Learning Goals: quantify uncertainty
(i) To measure the uncertainty of an event.
5.1 Some important terms:
5.1.1 Factorial
Multiplication of first
“n" natural number is termed as “n factorial” denoted by n! or [2
Example 5.1: factorial of 6 denoted by 6! is6!=6x5x4x3x2x1=720
5.1.2 Combination
All possible selection of “r” objects out of “n” distinct objects ignoring their order is
* + +. i
called combination, it is denoted by"c, and is given as "C, Hen! where'n 2 Fr
ritn-r)t
Other forms of writing combination are .&.{") or C(n,r)

5.1.4 Trial
Atrial is a single performance of an experiment.
5.2 Random experiment : we “
‘An experiment which may produce different results for each trial under similar conditior
is called random experiment.
Tossing a coin, rolling a die and drawing a card from a pack of playing cards
interviewing a person for a specific purpose, recording the amount of rain fall in a cit
are examples of a random experiment. Experiments conducted in the laboratories 0
physical and life sciences, observing various characteristics of a plant or an animal ar
also examples of random experiment.
5.3 Sample space
A set of all possible outcomes that can be generated by the performance of a random
experiment is called sample space. Sample space provides a mathematical model of rea
life situation. : :
A member of sample space is called sample point.
Example 5.4: Make sample space for
1. Tossing a coin i
2. Tossing two coins (a coin two times)

here are two types of random variables, discrete and continuous,
64.4 Discrete random variable
Arandom variable which may take on only a countable or specific values such as 0.1.2...
iscalled discrete random variable, for examples number of children in a family, number
of patients in a clinic and number of defective items in a box containing "77" total items.
6.1.2 Continuous random variable
Arandom variable which may take an infinite number of possible values or any value
within a range is said to be continuous random variable, Continuous random variables
ae usually measurements. Examples are height and weight of a person, the amount of
sugar in an orange and the life time of an object.
6.2 Probability distribution .
Probability distribution is a statistical model that relates the values of a random variable
to their probability of occurrence. 5
A list of values of the discrete random variable associated with its probability of
