Discrete Probability

Question 0

What is the formula used to denote the probability that an event E will occur?

Answer 0

P(E)=the number of outcomes in E/The total number of possible outcomes.

P denotes probability.

Example: What is the probability that an odd number will come out when rolling a die?

P({1,3,5})=|{1,3,5}|/6=3/6
