Probability

Ok so today im going to teach you a little about probability. The probability is the possible outcomes that something can happen. One way to express the probability is p(event). I think that this section is really easy and will just go straight and show you a few examples because it isnt that hard to understand.

So this will be out of a standard deck of cards. The first thing you will need to understand a deck of cards.

52 cards.
26 red cards
26 black cards.
4 suits
clubs spades hearts dimonds
13 in each suit
the suit consist of an ace 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 jack queen king
jack queen and king are face cards.

* Now that i have explain to you the standard deck of cards i will work a few problem.

p(black cards) = 26/52 This will reduce to 1/2 it is very important to make sure you reduce the fractions.

p(a 2or3)= 2/13

P(facecard)= 12/52 3/13

*another example can the the probability of rolling a die*
consist of numbers 1-6

P(even) 1/2

P(odd) 1/2

P(123or4) 2/3

BAM!!!!!!!
