Document Summary
Probability of a occurring = # ways a can occur / total # of outcomes the answer of this will be a ratio between 0 & 1. This is because you have 2 outcomes, and the chances of you tossing heads is 1/2 because there is 1 head and two total options. Conditional probability: when the probability of landing one thing is a ected by previous events or trials that had taken place: so say you have cards and you want to pull an ace. Say you pull a card out, and put it aside because it is not the one you are looking for. Now your probability for the next draw is 4/51, so your chances have gone up. For conditional probability: p (b/a) / #o = # of ways b can occur given a occurred / total # of tries. Dependent events: occurrence of one alters the probability of occurrence of the other event happening.
