Experiments, Outcomes, Sample Spaces, and Events

Install and import#

bash
npm install fintech-algorithms
ts
import { experimentsOutcomesSampleSpacesAndEvents } from "fintech-algorithms/financial-mathematics-statistics-and-data-foundations/probability-and-random-variables/experiments-outcomes-sample-spaces-and-events";

Signature#

experimentsOutcomesSampleSpacesAndEvents(input)
