Sample Space and Events There are lots of phenomena in nature, like tossing a coin or tossing a die, whose outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty in advance, but the set of all the possible outcomes is known. These are what we call random phenomena or random experiments. Probability theory is c ...

Axiomatic Probability
... Since P(S) = 1 (Axiom 1), and the event {H} and {T} are mutually disjoint, by Axiom 3, we have P({H}) + P({T }) = P({H} ∪ {T }) = P(S) = 1 If the coin is fair, we should assign 0.5 to P({H}) and 0.5 to P({T }). If the coin is more likely to give a Head, then 0.8 for P({H}) and 0.2 for P({T }) may be ...
