Favourable outcomes in a series of trials are those where the outcome is what you are looking for.
The word "favourable" has positive connotations in normal usage but that should not be applied here. For example, if I am studying the spread of a fatal Infectious Diseases, the event that would be looking for is that someone gets infected. In all likelihood, no one will consider that to be favourable in the normal sense!
The probability of an event is the ratio of the favourable outcomes to the total number of trials.

A die is thrown once what probability that it is a six?
It is 1/6. (It is just the same if the favorable outcome is 1,2,3,4 or 5, provided that it is a fair dice.)
Is it true that probability predict the precise outcome of an individual event?
False. Probability only predicts the outcome. It does not assure the outcome.
How is an outcome different than a favorable outcome?
When the outcome consists of an event that is not the one you are looking for.
Can the probability of an outcome be more than 1?
No, the probability of an outcome can't be more than 1.
What probability is the ratio of favorable outcomes to possible outcomes?
It is the theoretical probability of the event.
What is the probability of getting 1 right answer out of 2 questions if the favorable outcome is 40 percent?
The probability is 0.48
What is the ratio of favorable outcomes to total outcomes?
The probability of the event that comprises the favourable outcome.
What is favorable probability?
Favourable probability is the probability that the outcome that you are looking for does actually occur.As an aside, "favourable" can be an unfortunate word if you are looking for the probability of an undesirable outcome - being the victim of a fatal incidence. Not many would consider that as being "favourable".
What is the outcome of lower esophageal ring?
The probability of a favorable outcome is high. Swallowing difficulties can be alleviated in almost every case, and the rate of complications from bougienage or surgery is less than 1%.
What is a ratio that shows the total number of times the favorable outcome happened to the total number of times the experiment was done?
The probability of the event occurring.
A die is thrown once what probability that it is a six?
It is 1/6. (It is just the same if the favorable outcome is 1,2,3,4 or 5, provided that it is a fair dice.)
What does probability level mean?
The probability level for an outcome is the probability that the outcome was at least as extreme as the one that was observed.
What is the difference between an outcome and a favorable outcome?
An outcome is any result or consequence, good or bad, desired or undesired. A favorable outcome is the desired consequence. Your right but you should giva an example like i rolled a number six and my favorable outcome is i would like to rool a two.
Where does luck comes from?
superstition, luck is just probability. If you tend to get a favorable outcome then you are considered lucky, if when probability is involved you tend to get an unfavorable outcome then you are said to be unlucky. There isn't some divine force that governs weather or not you're lucky. and really things like shamrocks and black cats have no effect on your "luck"
Explain probability distribution?
The probability distribution of an experiment is a function that maps the probability of each possible outcome of the experiment to that outcome.
How is an outcome different than a favorable outcome?
When the outcome consists of an event that is not the one you are looking for.
Is it true that probability predict the precise outcome of an individual event?
False. Probability only predicts the outcome. It does not assure the outcome.
