Key Concepts

Probability

Probability measures the likelihood that a specific event will occur. It is expressed as a fraction, decimal, or percentage, and is a fundamental concept in fields such as statistics and mathematics.

Mutually Exclusive Events

Mutually exclusive events are those that cannot occur at the same time. When events do not overlap, the probability of either event occurring is the sum of their individual probabilities.

Percentage

Percentages are a way to express a number as a part of 100. They are useful for comparing proportions and are often directly used as probabilities when scaled properly to reflect the likelihood of events.
