Simple Probability

Simple Probability: Learn

Probability =
total ways a specific outcome will happen
total number of possible outcomes

Example: There are 87 marbles in a bag and 68 of them are green. If one marble is chosen, what is the probability that it will be green?

Probability =
specific: green (68)
total: all (87)
= 68 ÷ 87 = 0.781609...

Watch the instructions carefully to determine how many decimals places to round, or if the number should be converted to a percent. In the example above, if we round to two decimal places, we get 0.78.
