Chapter 5 An Introduction to Discrete Probability
Chapter 5An Introduction to Discrete Sample Space, Outcomes, Events, ProbabilityRoughly speaking, Probability theory deals with experiments whose outcome arenot predictable with certainty. We often call such are subject to chance. Using a mathematical theory of Probability , we may beable to calculate the likelihood of some the Introduction to his classical book [1] (first published in 1888), JosephBertrand (1822 1900) writes (translated from French to English): How dare we talk about the laws of chance (in French: le hasard)? Isn t chancethe antithesis of any law? In rejecting this definition, I will not propose anyalternative. On a vaguely defined subject, one can reason with authority.. Of course, Bertrand s words are supposed to provoke the reader. But it does seemparadoxical that anyone could claim to have a precise theory about chance! It is notmy intention to engage in a philosophical discussion about the nature of , I will try to explain how it is possible to build some mathematical tools thatcan be used to reason rigorously about phenomema that are subject to chance.
