Any event has multiple outcomes. The desired outcome is called a success. Any other outcome is called a failure. Probability is the ratio of successes to total outcomes. 0 ≤ P ≤ 1 When all outcomes are equally likely, we say the outcomes occur at random.
5
s = number of ways an event can succeed f = number of ways an event can fail
