What is the result of dividing the number of successful outcomes by the number of possible outcomes?
The result of dividing the number of successful outcomes by the number of possible outcomes is known as the probability of an event. This value ranges between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates that the event cannot occur, and 1 indicates that the event is certain to occur. Probability can also be expressed as a percentage by multiplying the result by 100.
