Question

What best describes probability?

Answer 1

Answer;

- the chance that something will happen

Explanation;

Probability is the extent to which something is probable; the likelihood of something happening or being the case. It is the chance that something will happen.

- We say it is the likelihood of an event happening, an event being a set of outcomes of an experiment to which a probability is assigned. Probability may be calculated by getting the ratio of the favorable (wanted) outcomes divided by the possible outcomes.

Answer 2

The probability of a given event is a measure of the likelihood that the event occurs. Probability, itself, is the branch of mathematics which studies how such a measure can be calculated or estimated and of how the probabilities of events can be combined.
