Probabilistic models and probability measures
... When the sample space Ω is uncountable, the idea of defining the probability of a general subset of Ω in terms of the probabilities of elementary outcomes runs into difficulties. Suppose, for example, that the experiment consists of drawing a number from the interval [0, 1], and that we wish to model ...

So, no matter what interpretation is ascribed to the concept of probability, if the numerical values of the events under consideration follow the addition and product rules then the LLNs are just an inevitable logical consequence. In other words, you don’t have to be a f ...

... HHH, TTT, THT, HTH, TTH, HHT, THH, and HTT. Note: Some students may answer no for this question, which is fine as long as their reasoning is correct. They may say that the outcomes for tossing three coins at once are three heads, three tails, two heads and one tail, or two tails and one head. These ...

Probability myths
... In our simulation each digit will represent a coin toss. We can let odd digits represent the outcome “heads” and let even digits represent the outcome “tails.” Note this works out because there are 5 odd digits and 5 even digits (including 0), so the probability of choosing an odd number is exactly ...

... This construction only extends a k-bit seed to k + 1 bits. Is that sufficient? It is. We can generate an infinite sequence very simply by saying that bit k of our sequence is just G(f k (s)). That is, iterate the one-way permutation k times, and then apply the hard-core predicate. Aside: This means ...

Probability Probability is the study of uncertain events or outcomes
... We could rewrite these probabilities as q = 1/6 + θ and p = 1/6 − 2θ, where θ is a function of k. By creating several dice with different values of k, we could experiment to try to determine the relationship between θ and k. Alternatively, we could try to use the laws of physics and develop a mathema ...
