Abstract
An usual way of introducing probability is through the following framework: given a non-empty set Ω (representing the certain event) and an algebra A of subsets (representing events) of Ω, a probability on (Ω, A) is a real-valued set function P satisfying the following axioms (A1) P(Ω) = 1; (A2) P(A V B) = P(A) + P(B) for incompatible A, B ∈ A; (A3) P(E) is non-negative for any E ∈ A.
