Informazioni sul libro
This book provides a systematic, self-sufficient and yet short presentation of the mainstream topics on introductory Probability Theory with some selected topics from Mathematical Statistics. It is suitable for a 10- to 14-week course for second- or third-year undergraduate students in Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Finance, or Economics, who have completed some introductory course in Calculus. There is a sufficient number of problems and solutions to cover weekly tutorials.

In this chapter, we introduce random events, probability of events, and conditional probability. In addition, we consider examples where probability can be calculated using combinatorial methods.
1.1Probability axioms
The probability theory gives numerical values for possible scenarios under uncertainty. For a particular problem, one has to construct a probability model. For this, one has to select a sample space from a system of events and presume that each event can be assigned with a certain probability for which it can occur.
The sample space
The set of all outcomes in a probability model is called the sample space. It is usually denoted by Ω, and an element of Ω are usually denoted by ω.
Example 1.1 Consider the coin tossing game where a coin is thrown in the air and the outcome of either a head or tail is observed. The sample space for this model is the set of all possible outcomes
Example 1.2 A coin is thrown twice, and a sequence of heads and tails is observed. The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes
It can be noted that a sample choice of Ω is not uniquely defined for a particular problem. Usually, it is convenient to consider the smallest possible set. However, it is also acceptable to consider larger sets Ω, including some “impossible” outcomes. This could be done for convenience or just to shorten the descriptions.
Example 1.3 Tomorrow’s exchange rate for AUD/USD can be regarded as an outcome. In this case, we could select the set
For this example, we could also take Ω = R, including some “impossible” outcomes.
Definition 1.4 Sets of outcomes (i.e. subsets of Ω) are called events (or random events).
The standard operations of the set theory can be applied directly into probability theory.
