Key Points: Types of Events in Probability
| Type of Event | Meaning | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Sure (Certain) Event | An event that is certain to occur | P(E) = 1 |
| Impossible Event | An event that cannot occur | P(E) = 0 |
| Simple (Elementary) Event | An event having only one outcome | P(E) = 1 / n(S) |
| Complementary Event (E̅) | An event that occurs when E does not occur | P(not E) = 1 − P(E) |
| Mutually Exclusive Events | Two events that cannot occur together | P(A ∩ B) = 0 |
| Exhaustive Events | Events which together cover all outcomes of S | P(A₁) + P(A₂) + … = 1 |
| Equally Likely Events | All outcomes have the same chance of occurring | P(E) = n(E) / n(S) |
| General Rule | Probability of any event | 0 ≤ P(E) ≤ 1 |
