Probability is the branch of mathematics where we determine how likely an event is to occur. It is represented as a numeric value ranging from 0 to 1. Probability can be calculated as:
Probability=Favourable OutcomeTotal Number of OutcomesProbability=Total Number of OutcomesFavourable Outcome
Total outcomes represent the complete set of possible results an event can produce.
Favourable outcomes refer to the outcome we are interested in.
Examples of Probability
What are the chances of the following events when we pick a random number from 1 to 10 ?
