Probability
Is a branch of mathematics concerned
with analyzing the chance that a
particular event will occur. Its purpose
is to attempt to predict the likelihood
that something will or will not happen.
Experiment
Any activity which can be done
repeatedly under similar conditions
Sample Space (S)
The set of all possible outcomes in an
experiment
Event (E)
A subset of a sample space
Experiment and Sample Space

Probability of an Event
Is a ratio that compares the number
of favorable outcomes to the number
of possible outcomes.

Number of outcomes favoring the event
