Probability Theory
borel measurable function
<ul>
<li>
Sample Space $\Omega$: the SET of possible outcomes or observations.
Note the 'type' of $\Omega$ - it is a set of uniterpreted items $SET_0$.
elements (or observations) of this set are labeled $\omega \in \Omega$
</li>
<li>
Event Space $\mathcal{F}$: the SET of events $A \in \mathcal{F}$ and $A \subseteq \Omega$.
Note the 'type' of $\mathcal{F}$ - it is a set of sets (a set of subsets of $\Omega$) $SET_1$.
The Event Space must have the following properties:
<ol>
<li>
$\emptyset \in \mathcal{F}$ (the empty set is in $\mathcal{F}$)
</li>
<li>
$A \in \mathcal{F} \Rightarrow \Omega \setminus A \in \mathcal{F}$
(if $A$ is an event in $\mathcal{F}$ then the relative complement of $A$ with respect to $\Omega$ is also in $\mathcal{F}$)
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>
Probability Measure $P : \mathcal{F} \to \Bbb{R}$: maps an event in the event space to a real number
</li>
</ul>
