Abstract
Set algebras in a set Ω often are interpreted in probability theory as systems of events, where the empty set ø means the impossible event, Ω means the sure event. The event A ⋃ B occurs if at least one of the events A and B occurs, the event A ⋂ B occurs if both the event A and the event B occur. The event Ā occurs if A does not occur (conf. e.g. Wilks (1962)).
