Key Concepts

Equally Likely Outcomes

Assuming that each outcome in the sample space is equally likely simplifies probability calculations. This means that the probability of an event can be found by taking the simple ratio of the count of favorable outcomes to the total outcomes.

Probability

Probability is the study of quantifying the likelihood of an event occurring, defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes in a given situation.

Sample Space

The sample space is the complete set of all possible outcomes in an experiment. Knowing the sample space is essential when calculating probabilities as it represents all potential events that could occur.

Favorable Outcomes

Favorable outcomes are the outcomes that satisfy the condition of the event being considered. Determining the number of favorable outcomes is necessary to compute probability by comparing this number to the total number of outcomes in the sample space.
