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- typed-quite-a-few-notes-for- this- day- but- went- to- check- it- and -got- an- error- in- this- equation.- Anyone- know- how -to- fix- this? $
