Abstract
This chapter begins with the elementary aspects of probability by starting with sets and Venn diagrams. The concepts of probability follow with appropriate descriptions of marginal, joint, conditional, and total probabilities, Bayes’ rule, Bernoulli trials, etc. Examples include those that examine the notion of continuous probability as a prelude to the presentation of random variables in the next chapter. Keeping with the theme of application-oriented content, the chapter contains topics in data analytics such as the estimation of a priori, conditional, and a posteriori probabilities associated with a given set of data collected from measurements. The presentation of the subject matter is organized to offer the reader the importance and relevance of the topics to present-day engineering problems. The association between transition matrix and confusion matrix is introduced to illustrate the connection of the probability concepts to data science. Examples and exercises include conceptual and data analytics-based ones.
