Definition
Probability is a measure or estimation of how likely it is that/some event(s) will happen or that a statement is true.
Max Value > 0 and≤ 1
Probability in Sholay
If a coin has same both sides, the chances of head is always=P(Head)=1
Probability in Sholay
If a coin has same both sides, the chances of A tail is always=P(Tail)=0
P(Head) or (tail)
P(Head) or P(Tail)=0.5
In a statistical experiment ∑P(P1+P2……………PN)=1
P(Head)+P(Tail)=0.5+0.5=1
Tiny Example
Red,=2,Green=3 & blue=5. If you randomly select 1 marble, probability of that it would be green is ?Answer:
10 equally likely outcomes three of which are green marblesP( green )= 3/10= 0.30.
10 marbles
P(Desired one) = ( Number of desired in urn) / ( Total number of equally likely outcomes ) = D / N
If a coin is tossed n times(≥2) then A coin is tossed three times. What is the
probability that it lands on heads exactly one time? (A) 0.125
(B) 0.250 (C) 0.333 (D) 0.375 (E) 0.500
Solution Answer is (D) Outcomes: HHH+HHT+ HTH+THH+ HTT+ THT+
TTH+TTT=8. Of the 8 possible outcomes, 3 have exactly one
head= HTT, THT, and TTH,then probability that three flips of a coin will produce exactly one head is 3/8 = 0.375.
