Basic concepts:
- We assign probabilities to outcomes of experiments.
- A possible outcome e is called an elemental event.
- The set S of all elemental events is called the sample
space.
- The elemental events are mutually exclusive and
exhaustive, that is, they partition the sample space.
- A set A of elemental events is an event.
Concrete example: coin flip.
