PROBABILITY
Probability- likelihood or chance of an event occurring
We determine a probability by making a fractions
Favorable outcomes
-------------------------
Possible outcomes
Probability can be expressed within using fraction ,ratios ,or percent
EXAMPLE
1/2 or 1:2 or 50%
Possible outcome -One or more result of a probability experiment .
Favorable outcome-A successful result in a probability experiment .
HERE ARE EXAMPLES
I apologized if my picture is small cause i did it in paint
An example of a chart table
Independent event - the outcome of an event has no effect on the outcome of the other event .
Sample space -all possible outcome of an event
Tree diagram-A diagram use to organize outcome that contains a branch
example:
