PROBABLITY

 Probablity is the likelihood that the event will occur.


 Two Conditions
Value is between 0 and 1
Sum of the probabilities all event must be 1

Basic terminologies

 Experiment: An experiment is like a test or a trial where you do something


to see what happens. For example, flipping a coin to see if it lands heads or
tails is an experiment.

 Trial: A trial is just one attempt or one time you do the experiment. If you
flip a coin five times, each flip is a trial.

 Event (outcomes): An event is what you're looking for or what you want to
happen during the experiment. For example, in rolling a dice, getting a 6 is
an event.

 Sample Space (set of all possible values): The sample space is like a list of all
the things that could possibly happen in your experiment. If you roll a dice,
the sample space includes the numbers 1 through 6 because those are all
the possible outcomes.

 Mutually Exclusive Event: When events are mutually exclusive, it means


they can't happen at the same time. For example, in a game of chance, you
can't win and lose at the same time.
 Equally Likely Event: Equally likely events are those where each outcome in
the sample space has the same chance of happening. In a fair coin toss,
getting heads or tails is equally likely because each has a 50% chance.

 Independent Event: Independent events are like trials that don't affect each
other. For example, if you flip a coin and then roll a dice, the outcome of the
coin flip doesn't change what happens when you roll the dice.

 Dependent Event: Dependent events are like trials that do affect each other.
For instance, if you draw a card from a deck and don't put it back, the
chances of drawing a certain card change because one card has already
been taken out.
