Probability page discussion

Probability page discussion

Nice work Junyuan, Samprity, Ke Dai and Arthur Sun. A very good page on the basics of probability. The concepts are well written, the use of examples were great and there is much depth in the material though the page is not unnecessarily long at all. I have a couple of suggestions that I believe would make the page even better. You did mention about the page being regarding the finite case. If it is possible, a small description of what is the finite case and what is the infinite case might make the page even better. One more thing that I would like to mention is that in the subsection 3.1.3(Event), the probability of an event was given based on notations of probability measure which was introduced on the next sections(3.1.4).This can be a bit convoluted for someone who does not have much idea about probability. However, I can also see why you might have done that, since you have used the notion of events to define probability measure. One way this issue could be solved is, to divide the subsection (3.1.3) into two: Event and Event Space. Then, I believe, the notation problem can be avoided. Or you can simply mention the probability after you have defined the probability measure notations. Thank you and I hope this feedback would help you.
