Theoretical Probability

What is the formula to calculate probability?

• $\Pr\left(event\right)=\frac{number\ of\ possible\ outcomes}{total\ number\ of\ outcomes}$

• $\Pr\left(event\right)=\frac{total\ number\ of\ outcomes}{number\ of\ possible\ outcomes}$

• $\Pr\left(event\right)=\frac{number\ of\ possible\ outcomes}{total\ number\ of\ outcomes}\ \times100\%$

• Probability is the process of being lucky and guessing the answers.
