Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with the likelihood or chance of events occurring. This chapter introduces the theoretical approach to probability, moving beyond experimental observations to mathematical calculations. Understanding probability helps us make predictions about uncert
Key Concepts
Outcomes that have the same chance
Outcomes that have the same chance of occurring. For example, when tossing a fair coin, getting heads or tails are equally likely outcomes. When rolli
P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes
P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes. This formula, given by Laplace in 1795, allows us to calculate probability wi
Events that have only one outcome
Events that have only one outcome. For a die, getting exactly 1, getting exactly 2, etc. are elementary events. The sum of probabilities of all elemen
Two events are complementary if one
Two events are complementary if one is 'not' the other, and together they cover all possible outcomes. If E is an event, then Ē (not E) is its complem
Probability values always lie between 0
Probability values always lie between 0 and 1 (inclusive). P(E) = 0 means the event is impossible (like getting a 7 on a standard die). P(E) = 1 means
Learning Objectives
- Understand the difference between experimental and theoretical probability
- Learn to identify equally likely outcomes in various experiments
