From 6adcf0f2b0d3dded8f1e6fbf2e6207de38e06aad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oscar Johander Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2021 11:29:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Update Probability.ipynb From the linked Wikipedia-article: "In probability theory, an event is a set of outcomes of an experiment (a subset of the sample space) to which a probability is assigned." I believe this formulation is clearer than previous. --- ipynb/Probability.ipynb | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/ipynb/Probability.ipynb b/ipynb/Probability.ipynb index dca8619..56afedd 100644 --- a/ipynb/Probability.ipynb +++ b/ipynb/Probability.ipynb @@ -36,7 +36,7 @@ " The set of all possible outcomes for the trial. \n", "
