Experiment (probability theory)

in statistics and probability theory, set of outcomes to which a probability is assigned

set of all possible outcomes or results of a statistical trial or experiment

mathematical concept

term in probability theory

In mathematical analysis and in probability theory, a σ-algebra ("sigma algebra") is part of the formalism for defining sets that can be measured. In calculus and analysis, for example, σ-algebras are used to define the concept of sets with area or volume. In probability theory, they are used to define events for which a probability can be defined. In this way, σ-algebras help to formalize the notion of size.

any experiment with two possible random outcomes

in probability theory, procedure that can be infinitely repeated, with a well-defined set of outcomes
