statistics Probability Line Probability is the chance that something will happen It can be shown on a line The probability of an event occurring is somewhere between impossible and certain As well as words we can use numbers (such as fractions or decimals) to show the probability of something happening: Impossible is zero

Probability: Theory and Examples Rick Durrett Version 5

1 1 Probability Spaces Here and throughout the book, terms being deﬁned are set in boldface We begin with the most basic quantity A probability space is a triple (Ω,F,P) where Ω is a set of “outcomes,” F is a set of “events,” and P : F → [0,1] is a function that assigns probabilities to events We

Advanced Probability - University of Pennsylvania

1 1 Basic objects: probability measures, ˙-algebras, and random variables We begin by recalling some fundamental concepts in probability, and setting down notation Central to everything we do is the notion of a probability space: a triple (;F;P), where is a set, Fis a ˙-algebra, and P is a probability measure In the probability context, the
