Probability Class 11

 Probability


Sample space `(S)`: The set of all possible outcomes 

Sample points: Elements of sample space

Event `(E)`: A subset of the sample space `(E \subseteq S)`

Impossible event: The empty set ` (E = \phi)`

Sure event: The whole sample space ` (E = S)`

Complementary event or ‘not event’ : The set `A^{\prime} `or `(S  – A) `

Event `A` or `B`: The set `A ∪ B` 

Event  `A` and `B`: The set `A ∩ B` 

Event ` A` and not `B`: The set `A  – B`

Mutually exclusive event: `A` and `B`  are mutually exclusive if  `A ∩ B = \phi`

Exhaustive and mutually exclusive events: Events  `E_1 , E_2 ,..., E_n`   are mutually exclusive and exhaustive if  `E_1 ∪ E_2 ∪ ...∪ E_n = S`  and `E_i ∩ E_j = \phi \forall i \ne j`
