Answer to Question #348416 in Statistics and Probability for Kunnie

Question

what is probability

Answer 1

Answer:

In general, probability means possibility or how likely something is to happen. The probability is a branch of mathematics which deals with the occurrence of a random event.

Simple formula of the probability:

Probability of the Even=(Favourable Number of outcomes of Event)/(Total Number of outcomes of Event).

The simplest example is flipping a coin. When you flip a coin there are only two possibilities, the result is either heads or tails and both events have the probability of 0.5.

So, the probability range is as follows:

$0\leq P(A)\leq 1.$
