Study Notes

  • Daniel Carrión, a musician, discusses the concept of probability in this video.
  • Probability is a measure of the likelihood that an event will occur.
  • If probability is close to 100%, the event is likely to occur, while if it's close to 0%, it's unlikely.
  • Using the example of a coin toss, the probability of getting heads or tails is 50%.
  • In decimal form, the probability of getting heads or tails is 0.50 or 0.5, respectively.
  • When expressed as a percentage, the probability of getting heads or tails is 50%.
  • Using another example, if you want the number 4 to come up when rolling a six-sided die, the probability is 16.6%.
  • If you want any even number (2, 4, or 6) to come up, the probability is 50%.
  • When throwing a die, the probability of getting any number between 1 and 8 is 37.5%.
