Probability Self Study Objectives

Dear 2E2,

We will be studying Probability (TB 2B Chap 11) in a series of tasks.

Some of the key objectives that you will need to achieve are as follows

1. Understand that probability is a measure of chance.

2. Know the meaning of the terms

a. Sample Space
b. Event
c. Complement of an Event
d. Outcome
e. Fair / Unbiased
f. Equally Likely
g. Certain Event
h. Impossible Event

3. List the sample space for a simple chance situation.

4. Calculate the probability of a single event.

I recommend that you attempt the tasks in alphabetical order, but you do not have to. Some tasks have assignments that you will need to hand in. Please take note of the deadlines for the tasks given.

For each task, you may use the COMMENTS portion to ask or answer questions.

Last but not least, you will need to fill up a feedback form on your learning journey through this process. Your honesty and frank response will be much appreciated.

Yours truly,
Mr. Joseph Giri
