Probability is the branch of mathematics where we determine how likely an event is to occur. It is represented as a numeric value ranging from 0 to 1. Probability can be calculated as:
Below are a few examples illustrating the concept of probability in different situations:
What are the chances of the following events when we pick a random number from 1 to 10 ?
- The number is divisible by 1
100% are divisible by 1, as all numbers are completely divisible by 1, so we say probability is 1.
- The number is divisible by 11
0% are divisible by 11 as, none of the number is divisible by 11 as they are greater, so we say probability is 0.
- The number is divisible by 2
50% are divisible by 2, numbers like (2, 4, 6, 8, 10), so we say probability is 1/2.
- The number is divisible by 5
20% are divisible by 5, numbers like (5 and 10) so we say probability is 1/5.
