To understand probability, let’s look at a simple example: tossing a coin. A regular coin has two sides: heads and tails. When you toss it, there are two possible results.
Probability tells us how likely something is to happen. We can find it using this easy formula:
Probability = Number of good outcomes / Total possible outcomes
For our coin toss:
So, the probability of getting heads is:
Probability of Heads = 1 / 2 = 0.5
This means there’s a 50% chance that the coin will land on heads!
The same chance applies for tails too.
Isn’t probability cool?
