Calculate a Probability
Probabilities are an essential tool in mathematics for studying random events. They allow us to quantify the chance that an event will occur. In your final year of study, you will deepen your knowledge of probabilities by studying probability laws, random variables, and concepts of dependence and independence.
Basic Concepts
Before starting to calculate probabilities, it is important to understand a few basic concepts:
Definition
Random Experiment
A random experiment is an experiment whose result is not deterministic, meaning that we cannot predict with certainty what the result will be.
Event
An event is a possible outcome of a random experiment. It can consist of a single outcome (elementary event) or a set of outcomes (composite event).
