In probabilitytheory , two sequences of probability measure s are said to be contiguous if asymptotically they share the same support measure theory support . Thus the notion of contiguity extends the concept of absolute continuity to the sequences of measures. The concept was originally introduced by harvtxt Le Cam 1960 as part of his contribution to the development of abstract general asymptotic theory in mathematical statistics . Le Cam was instrumental during the period in the development of abstract general asymptotic theory in mathematical statistics.

In the mathematics of probability , an impossible event is an Eventprobabilitytheoryevent A with probability zero, or Pr A 0. ref Tannenbaum & Arnold, p. 468 Citation needed date September 2010 ref See in particular almost surely . An impossible event is not the same as the stronger concept of logical impossibility . For any continuous probability distribution the probability of any single elementary event is 0, yet the event is not logically impossible as an event outside the distribution. For instance, the probability of hitting any specific point on a dart board, let s say a square in Cartesian coordinates &minus 10, 10 × &minus 10, 10 and the point 4.5678, &minus 8.4568 , is 0, because there is an Uncountable set uncountably infinite number of points on the board. In contrast, hitting a point outside of the space considered is logically impossible.

In probabilitytheory , the complement of any eventprobabilitytheoryevent A is the event not A , i.e. the event that A does not occur. The event A and its complement not A are mutually exclusive and Collectively exhaustive events exhaustive . Generally, there is only one event B such that A and B are both mutually exclusive and exhaustive that event is the complement of A . The complement of an event A is usually denoted as math A prime math , math A c math or math overline A math . Simple examples A coin is flipped and one assumes it cannot land on its edge. It can either land on heads or on tails Because these two events are complementary, we have math Pr mathrm heads Pr mathrm tails 1. math Three plastic balls are in a bag. One is blue and two are red. Assuming that each has an equal chance of being pulled out of the bag, math Pr mathrm blue 1 3 mbox and Pr mathrm red 2 3. math Example of the utility of this concept Suppose one throws an ordinary six sided die eight times.
