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%.
- If you've bought a lottery ticket with 50 possible winners, your probability of winning is 2%.
