What Is Probability?

Probability measures the likelihood of an event occurring, expressed as a number between 0 (impossible) and 1 (certain).

Formula

P(A) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes

Example

Drawing a red card from a deck: 26 favorable outcomes out of 52 total = 0.5 or 50%.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do probability values mean?

0 = impossible, 0.25 = unlikely, 0.5 = even chance, 0.75 = likely, 1 = certain.

How do I combine probabilities?

Independent events: P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B). Mutually exclusive: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B).
