A sample space is a set whose elements are called events.

A Probability Function - is a function where p: S -> (real number) with p(s)being an element of [0,1] Further, In a case where S is a finite we have $ \sum_{L exists in S}{p(s)}={1}<math/>(I almost typed all the notes for this day but went to check it and got an error in this equation. Anyone know how to fix this?) $
