Theory of Probability Introduction: If an experiment is repeated under essentially homogeneous and similar conditions, we generally come across two types of situations: (a) The result or what is usually known as the ‘ outcome ’ is unique or certain. The phenomena covered under this trial are known as ‘ deterministic ’ or ‘ predictable ’ phenomena. By a deterministic phenomenon we mean one in which the result can be predicted with certainty. Example: (i) For a perfect gas, , i.e., PV=constant , where V is the volume and P is the pressure of the gas, provided the temperature remains the same. (ii...
