What is Probability?
Probability is how likely something is to happen;the likelihood of a event.
How Do You Determine the Likelihood of An Event?
The formula for figuring out the likelihood of an event is
put the number of ways it can happen on top
---------------------------------------------------
and put The total number of outcomes on the bottom

and put The total number of outcomes on the bottom
What is a complement?
A Complement is all the other outcomes.
For example: When the outcome is heads, the complement is tails.
For example: When the outcome is heads, the complement is tails.
Theoretical and Experimental Probability
Theoretical- the probability that is calculated using math formulas. This is the probability based on math theory.
Experimental- calculated when the actual situation or problem is preformed as an experiment. In this case, you would preform the experiment, and use the actual results to determine the probability.
