+## Idea
+
+A {{#concept "finite probability space" Agda=Finite-Probability-Space}} is a
+[finite type](univalent-combinatorics.finite-types.md) equipped with a
+[probability distribution](finite-probability-theory.probability-distributions-on-finite-types.md).
+
+Any finite probability space is [inhabited](foundation.inhabited-types.md).
+
+Our definitions follows {{#cite Babai00}}, although, there it is assumed that
+the underlying type is [nonempty](foundation-core.empty-types.md), but this
+follows from the condition of having
+[total measure](finite-probability-theory.positive-distributions-on-finite-types.md)
+equal to 1.
