1.0 Introduction

In this chapter we provide some basic concepts and definitions. We begin with a brief discussion of what probability is. Then we review some mathematical foundations that are needed for developing probability theory. Next we discuss the concept of random experiments and the axioms of probability. We then introduce discrete and continuous probability models. Finally, we discuss conditional probability.
