INTRODUTION Probability theory, a branch of mathematics concerned with the analysis of random phenomena. The outcome of a random event cannot be determined before it occurs, but it may be any one of several possible outcomes. The actual outcome is considered to be determined by chance.

Deterministic vs. random experiments. An experiment is random if although it is repeated in the same manner every time, can result in different outcomes:

• The set of all possible outcomes is completely determined before carrying it out.
• Before we carry it out, we cannot predict its outcome.
• It can be repeated as many times as we want always under the same conditions (leading to different outcomes).

3. CLASIFICATION

DETERMINISTIC

• The Newton´s Laws of Motion
• The Economic Law of Demand

RANDOM

• Tossing a Coin
• Rolling of die
• Drawing a card from pack of card.
