   That is a good question: How small the probability of the occurrence of a certain event must be in order for us to call it a rare event? The answer is: It depends. The probability threshold needs to be pre-specified before we can call an event to be rare. The typical threshold used in most Statistics courses is 0.05. So, an event will be rare if it...

   Let A be a probability event (let us recall that a probability space is a subset of the sample space Ω\OmegaΩ, which corresponds to all possible outcomes of a probability experiment). We say the event A is rare, or unusual , if That is it. Simple. You are given an event, you compute its probability, if it is less than 0.05 (or whatever the pre-spec...

   Not many complications should be found with the concept of rare event itself. Typically, the hardest part could to compute the probability of a certain event (which can always be tricky....do not forget, calculating probabilities is not always easy). Once you know the probability of the event, you simply check if it is less than 0.05. Make sure tha...

   Can an event be rare if its probability is less than 0.05?

   • The answer is: It depends. The probability threshold needs to be pre-specified before we can call an event to be rare. The typical threshold used in most Statistics courses is 0.05. So, an event will be rare if its probability of occurrence is less than 0.05. How to Write it Mathematically?

   What is a rare event?

   • Speaking generally, a rare event is an event that is very unlikely to happen, an event that has small likelihood of occurring. And such likelihood is measured as a probability. So then, in other words, a rare event is simply an event with a small probability of occurrence How Small is Small?

   What is the difference between 'generally not' and 'not generally'?

   • Haha, it gets more confusing when I am negating the word: 'generally not' could mean either never or seldom (depending on whether the mathematical or non-mathematical meaning is being understood), while 'not generally' could mean either "often" or "sometimes" (due to the same ambiguity). This can get quite some list… Here are a few:

   How do you know if an event is rare or unusual?

   • You are given an event, you compute its probability, if it is less than 0.05 (or whatever the pre-specified threshold for unusual events is), then it is considered to be rare or unusual, otherwise, it is a usual event.

   What does almost no integer mean?

   • “ Almost no integer” usually means “only a finite subset of integers.” “A property holds almost everywhere (in a measure space)” usually means “everywhere in a set except a subset of measure zero.” “An event occurs almost surely ” usually means that “the event has a probability of 1, even though it does not include all of the possible outcomes.”

   Do you know math terms?

   • Believe it or not, there are a lot of words in math — and if you don’t know them, it’s going to be hard to work with the numbers they describe. An understanding of basic math terms goes a long way, no matter if you consider yourself a “math person” or not.
