    1. Probability Want to be able to make inferences about a population from a sample or samples Probability will allow inferences with a measure of reliability for the inferences Initially, we will assume that the population is known and will calculate the probability of observing various samples from the population; i.e., use the population to infer the probable nature of the sample

    2. Events, Sample Spaces, and Probability Experiment---an act or process of observation that leads to a single outcome that cannot be predicted with certainty Observing the up face when tossing a coin Observing the up faces on the toss of 2 coins Observing the up face on a die toss

    3. Events, Sample Spaces, and Probability Sample point---most basic outcome of an experiment Observe H or T Observe HH or HT or TH or TT Observe 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6

    4. Events, Sample Spaces, and Probability Sample space---collection of all sample points for the experiment S: {H,T} S: {HH, HT, TH, TT} S: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
