Probability

Probability is used to say how likely it is that events are going to happen, as we can’t predict events with total certainty.

Terms used in probability:

a) Likely-expected to happen

b) Unlikely-not expected to happen

c) Probably-may happen

d) Never – will surely not happen

e) Sometimes– happens but not always

f) Always-happens all the time

Formula for finding a probability of something happening:

Probability = Number of favourable outcomes ÷ Number of possible outcomes
