Step 1 · Learn

Walkthrough

Read this first — it covers the idea in plain language with a worked example.

The probability scale

Probability runs from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain). One-half means an event is just as likely to happen as not.

Calculating probability

For equally likely outcomes, probability = (number of favorable outcomes) ÷ (total number of outcomes).

Worked example

A bag has 3 red and 5 blue marbles. What is the probability of drawing red?

  1. →Favorable outcomes (red) = 3.
  2. →Total outcomes = 3 + 5 = 8.
  3. →Probability = 3/8.
