PROBABILITY OF SIMPLE EVENT

PROBABILITY LINE:

Probability can be expressed in three ways: as a fraction, decimal


and percentage.
Fractional 0 1/4 1/2 3/4 1
Value
Decimal O 0.25 0. 50 0.75 1. 00
Value
Percentage 0 25% 50% 75% 100%
PROBABILITY OF SIMPLE EVENT
1. What is Probability?
-Probability is a measure or estimation of how equally likely
each event will occur.
2. What is Simple event?

-Is one that can only happen in one way- in other words it has single
outcome.
3. What is sample Space?
-- Is the set of all outcomes in an experiment.

4. What is the formula:
