If the probability of a particular event occurring (for example getting a Heads rolling a 5 or picking a blue ball) is p then the event will occur in a fractionpof the trials on average Some examples are: ‹ The probability of getting a Heads on a coin ?ip is 1/2 (or equivalently 50 )
The syllabus is as follows: 1 Basic notions of probability Sample spaces events relative frequency probability axioms 2 Finite sample spaces Methods of enumeration Combinatorial probability 3 Conditional probability Theorem of total probability Bayes theorem 4 Independence of two events Mutual independence of n events

Example 1 1 If our experiment is to roll one die then there are six outcomes corresponding to the number that shows on the top The set of all outcomes in this case is f1;2;3;4;5;6g It is called the sample space and is usually denoted by (capital Omega)
Axioms of Probability • Probability law (measure or function) is an assignment of probabilities to events (subsets of sample space ?) such that the following three axioms are satis?ed: 1 P(A) ? 0 for all A(nonnegativity) 2 P(?) = 1 (normalization) 3 If Aand B are disjoint (A?B= ?) then P(A?B) = P(A)+ P(B) (additivity) More
Probability 1 Outcomes Events and Probability De nitions A sample space is a set of the outcomes of an experiment An event is a subset of the sample space Two events A and B are disjoint if they have no elements (outcomes) in common Axioms Nonnegativity: P(A) 0 for all events A Normalization: P() = 1 Disjoint Unions: for all disjoint events
