The concept of Probability was conceived in the 16th century by two mathematicians from France.They both have a part in creating the basics of Probability.The idea was created in the 18th century by another mathematician Laplace.Many events in the real world can not be predicted.An intelligent guess is made by defining the probability of the event happening.

It is beneficial for students to understand Probability as it will be used in their career in the future when they work for corporate or government agenciesIn those organizations the probability will be used to make business decisions.Instead of making decisions based on chance or experience it is always better to use a mathematical formula.Surprises and unpredictable outcomes can be found in the events that happen in the world.There could be more than one outcome that comes from an event.

In determining the most likely outcome the probability helps.The result of the process can be defined and called an experiment.A Deterministic Experiment is an experiment that can be predicted in advance.Random experiment is also called a non deterministic experiment.We know what the possible outcomes are of a random experiment.

Sample space is the collection of multiple outcomes that are possible in a random event.A countable number of sample points and uncountable number of sample points are the types of sample points in a sample space.The number of points cannot be divided into a subcategory.Either a finite number of sample points or an infinite number of sample points can be described as the countable number of sample points.We need to know about the following things before knowing the definition of probability.

S is the indication for sample space.A sample space has nothing to do with the possible outcome.When a coin is thrown the sample space is called head tail.There were two elements in the sample space.When two coins are thrown at the same time the sample space is HH HT TH and TT.

When 3 coins are thrown at the same time the sample space is HHH HHT HTH HTT TTH TTT and THH.There are 8 elements within the sample space.It's the same as one coin being tossed two times.We shouldn't get confused by those statements.When three coins are thrown it can also be called one coin tossed three times.

The sample space is 1 2 3 4 5 6 when there is a die.6 is how much sample space there is.The sample space is 11 12 13 14 15 16 21 22 23 24 25 26 31 32 33 34 35 36 41 42 43 44 45 46 51 52.There are 6 elements in this sample space.To find the number of sample spaces in coins the formula is 2n.

The sample space size is 4 with the n being 2.The sample space size is 8 if we put the n as 3 and it is 4 if we put it as 4.The number of spaces in dies can be found using a formula.The sample space size is 6 if we put n=3.The sample size is 36 if we put the n as 2.
