Suppose we wish to model letter frequency using a sample space. That is, let .S; P / be a sample space in which S consists of the 26 letters A through Z as basic outcomes. When all elements of a sample space This sample space is meant to model the process of choosing a letter at random from have the same probability, we say that the distribution is uniform. an English word. Would it be reasonable to set P .A/ D P .B/ D P .C / D D P .Z/ D 1=26? If not, what would be a better way to choose these probabilities?
