Consider the experiment of tossing a 6-sided die. Suppose the outcome is 2. Does the event that the outcome is even happen? The answer is yes. Now assume that the toss produces an outcome 4, does the event that the outcome is even happen? The answer is yes. Actually observe that when the outcome is from the set {2, 4, 6}, the event happens. Thus an event in a probabilistic experiment is actuall...

A probability is an indicator how likely something is to happen. For example, if we roll probability a die, we may ask what the probability is that we roll a six. In other words, there is a certain event A := “we roll a six”, and we ask for the probability Pr[A] that this event event occurs. In our example, for a fair die, Pr[A] = 16 because there are six equally likely numbers we can roll. So,...
