Mathematically, Ω is just a set, with elements ω. It is called the sample space. •An event is the answer to a Yes/No question. Equivalently, an event

Trials refers to an event whose outcome is un-known. Sample Space (S)? Set of all possible elementary outcomes of a trial.? If the trial consists of ipping a coin twice, the
PROBABILITY & STATISTICS
archive.mu.ac.inBasic Probability The probability of a sample point is a measure of the likelihood that the sample point will occur. Probability of a Sample Point By convention, statisticians have agreed on the following rules. The probability of any sample point can range from 0 to 1. The sum of probabilities of all sample points in a sample space is equal to 1.
