PROBABILITY:

Possible occurrence of events.

Probability of occurrence of an event P (E)
No of favourable outcomes N(E)
P(E) =
Total no of possible outcome N(S)

Probability of an event not occurring Q(E)

Q(E) = 1 – P (E)
Formula :P(E) +Q(E) = 1
Probability = N(E)/n(S)
N(s)= sample space
Probability based on coins: 2^n
1 coin – n(S)=2^1=2
One coin {H,T}= 2
2 coin – n(S)=2^2=4
Two coins { HH,TT,HT,TH}= 4
3 coin – n(S)=2^3=8
Three coins { HHH,TTT,
HHT,TTH,
HTH,THT,
THH,HTT.} = 8
4 coin – n(S)=2^4=16
