Understanding Probability

Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event occurring. It is quantified as a number between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates impossibility and 1 indicates certainty.

Formula: Probability (P) = Favorable Outcomes / Total Possible Outcomes

Favorable Outcomes: The number of outcomes that are in your favor or that you are interested in.

Total Possible Outcomes: The total number of possible results in a given situation.

Example: If you flip a fair coin, the probability of getting heads is 1/2 or 0.5, because there is one favorable outcome (heads) out of two total possible outcomes (heads and tails).
