Abstract
In modern probability theory, a fundamental building block is the “probability space”, a concept that is to be precisely defined in the latter portion of this chapter. We begin the chapter informally by giving some concrete examples of probability spaces. In particular, we model the experiment of tossing a fair coin infinitely many times.
