We begin by defining a random sample and explaining how a random sample is also considered a collection of independent and identically distributed random variables. To do so, the idea of mutually…
There are four scenarios that have a simple way to count the number of outcomes. The fourth of these is when the outcomes are unordered, and sampling is with replacement. This is the most…

Enumerating outcomes in the sample space of an experiment, or in an event in the Borel field on the sample space, is the first step in computing the probability of an event. In this section, we…
