Abstract: Abstract If S is any probability space (Definition 1.6), we have defined an event A as any subset of S (Definition 1.12). In Chapter 2 we worked with a uniform space S and considered the problem of computing the probability p(A) by counting the elements in A and in S and using Equation 1.11: p(A) = n(A)/ n(S).
