You cannot determine the number of times an event will occur - unless its probability is 0 or 1.
In other cases, you can estimate the expected number of times it will occur. If the outcome of each trial is independent, then the expected number is the probability of the event occurring in one trial multiplied by the number of trials.
If the outcome of each trial is not independent then you need to develop a model that takes account of the dependencies.

Is it true that the probability of an event is the number of ways it can occur divided by the number of times it cannot occur?
No.
What is the difference between the terms 'probability' and 'relative frequency'?
If an action is repeated n times and a certain event occurred b times then the ratio b/n is called the relative frequency.Where as theoretical probability is used to determine the number of ways that the event can occur if an experiment is repeated a large number of times.
What is the difference between relative frequency approximation of probability and the classical approach to probability?
Relative frequency approximation is conducting experiments and counting the number of times the event occurs divided by the total number of events. The classical approach is determine the number of ways the event can occur divided by the total number of events.
If you draw a card from a standard deck of cards what is the probability of drawing a spade?
To determine probability you do Number of Times the Desired Event will occur -------------------------------------------------------- Number of Possible Outcomes In this case, there are 52 cards in a deck (assuming no jokers). 1/4th of those cards are spades (This gives us 13 spades) so Number of Times the Desired Event will occur = 13 Number of Possible outcomes = 52 You will draw a spade 13 out of 52 times. (13/52) Or reduced - You will draw a spade 1 out of 4 times (1/4)
What is the equation used to determine probability in what ways can the probability be expressed?
Probability = number of times an event is expected to happen / number of opportunities for an event to happen It can be expressed as a percentage or a fraction.

Definition of multiplication counting principle?
If one event can occur in ''m'' ways and another event can occur in ''n'' ways, then the number of ways that ''both'' events can occur together is ''m *n.'' This principle can be extended to three or more events. P.S. - This * in ''m*n'' means multiplication or times.
How often does an annual event occur?
An annual event occurs once a year.
How likely is it that an event with a probability of 0.28 will occur?
7 out of 25 times
If the probability of an event is 3 to 7 what are the odds it will not occur?
four out of seven times
How can you use odd to find probability?
Odds of A to B in favour of an event states that for every A times an event occurs, the event does not occur B times. So, out of (A+B) trials, A are favourable to the event. that is, the probability of A is A/(A+B).
How do you determine experimental probability?
You conduct the appropriate experiment repeatedly and calculate the proportion of times that the specified event occurs compared with the total number of experimental trials.You conduct the appropriate experiment repeatedly and calculate the proportion of times that the specified event occurs compared with the total number of experimental trials.You conduct the appropriate experiment repeatedly and calculate the proportion of times that the specified event occurs compared with the total number of experimental trials.You conduct the appropriate experiment repeatedly and calculate the proportion of times that the specified event occurs compared with the total number of experimental trials.
