Definition of Probability
it is an area of mathematics that deals with experiments that yield random results, yet admit a certain regularity.
Results of experiments over long periods produce patterns that enable us to make predictions.

Probability Models
A probability model has two components
1) A sample space
2) An assignment of probabilities
10
Properties of Probability
1) The probability assigned to each outcome is nonnegative.
2) The sum of all probabilities equals 1.

Constructing a Probability Model
An example consists of rolling a fair die once. A die is a cube with each face having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 dots on it. Construct a probabilty model for it.
15
Multiple Choice
An experiment consists of tossing a coin. The coin is weighted as so that heads {H} is three times as likely to occur than tails {T}.
What are the probabilities of each outcome?
P(H)=21
P(T)=21
P(H) = 41
P(T)=43
P(H)=43
P(T)=41
P(H) 43
P(T)=21
