IntroductionIntroduction
• Probability is the maths of chance and gambling, telling us how likely an event is to occur.
• The probability of an event occurring is usually written as a fraction or as a percentage.
Quit
• Toss one coin, assume it is a fair coin and ignore the chance of it landing on its edge.
P(Head) =12__
TH
• There are only two possible outcomes – either a head H or a tail T.
P(Tail) =12__
Quit
DefinitionDefinitionThe probability of an event occurring is:
P (event) = Total possible number of outcomes
Number of times this event occurs–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

• Consider a deck of cards. There are four suits called hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades.
• In each of these there are 13 cards – an ace, the numbers 2 to 10 inclusive, and the picture cards: jack, queen and king.
• This makes a total of 52 cards in an ordinary deck. Some games require one extra card, the Joker. We will not use this extra card.
• If the cards are boxed (shuffled or mixed) and then 13 cards dealt to each of four people, the chances of a particular person getting 13 clubs are 635,013,559,600 to 1.
• This is more than the number of seconds in 20,000 years!

Combining ProbabilitiesCombining Probabilities
• If two events happen simultaneously, a sample space can be constructed to see clearly the possible outcomes.
• A sample space involves putting all the possible outcomes of one event on one axis of a grid and all the possible outcomes of a second event on the other axis.
