Probability Lecture 1: Probability and Set Notation

[neocoretec]

First of all, thank you very much for sharing this playlist. I'm eager to consume it.
But one critic about the notation of the null set. If you write {∅}, in terms of set notation, this can only mean the set containing the null set, and in this case this set in turn is not empty. Maybe it is advisable to only use ∅ or {} for the empty set.

Nice class, but the symbol for the empty set is not correct.

You gotta choose your symbol, you can either use { } or the slashed ball.

{slashed ball} means the set whose only element is the empty set.

If a trial is a single roll of a dice or flip of a coin, does that mean that trial should be defined as: "Performing an experiment that generates a single elementary event" rather than "...a single event"?

I think in slide 4, instead of n tends to infinity, it must be nA tends to infinity (that is nA becomes large) because as n tends to infinity the limit approaches zero, i.e P(A) approaches zero & example given of an infinite number of coin tosses, probability of head will not be half, instead, it will be zero.
