Classical probability #

The classical formulation of probability states that the probability of an event occurring in a finite probability space is the ratio of that event to all possible events. This notion can be expressed with measure theory using the counting measure. In particular, given the sets s and t, we define the probability of t occurring in s to be |s|⁻¹ * |s ∩ t|. With this definition, we recover the probability over the entire sample space when s = Set.univ.

Classical probability is often used in combinatorics and we prove some useful lemmas in this file for that purpose.

Notes #

The original aim of this file is to provide a measure theoretic method of describing the probability an element of a set s satisfies some predicate P. Our current formulation still allow us to describe this by abusing the definitional equality of sets and predicates by simply writing condCount s P. We should avoid this however as none of the lemmas are written for predicates.

Given a set s, condCount s is the counting measure conditioned on s. In particular, condCount s t is the proportion of s that is contained in t.

This is a probability measure when s is finite and nonempty and is given by ProbabilityTheory.condCount_isProbabilityMeasure.
