Synopsis

3.1 Random ExperimentsRandom experiment is an observational process whose results cannot be known in advance. For example, if we record the number of babies born in Ghana everyday, we will get a large variation of the numbers we get each day. On some days, many babies will be born while on other days, few babies will be born. There is therefore a large varriation in the number of babies who are born in Ghana everyday. We cannot therefore tell in advance the number of babies born in Ghana on a given day. The same sort of remark can be made about the number of road traffic accidents which occur in Ghana everyday. Such experiments, because their outcomes cannot be predicted are called random experiments.The purpose of probability theory is to provide a basis for mathematical calculations about random experiments. It also provides the foundation for statistical inference. However, this theory which is a branch of mathematics, is not the main purpose of this book and so only its fundamental concepts are discussed here. Students who wish to pyursue this subject should refer to Bates (1965), Hogg and Craig (1975), Dixon (1975) Ofosu and Hesse (2011).
