What is probability? Put simply, it is the chance of an event occurring. Probability is often expressed in quantifiable terms as either a percentage or a decimal: for example, the chance of a coin landing as heads is 50% . It is impossible to be certain you can correctly predict whether the coin will land heads or tails, which makes the act of flipping the coin a random event. We can however, calculate the probability of the coin landing heads or tails.
