The probability of an event is the number of favourable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. What is the total number of possible outcomes of tossing a number cube? 6 How many outcomes are favourable to the event of getting a five? 1 So the prob is 1/6 or 0.16667
Calculating Probabilities for Equally Likely OutcomesStep 1: Count the total number of possible outcomes of an eventStep 2: Count the number of outcomes that represent a success - that is, the number of outcomes that represent the desired result.Step 3: Determine the probability of success by dividing the number of successes by the total number of possible outcomes:
Odds in Favor ^Wrong..It's theoretical probability.
Find the total amount of possible outcomes, that's your denominator for the fraction, the bottom number, and find the amount of successes, that's your numerator, the top number. Turn the fraction into a decimal and that's your answer.

Is the number of all possible outcomes of an experiment. The number depends on the experiment.
There are 36 possible outcomes.
The total number of possible outcomes is the product of the number of values for each event.
The probability of an event is the number of favourable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. What is the total number of possible outcomes of tossing a number cube? 6 How many outcomes are favourable to the event of getting a five? 1 So the prob is 1/6 or 0.16667
The number of possible outcomes that matches the event divided by the total number of possible outcomes is the probabilityof that event.
You find the total number of outcomes by adding the first part of the odds to the second part of the odds. For example: 1:1 The total number of outcomes would be 2. To find the ratio of equally likely outcomes to the total number, find the number of outcomes, and put it on the left of the semicolon. Then put the total number on the right side. For the same example: (outcomes)->1:2<-(total)

Probability
Find the total amount of possible outcomes, that's your denominator for the fraction, the bottom number, and find the amount of successes, that's your numerator, the top number. Turn the fraction into a decimal and that's your answer.
The maximum likelihood estimate, possibly.
