What is the formula for calculating probability?

Back

Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of outcomes).

What is theoretical probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is the probability calculated based on the possible outcomes in a perfect scenario, without conducting an experiment.
