    Probability: Sample Space

    Uploaded by

    Ivan Kent Paga Parajes
    Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with calculating the likelihood of events. An event is one or more outcomes of an experiment. The sample space is the collection of all possible outcomes of an experiment. For example, when tossing a coin, the sample space would be {heads, tails} and the outcomes or events could be getting heads or tails. Probability is expressed as a number between 0 and 1, with 1 being a certainty and 0 being impossible.
