Sample Space, Events and Probability

Since events are simply subsets of the sample space, we can talk about various set theoretic operations on events. In the following, E, F, G, E i, = 1;2;::: are events. E [F denotes the union of E and F. E \F denotes the intersection of E and F. Ec stands for the complement of E, that is E = S nE. E ˆF means that E is a subset of F. If E \F = ;,
