What is the formula for calculating theoretical probability?

P(Event) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes.

P(Event) = Total number of possible outcomes / Number of favorable outcomes.

P(Event) = Number of unfavorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes.

P(Event) = Number of favorable outcomes + Total number of possible outcomes.
