Probability Definition and Meaning.
What is probability
Probability is a measure of the likelihood of a particular event occurring. It is a number between 0 and 1, with 0 indicating that the event will not occur and 1 indicating that the event will certainly occur. A probability of 0.5, for example, indicates that the event has an equal chance of occurring or not occurring. The probability of all possible outcomes in a given situation must add up to 1.
How to find probability for a coin
The probability of getting a certain outcome when flipping a coin is 1/2 or 0.5. This is because the coin has two possible outcomes, heads or tails, and each outcome is equally likely. The probability of getting heads is 1/2, and the probability of getting tails is also 1/2. This can be written as P(heads) = 1/2 and P(tails) = 1/2.
It's also possible to find the probability of multiple outcomes when flipping a coin. For example, the probability of getting heads twice in a row is (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4, since the probability of both events happening is the product of their individual probabilities. Similarly the probability of getting Tails is als0
How to Find probability when we throw a dice
The probability of getting a certain number when rolling a fair dice is 1/6 or 0.16666. This is because the dice has six possible outcomes, numbered 1 through 6, and each outcome is equally likely. The probability of getting a 1 is 1/6, the probability of getting a 2 is 1/6, and so on. This can be written as P(1) = 1/6, P(2) = 1/6, P(3) = 1/6, P(4) = 1/6, P(5) = 1/6, P(6) = 1/6.
It's also possible to find the probability of multiple outcomes when rolling a dice. For example, the probability of getting a 4 and a 6 in two rolls is (1/6) * (1/6) = 1/36, since the probability of both events happening is the product of their individual probabilities
