2.1 Experiment / Trial

An experiment or trial involves a process with uncertain outcomes, which forms the basis for understanding probability.

2.2 Outcome

This section discusses outcomes in probability, explaining their significance and relation to events and sample spaces.

2.3 Sample Space (S)

The sample space represents the complete set of all possible outcomes for a given experiment, forming the foundation of probability theory.

2.4 Event

This section introduces the concept of events in probability, explaining their relationship to the sample space and how they can be analyzed in terms of likelihood.

2.5 Probability (P)

This section introduces the fundamental concepts of probability, its types, rules, and applications, highlighting its importance in quantifying uncertainty.

3.1 Classical (Theoretical) Probability

Classical probability deals with the likelihoods of events occurring in situations with equally likely outcomes.

3.2 Empirical (Experimental) Probability

Empirical probability is determined through observation and experimentation rather than theoretical calculations.

3.3 Subjective Probability

Subjective probability is based on personal judgment and experience rather than strict calculation.
