    The document provides an introduction to the concept of probability. It defines probability as a numerical measure of the likelihood that an event will occur on a scale of 0 to 1, where 0 means the event is impossible and 1 means the event is certain. It explains that probability is studied to allow for inferences and decisions under uncertainty and research conclusions. It gives an example of calculating the probability of drawing a blue marble from a bag containing marbles of different colors.

    Probability ?
    Research conclusions
    Probability is a numerical measure of
    the likelihood that an event will occur.
    Definition Notation: The probability of an event A is
    written P(A)
    of Scale: 0 ≤ P(A) ≤ 1
    Probabilit
    y If P(A) = 0, event A cannot occur /Impossible

    If P(E) = 1, event A is certain to occur/sure


    Basic
    formula of
    Probabilit
    y
    There are 20 marbles in a bag, 4 blue, 4 green, 4 red,
    4 white and 4 black.  Remember that all fraction
    answers should be given in the simplest form. What
    is the probability of drawing a blue marble? 
    A. 1/20
    Solve it. B. 4/20
    C. 4/5
    D. 1/5
