    This document discusses key concepts in probability, including sample space, events, and probability. It defines a sample space as the set of all possible outcomes of a random process. An event is any subset of a sample space. Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event and is generally denoted as P(event). Examples are provided to illustrate these concepts, such as tossing a die, inspecting manufactured items, and observing defective items in a sample lot.

    • Sample Space and Relationships among Events

    – Sample Space - is a set of all possible outcomes of a random process.


    Denoted by S.
    Example: Tossing a die.
    A sample set can be written as:
    S = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

    or if we are only interested in the occurrence of odd or even


    numbers
    S = {even,odd}
    • An event is any subset of a sample space. Denoted using
    capital letters (A,B,C,…E1,E2,E3…).

    Example: Process of checking the quality of one manufactured


    item and classifying it as defective or nondefective.

    Sample Set can be written as:

    S = {defective,nondefective}

    One event in this experiment can be defined as:


    A = Observing a defective item
    • Example: Checking the quality of a lot of incoming material, a
    supervisor inspects a sample of 25 items and classifies each as
    defective or nondefective.

    Sample Set:
    *S = {1,2,3,4,…,25}

    Event A = Observing at most 2 defective items


    *A = {0,1,2}

    Event B = Observing at least 2 but not more than 7 defective


    items
    *B = {2,3,4,5,6,7}
    • Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event. The
    probability of an event is generally denoted by P(event).
