Experimental probability
Range of probability measure 0≤ P(x) ≤ 1
Probability space
Theoretical probability
Discrete and continuous probability (simple cases only)
Combined events (mutually exclusive and independent events)
If two or more simple events may occur or take place at the same time then the events are combined events.
For instance when the experiment of tossing two coins at the same time is done, then the event of interest can’t simply be determined.
Let E = {Obtaining two heads}
In this case there are two simple events which are obtaining the head on the first coin and obtaining the head on the second coin.
So E1 = {Obtaining the head on the first coin}
E2 = {Obtaining the head on the second coin}
