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".

Probability equals favorable outcomes divided by total number of outcomes.
That's the 'probability' of a favorable outcome.but only if the outcomes are equally likely.
It's the number of favorable outcomes & the number of possible outcomes.
The formula for probability is as follows:Probability = Total number of favorable cases / total number of casesIt always lies between 0 and 1 and has no unit.
The probability of getting a 2 on a six sided die is 1/6. The probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6 The probability that any of the six numbers will come up is 1/6. Probability is found by "the number of ways of getting the favorable event/the total number of possibilities". Since there is only one number 2 on a a die, then there is only one way to get the favorable event. The total number of sides on a die is 6, so there are six different possibilities total that can come up. So, probability of rolling a 2 is 1/6.
