    1) Probability is a measure of how likely something is to occur, expressed as a number between 0 and 1. An example is rolling a six-sided die where the probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6. 2) There are three types of probability: theoretical based on all outcomes being equally likely, relative frequency based on experimental results, and personal or subjective probability based on an individual's beliefs. 3) Fun facts about probability include the odds of bowling a perfect 300 game being 1 in 11,500 and the odds of being born in a particular time, place and circumstance being around 1 in 400 trillion.

    Some of the key takeaways are that probability is a measure of likelihood of an event occurring between 0 and 1, and it gives rise to a new topic in mathematics. Probability can be theoretical, relative frequency, or subjective.

    The three types of probability are theoretical probability, relative frequency interpretation, and personal or subjective probability.

    Empirical probability is the ratio of the number of outcomes in which a specified event occurs to the total number of trials in an actual experiment.

    An Iconic PowerPoint Presentation

    Quote
    The theory of probability and the theory of errors now constitute a
    formidable Body of a great mathematical interest and of great practical
    importance.
    -R.S. Woodward
    This means that probability changed towards the world of mathematics when it was introduced in the year 1654. Probability
    gave rise to a new topic in mathematics.

    Probability

    welcome to Our presentation

    Probability is the measure of the likelihood that an event will occur. Probability is
    quantified as a number between 0 and 1 (where 0 indicates impossibility, and 1 indicates
    certainty). The higher the probability of an event, the more certain that the event will
    occur. A simple example is the tossing of a fair (unbiased) coin.

    Probability

    What Is Probability ?
    Probability is the chance of happening of an event.

    Probability is the measure of how likely something will occur. It is the ratio of desired outcomes to total outcomes.
    (desired)/(total)

    If I roll a number cube, there are six total possibilities. (1,2,3,4,5,6)Each possibility only has one outcome, so each has a
    PROBABILITY of 1/6.For example, the probability of getting number 5 on dice is 1/6.

    Empirical Probability

    The empirical probability, relative frequency, or experimental


    probability of an event is the ratio of the number of outcomes in which a
    specified event occurs to the total number of trials, not in a theoretical
    sample space but in an actual experiment.
    Empirical Probability=

    No. of times an event occurred in an

    experiment
    Total No. of trials/observations

    Types Of Probability
    Threetypes of Probability.
    1. Theoreticalprobability: For theoretical reasons, we assume that all n possible outcomes of a
    particular experiment are equally likely, and we assign aprobabilityof to each possible
    outcome. Example: The theoreticalprobabilityof rolling a 3 on a regular 6 sided die is 1/6.
    2. Relative frequency interpretation of probability: We conduct an experiment many, many
    times. Then we say Relative Frequency is based on observation or actual measurements.
    Example: A die is rolled 100 times. The number 3 is rolled 12 times. The relative frequency
    of rolling a 3 is 12/100.
    3. Personal or subjective probability: These are values (between 0 and 1 or 0 and 100%) assigned
    by individuals based
    on how likely they think events are to occur. Example: The
    probability of my being asked on a date for this weekend is 10%.
