Abstract

Probability theory deals with the study of events whose precise occurrence cannot be predicted in advance. These kind of events are also termed as random events. For example, a toss of a coin, the result may be either HEAD or TAIL. The result cannot be predicted, hence the event—tossing a coin—is an example of random event.
