2. Event (probability theory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_(probability_theory)

   In probability theory, an event is a subset of outcomes of an experiment (a subset of the sample space) to which a probability is assigned. [1] A single outcome may be an element of many different events, [2] and different events in an experiment are usually not equally likely, since they may include very different groups of outcomes. [3]

3. Bernoulli trial - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_trial

   Graphs of probability P of not observing independent events each of probability p after n Bernoulli trials vs np for various p.Three examples are shown: Blue curve: Throwing a 6-sided die 6 times gives a 33.5% chance that 6 (or any other given number) never turns up; it can be observed that as n increases, the probability of a 1/n-chance event never appearing after n tries rapidly converges to ...

4. Boy or girl paradox - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_or_Girl_paradox

   Following the tradition of the problem, suppose that in the population of two-child families, the sex of the two children is independent of one another, equally likely boy or girl, and that the birth date of each child is independent of the other child. The chance of being born on any given day of the week is ⁠ 1 / 7 ⁠.

5. Outcome (probability) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outcome_(probability)

   The event that contains all possible outcomes of an experiment is its sample space. A single outcome can be a part of many different events. [4] Typically, when the sample space is finite, any subset of the sample space is an event (that is, all elements of the power set of the sample space are defined as events).

6. Probability space - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_space

   For example, one can define a probability space which models the throwing of a die. A probability space consists of three elements: [1] [2] A sample space, , which is the set of all possible outcomes. An event space, which is a set of events, , an event being a set of outcomes in the sample space.

7. Gambler's fallacy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler's_fallacy

   This is incorrect and is an example of the gambler's fallacy. The event "5 heads in a row" and the event "first 4 heads, then a tails" are equally likely, each having probability ⁠ 1 / 32 ⁠. Since the first four tosses turn up heads, the probability that the next toss is a head is:

9. Equiprobability - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equiprobability

   However, the conclusion that the sun is equally likely to rise as it is to not rise is only absurd when additional information is known, such as the laws of gravity and the sun's history. Similar applications of the concept are effectively instances of circular reasoning , with "equally likely" events being assigned equal probabilities, which ...
