Experiment. 定義. An experiment is any activity from which an outcome, measurement, or result is obtained. 任何求結果的過程或活動皆可稱為「試驗」。 When the outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty, the experiment is a random experiment . 當結果無法事先預測時,稱此試驗為「隨機試驗」。.

Basic Outcomes and Sample SpaceBasic Outcomes and Sample Space
• The set of all possible basic outcomes for a given experiment is called the sample space. 隨機實驗的所有可能結果稱為樣本空間,一般以 S或 Ω 表示。
• Each possible outcome of a random experiment is called a basic outcome (or a sample point, an element in the sample space). 隨機實驗中所得到的任何可能的個別結果稱之為「基本結果」(或樣本點、或簡稱樣本),以小寫 oi表示。
EventEvent 事件事件• An event is a specific collection of basic outco
mes, that is, a set containing one or more of the basic outcomes from the sample space. We say that an event occurs if any one of the basic outcomes in the event occurs.
Assigning Probabilities to EventsAssigning Probabilities to Events事件的機率事件的機率
• There are two types of random experiments, those that can be repeated over and over again under essentially identical conditions and those that are unique and cannot be repeated.
Assigning Probabilities to EventsAssigning Probabilities to Events事件的機率事件的機率
• A numerical measure that indicates the likelihood of a specific outcome in a repeatable random experiment is called an objective probability, whereas the probability associated with a specific outcome of a unique and nonrepeatable random experiment is called a subjective probability.
The Relative Frequency Approach The Relative Frequency Approach 相對次數(後天)機率理論相對次數(後天)機率理論
• Let fA be the number of occurrences, or frequency of occurrence, of event A in n repeated identical trials. The probability that A occurs is the limit of the ratio fA/n as the number of trials n becomes infinitely large.
• (1) Because we can never replicate an experiment an infinite number of times, it is impossible to determine the limit of the ratio fA/n as n approaches infinity.
• (2) We can never be sure that we have repeated an experiment under identical conditions.
• When we use the relative frequency approach, we use the observed ratio fA/n to approximate the theoretical probability that event A occurs. That is, we assume that P(A) fA/n when n is sufficiently large.
The Equally Likely ApproachThe Equally Likely Approach古典(先天)機率理論古典(先天)機率理論
• Suppose that an experiment must result in one of n equally likely outcomes. Then each possible basic outcome is considered to have probability 1/n of occurring on any replication of the experiment.
• 一樣本空間有 n 個樣本點(基本結果),且每一個樣本點發生的機會皆相等。則在任何重複試驗中,每一個樣本點發生的機率為 1/n 。若事件 A 的樣本點個數為 nA,則 A 發生的機率為:
• The nature of the problem determines which approach is best.
• Problems with an underlying symmetry, such as coin, dice, and card problems, are especially suited to the equally likely approach.
• Problems for which we have large samples of data based on many replications of an experiment are especially suited to the relative frequency approach.
• Problems that occur only once, such as a sporting event, are especially suited to the subjective approach.
Operation of Set Theory: Operation of Set Theory: UnionsUnions聯集聯集
• Unions聯集• Let A and B be two events in
the sample space S. Their union, denoted A U B. is the event composed of all basic outcomes in S that belong to at least one of the two events A or B. Hence, the union A U B occurs if either A or B (or both) occurs.
Operation of Set Theory: Operation of Set Theory: IntersectionIntersection 交集交集
• Intersection交集 :• Let A and B be two events in the sampl
e space S. The intersection of A and B, denoted A B. is the event composed of all basic outcomes in S that belong to both A and B. Hence, the intersection A B occurs if both A and B occur.
• Let A denote some event in the sample space S. The complement of A (A 的餘事件) , denoted by Ac, represents the event composed of all basic outcomes in S that do not belong to A.
• Let A and B be two events in a sample space S. If A and B have no basic outcomes in common, then they are said to be mutually exclusive. If A and B are mutually exclusive events, we write (A B) = Ø, where Ø denotes the empty set. P(A B) = 0.
Some basic rules of probabilitySome basic rules of probability
• Probability of a basic outcome:• For each basic outcome oi, 0 P(oi) 1. • Probability of an event:• Let event A = { o1 , o2 , o3 , o4 ,o5 ,…ok }, where o1 , o2 , o3 , o4
,o5 ,…ok are k different basic outcomes. The probability of any event A is the sum of the probabilities of the basic outcomes in A. That is,

A joint probability shows the probability that an observation will possess two (or more) characteristics simultaneously. Every joint probability must be a number in the closed interval [0,1] and the sum of all joint probabilities must be 1.
IndependenceIndependence 獨立獨立• Approximately 30% of the sales representatives hired by a firm quit in
less than 1 year. Suppose that two sales representatives are hired and assume that the first sales representative's behavior is independent of the second sales representative's behavior.
• (a) What is the probability that both quit within a year?
• (b) Find the probability that exactly one representative quits.

Sampling with and without Sampling with and without replacementreplacement
Selecting a random sample can be viewed as a process in which we sequentially obtain one observation after another. When we sample with replacement, successive outcomes are independent:
