1) Discrete Probability Spaces

Discrete probability spaces represent occurrences when the sample space includes finite and countable outcomes. To determine the probability P(A) of an event with a finite sample space and equally likely outcomes, we use the formula with the ratio: P(A) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes Questions students should be able to answer: 1) What is a discrete sample space? 2) How to determine the probability of an event in the sample space?
