Using this model, the probability that the outcome lies in a given set E [0; 1] is equal to the Lebesgue measure of E. For example, the probability that the outcome is rational is 0, and the probability that …

Probability is a way of summarizing the uncertainty of statements or events. It gives a numerical measure for the degree of certainty (or degree of uncertainty) of the occurrence of an event.

It presents a thorough treatment of probability ideas and techniques necessary for a firm understanding of the subject. The text can be used in a variety of course lengths, levels, and areas of emphasis.
