Probability

So, over the past week we learned different types of probability. Probability is part of statatics. It tells you the odds or chances of something happening or not happening. It's always in between 0-1 an is in a fraction. The final answer of your fraction should be simplified. Some of the most common types of probability is dealing with dice or a deck of cards. I'm going to show you an example of each.

Example 1. What are the odds of drawing a diamond out of a standard deck of 52 cards.
They're 13 diamonds in a deck of cards. So you would put 13/52 which simplifies to 1/4. Thatvid your final answer.

Example 2. What are the odds that you roll higher than a four when rolling a six sided die
Since there is two sides higher than 4 and six total sides you would do 2/6 which simplifies to 1/4.

That's about all probability is. It's pretty easy.

That's it, carleyyyy
