Basic Probability Concepts
Chapter
Abstract
Central to our study are three critical concepts: randomness, probability, and a priori probability. In this chapter, we will discuss these terms. Probability is a very subtle concept. We feel we intuitively understand it. Mathematically, probability problems are easily defined. Yet when we try to obtain a precise physical definition, we find the concept often slips through our grasp.
