Notes:
Probabilty is used to work out the outcome of an event mathematically
Sample space is all of the possible outcomes listed in the experiment (same as a set) or if defined, the particular event from a list of all outcomes
Experiment is a list of all possible outcomes, an event is a subset of the sample space
Application Tasks:
Application Tasks:
Create a quick game or challenge that can be played within a minute or less. List all possible outcomes, then list them in a sample space. Predict which will be the most favourable outcome and why you think so. Carry out the game at least 5 times. List the result in a table and write a conclusion about the most likely outcome for future events.
