🛎️ What Is Probability?
- Probability tells us how likely an event is to happen.
- It is written from 0 to 1, or 0% to 100%.
- 0% means impossible and 100% means certain.
🛎️ Calculating Probability
- Probability equals number of desired outcomes ÷ total number of outcomes.
- For example, with 3 red balls out of 10 balls, the probability of red is 3/10 or 30%.
🛎️ Experimental Probability
- Experimental probability is used when the true probability is unknown.
- You repeat an experiment to estimate how likely an event is.
- The more trials you do, the closer it gets to the true probability.
