Probability Theory and Statistics
ity theory as the foundation for doing statistics. The probability theory will provide a framework, where it becomes possible to clearly formulate our statistical questions and to clearly express the assumptions upon which the answers rest.

By the so-called law of large numbers, the proportion of survivors L70=L55 tends to the individual survival probability 0:75 as the number of participants L55 tends to in nity. Therefore, as the

While it is possible to place probability theory on a secure mathematical axiomatic basis, we shall rely on the commonplace notion of probability.

Sample Space, Events and Probability
faculty.math.illinois.eduProbability theory is concerned with such random phenomena or random experiments. Consider a random experiment. The set of all the possible outcomes is called the sample space of the experiment and is usually denoted by S. Any subset E of the sample space S is called an event. Here are some examples.
