Key concepts & formulas
01
**Probability** = favourable / total (equally likely outcomes).
02
0≤P(E)≤10 \le P(E) \le 1; P(sure)=1P(\text{sure}) = 1; P(impossible)=0P(\text{impossible}) = 0.
03
Sum of probabilities of all outcomes =1= 1.
04
Complement: P(not E)=1−P(E)P(\text{not } E) = 1 - P(E).
05
Experimental: fraction of times an event occurs.
