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:
If the outcomes of the trials are equally likely, then (and only then) is it the number of favourable outcomes and the total number of trials.
Theoretical probability- what the probability "should be" if all outcomes are equally likely.
That's the 'probability' of a favorable outcome.but only if the outcomes are equally likely.

If you randomly pick a date in April how many equally likely outcomes are there?
6
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)
They are two or more outcomes whose probabilities are the same.
If the cube is fair and balanced like Fox, then there are six equally likely outcomes,or so they would have you believe.
"Equally likely"; nothing more, nothing less.

If each of the ways is equally likely then it is the probability of the event but otherwise it is simply a ratio.
There are 210 = 1024 of them.
Theoretical probability is the probability of an event when all outcomes are equally likely. With theoretical probability, you determine the probability by dividing the number of ways the event can occur by the total number of equally likely outcomes.
