Overview
Define and explain some important terms used in probability. Give practical examples of each term. List the chance instruments used in probability. Explain the frequencies approach to theoretical probabilities. Describe with examples, the equiprobable sample space. Solve sample examples in equiprobable simple space. Solve simple problems on probability. Identify and solve various practical problems on probability involve in: health, finance, population.
