Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events

The probability that event A occurs is 1/2

<h3>How to determine the probability of event A</h3>

From the question, we have the following highlights

The above means that, the sample space of the events is;

S = {A, B}

So, the sample size is:

n(S) =2

The probability is then calculated as:

$p = \frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$

This gives

$p = \frac{1}{2}$

Hence, the probability that event A occurs is 1/2
