PROBABILITY

JIMBOY: Good day everyone. Hi I’m James Ryan Caasi. In this video we gonna learn on how do math with things that are only
sometimes happen. It might be LIKELY OR UNLIKELY. We gonna learn about PROBABILITY.
JIMBOY: Usually in Math, we do things that always happen the same way. There completely certain like if you add 1 and 1
your always get 2, and if you multiply 2 and 3 your always gonna get 6. But in the real world things are not always predictable.
Think a coin toss for example. We cannot predict whether it will be heads or tails, its unpredictable or random. That’s why
some people will flip a coin to help decide which of two things to do. But even we don’t know what each coin flip is gonna be .
We do know of few things about it. You know that with a fair coin toss the HEAD is just likely to show up its TAIL. The
Probability of an event like getting head or getting tail is the value that tells how likely that event is to happen.

Jimboy: With our coin toss since each side is just likely and there’s only two side to a coin, and if we flip the coin a lot of
times we should expect that about half of flips will be HEAD and about half of flips will be TAIL that means that the probability
of flipping head is the fraction of one and half (1/2) and the probability of flipping tail is also one and half (1/2).

Jimboy: Let’s look at this in a little more detail on something called the probability line, it’s a number line that goes from 0 to
1. The probability of 0 means that an event cannot happen. Its IMPOSSIBLE. And a probability of 1 means that an event is
definitely going to happen. ITS CERTAIN. That’s why the probability line only goes from 0 to 1. Meaning the event can’t be less
likely than IMPOSSIBLE more likely than CERTAIN. A Probability of one and half (1/2) like with our coin toss means that an
event is just as likely to happen and as it not to happen. The probability that less than one and half (1/2) means that an event
is UNLIKELY. The probability that greater than one and half (1/2) means that an event is LIKELY. And addition to fraction it also
common to write probability in decimals or percentages since you can easily convert between those three. The probability of
0 is the same as a 0% chance of something happening. A Probability of one and half is the same as 50 percent chance of
something happening. And a probability of 1 is the same as a hundred percent (100%) chance of happening.

Jimboy: So that’s all. THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.
