	Probability theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Probability theory is the mathematical study of probability.
		Probabilities P(E) are assigned to events E according to the probability axioms.
		Others assign probabilities to propositions that are uncertain according either to subjective degrees of belief in their truth, or to logically justifiable degrees of belief in their truth.

		Probabilities are assigned to events according to the probability axioms.
		The probability that an event occurs given the known occurrence of an event is the conditional probability of given ; its numerical value is.
		We call this sort of probability space a continuous probability space and are lead to questions in measure theory when we try to define P. random variable is a measureable function on Ω.

	Probability space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, a probability space or probability measure is a set S, together with a σ-algebra X on S and a measure P on that σ-algebra such that P(S) = 1.
		The measure P is called the probability measure, and P(E) is the probability of the event E.
		Note that not all subsets of a probability space are necessarily events.

	Law of total probability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nomenclature in probability theory is not wholly standard.
		The phrase law of total probability is also used to refer to the proposition that says that under similar assumptions, we have
		The prior probability of A is equal to the prior expected value of the posterior probability of A.

	Event (probability theory) - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In probability theory, an event is a set of outcomes (a subset of the sample space) to which a probability is assigned.
		all elements of the power set of the sample space are events), but when defining a probability space it is possible to exclude certain subsets of the sample space from being events (see §2, below).
		Venn diagrams are particularly useful for representing events because the probability of the event can be identified with the ratio of the area of the event and the area of the sample space.

		The probability of an event occurring is the number in the event divided by the number in the sample space.
		The empirical probability of an event is the relative frequency of a frequency distribution based upon observation.
		The probability of an event not occurring is one minus the probability of it occurring.

	Math Forum: Ask Dr. Math FAQ: Probability
		The sample space is a set consisting of all the possible outcomes of an event (like drawing a marble from a jar, or picking a card from a deck).
		Because each probability is a fraction of the sample space, the sum of the probabilities of all the possible outcomes equals one.
		The probability of the occurrence of an event is always one minus the probability that it doesn't occur.

	Interpretations of Probability
		When the spaces are countably infinite, the spirit of the classical theory may be upheld by appealing to the information-theoretic principle of maximum entropy, a generalization of the principle of indifference.
		Probability is thought of as a physical propensity, or disposition, or tendency of a given type of physical situation to yield an outcome of a certain kind, or to yield a long run relative frequency of such an outcome.
		The laws of probability then are claimed to be constraints on these estimates: putative necessary conditions for minimizing her ‘losses’ in a broad sense, be they monetary, or measured by distances from the assignments of these experts.

		Probability Moon (The Probability Trilogy) by Nancy Kress
		The story line of Probability Space can stand alone yet brings closure that will please fans of the series and coax newcomers to seek out the previous books.
		Though the probability of some of the events occurring as written seems statistically unreliable, Nancy Kress furbishes a strong climax to a delightfully intelligent triad.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Probability Space
		For that reason, Probability Sun and Probability Moon were two novels that worked on several layers at once, as speculation, adventure story, and character study.
		Because of that, Probability Space, while it is enjoyable and does a good job of wrapping up the story, does not quite reach to the same heights as its predecessors.
		Probability Space is a well-written space-adventure, which, because it focuses more on story than character, should satisfy readers of the Probability series who want to know how the story ends, but may disappoint those who'd like to know more about the people in the story.

		In Probability Space, humanity's war with the alien Fallers continues, and it is a war we are losing.
		As the action moves from Earth to Mars to the farthest reaches of known space, with civil unrest back home and alien war in deep space, four humans - armed with little more than an unproven theory - try to enter the Fallers' home star system.
		It's a deperate gamble, and the fate of the entire universe may hang in the balance.
