What is probability?

Probability is a field in mathematics that deals with the possibility of how an event is likely to occur or true.

  • The probability of favorable outcomes (winning) = 6
  • The probability of unfavorable outcomes (not winning) = 40 - 6  = 34
  • The total possible outcome = 40

The probability of not winning = 34/40
