Probability theory is based on the
mathematics of sets. A
|
|
|
set
can be used to define a “Sample Space” which
|
|
|
enumerates
the possible outcomes of an “experiment”.
|
|
|
|
Probability
can be defined as the ratio of the number of
|
|
|
|
positive
outcomes to the number of all possible outcomes
|
|
|
|
in an
experiment.

We will now review some set theory to
have some tools
|
|
|
|
we
can use in this course.
|
|
|
Later in the course we will also need to
review Sums,
|
|
|
|
Calculus,
Integral Transforms, and some Linear Algebra.
