What is a favorable outcome in probability?

Back

A favorable outcome is the result of an event that we are interested in.

Front

What is the total number of outcomes?

Back

The total number of outcomes is the sum of all possible results of an experiment.

If a bag contains 2 silver coins, 2 gold coins, 6 copper coins, and 5 brass coins, what is the total number of coins?

Back

Total coins = 2 + 2 + 6 + 5 = 15 coins.

In a probability experiment, if you have 10 red tiles and 15 blue tiles, what is the probability of drawing a red tile?

Back

Probability of red tile = 10 / (10 + 15) = 10/25 = 2/5.

How do you predict outcomes based on ratios?

Back

To predict outcomes, use the ratio of favorable outcomes to total outcomes and apply it to the new total.

What is a sample space in probability?

Back

A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.
