Probability is a fundamental concept in mathematics and statistics that measures the likelihood of an event occurring. It's used in various fields such as finance, engineering, and everyday decision-making.

Key Concepts

  • Probability Scale: The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates impossibility and 1 indicates certainty.

  • Types of Probability:

    • Theoretical Probability: Based on mathematical principles and calculations.
    • Experimental Probability: Based on actual experiments and observations.
  • Conditional Probability: The probability of an event A occurring given that event B has already occurred.

Common Probability Problems

  • Coin Toss: What is the probability of getting heads or tails?
  • Dice Roll: What is the probability of rolling a 6 on a standard six-sided die?
  • Card Draw: What is the probability of drawing a specific card from a deck?
