The ratio of favorable outcomes to unfavorable outcomes.

The sum of favorable outcomes and unfavorable outcomes.

The likelihood of an event occurring. (correct)

The product of favorable outcomes and unfavorable outcomes.

What is the formula for calculating probability?

P(A) = number of possible outcomes/number of favorable outcomes

P(A) = number of favorable outcomes : number of unfavorable outcomes

P(A) = number of favorable outcomes/number of possible outcomes (correct)

P(A) = number of unfavorable outcomes/number of possible outcomes

Study Notes

Probability and odds are two important concepts in understanding chance events.
Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring.
Odds are the ratio of favorable outcomes to unfavorable outcomes.
Probability is used for gauging the likelihood of an event, while odds are useful for updating probabilities with new information using Bayesian reasoning.
Independent events are those where the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other.
The formulas for probability and odds are P(A) = number of favorable outcomes/number of possible outcomes and Odds(A) = number of favorable outcomes : number of unfavorable outcomes, respectively.
The product rule is used for multiplying probabilities and odds, while the sum rule is used for adding probabilities.
Conditional probability is the probability of an event given that another event has occurred.
To convert between probability and odds, the formulas Odds(A) = P(A) / (1-P(A)) and P(A) = Odds(A) / (1 + Odds(A)) can be used.
Understanding odds and probabilities is essential in the world of chance.
