Classical probability theory is concerned with carrying out probability calculations based on equally

likely outcomes. That is, it is assumed that the sample space has been constructed in such a way

that every subset of the sample space consisting of a single element has the same probability. If

the sample space contains n possible outcomes (#S = n), we must have for all s 2 S,

P(fsg) =

1

n

and hence for all E S

P(E) =

#E

n

:

More informally, we have

P(E) =

number of ways E can occur

total number of outcomes
