Event space F

  • The event space consists of all possible combinations of outcomes (Events EΩ).

  • Note that an outcome is an element of Ω, an Event is a subset. Can consist of one or many outcomes.

  • For a discrete sample space with n elements, there are 2n Events in F

  • Example: Consider an experiment with 3 outcomes Ω={A,B,C}. Then:

F={,{A},{B},{C},{A,B},{A,C},{B,C},{A,B,C}}
