Understanding Probability πΈ
Probability is the measure of the likelihood that an event will occur. It quantifies as a number between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates an impossibility and 1 indicates certainty. For instance, the probability of flipping a coin and it landing on heads is 0.5, assuming it's a fair coin!
- βοΈ Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
- Examples: Rolling dice, drawing cards, or picking a froge at random!
