Introduction to Probability
Probability assesses the likelihood of
events in uncertain scenarios. It assigns
values from 0 to 1 to outcomes in a
sample space, indicating impossibility (0)
to certainty (1). This mathematical
concept enables predictions, risk
assessment, and decision-making in
diverse fields. Probability theory relies on
experiments, sample spaces, and rules
governing events. It quantifies
uncertainty systematically, aiding
informed choices across various real-
world situations.
Understanding Sample Space
A sample space in probability
represents the set of all possible
outcomes from an experiment. It
encompasses every conceivable result
or event that could occur. For
instance, when rolling a six-sided die,
the sample space consists of numbers
1 through 6. Understanding the
sample space is crucial in calculating
probabilities, as it defines the universe
of potential outcomes for an
experiment.

Mathematicians behind
probability
1. Blaise Pascal (1623–1662): Co-developed the theory
of probability with Pierre de Fermat, laying early
groundwork and introducing fundamental concepts.
2. Pierre-Simon Laplace (1749–1827): Formulated the
classical interpretation of probability and introduced
Bayesian probability, significantly advancing the field's
mathematical foundations.
3. Andrey Kolmogorov (1903–1987): Established the
modern axiomatic foundations of probability theory,
providing a rigorous mathematical framework and
unifying various probabilistic concepts.
