33.1.1 Random Phenomena and the Sample Space

Core idea

Before you flip a coin nobody can tell you heads or tails, so toss every possible outcome into one bag, and that bag is the sample space Ω

Module goal. Start from random phenomena, where "you can't be sure of the outcome," and build up probability as a number that measures "how likely" something is
