Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the theoretical concepts of probability. A certain numerical weight, called a probability, is associated with each element in the sample space. From the definition of probability, the probability of an events A is defined to be the sum of the probabilities of the elements in A. Thus, the probability of an event A is defined as some number between 0 and 1. In probability, the elements or points of the sample space of an experiment are the various possible results or outcomes of the experiment. In many applications of probability, there are events which are not independent, the hands containing exactly one ace also classify as hands containing at least one ace so that event B contains event A.
