When you are asked what is the probability of drawing "thing a" when you have only the same amount of "thing b," is called an equally likely event. For example: In a hat you have 8 black marbles and 8 black marbles. Since there the same amount of both, the chance of picking a black marble is 50% and picking a blue marble is 50%. This is an equally likely event.

What does equally likely mean in math term?
The two events have the same probability of happening.
What does it mean for two events to be equally likely?
1/4
What does it mean when all the theoretical probabilities are the same?
All that it means is that you have chosen to divide up the event space into events that are equally likely.
What is the definition of equally likely mean?
that everything is a equal part of a whole.
What is a chance of 5050 like what does it mean?
The 50/50 chance means there are two outcomes, and each on is equally likely. A coin has a 50% chance of coming up heads and 50% chance of coming up tails. If we have a number of events or outcomes, and little information to based which one is more likely to occur, we can assume that they are equiprobable events or outcomes.

What are equally likely event?
Two events that have the same chance of happening. For example, if I flip a coin the event of obtaining a 'head' is equally as likely as the event of obtaining a 'tail'. But equally likely does not mean 0.5 probability. It's possible that it's equally likely that someone in Ontario, Canada will die from being stung by a wasp as from being electrocuted in their kitchen at home. Neither event is very likely but the two events could be equally likely.
What does equally unlikely mean in probability?
Two events are equally unlikely if the probability that they do not happen is the same for each event. And, since the probability of an event happening and not happening must add to 1, equally unlikely events are also equally likely,
What does it mean when all the theoretical probabilities are the same?
All that it means is that you have chosen to divide up the event space into events that are equally likely.
What does share mean in math?
It means to divide equally
What does complementry events mean in math?
Involves two or more events
What does equally likely mean?
equally likely means as likely as the other side ex: 1 piece of candy on this side,1 piece of candy on that side
What is the definition of equally likely mean?
that everything is a equal part of a whole.
What does equally likely mean in spinners if one is red two is blue one and is green?
It means the probability is equal for all of them. If you were to grab one the chances of grabbing another are the same. But in this case it is only equally likely for the red and the green. But if you were to grab two the chances would be equally likely because of the amount of spinners.
