Probability

Probability is a mathematical measure of how likely an event is to occur. It is expressed as a number between $0$ (impossible) and $1$ (certain), or as a fraction or percentage.

Example

The probability of rolling a $4$ on a standard six-sided die is $P(4) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total possible outcomes}} = \frac{1}{6}$.
