Chapter 3: The basic concepts of probability
www.ams.sunysb.edu › ~linli › teachingThe classical definition of probability If there are m outcomes in a sample space, and all are equally likely of being the result of an experimental measurement, then the probability of observing an event that contains s outcomes is given by e.g. Probability of drawing an ace from a deck of 52 cards. sample space consists of 52 outcomes.

Definition of Probability Probability is the measure of how likely it is the some event will occur, a number expressing the ratio of favorable cases to the whole number or cases possible. For example the chance of a coin landing on heads is 50%.

Here is how you can quickly estimate the second probability during a card game: give the second ace to a player, the third to a difierent player (probability about 2=3) and then the last
